Join us for a full week dedicated to creativity, innovation and the future of artificial intelligence across disciplines. NOW 2026 brings together all five faculties at Nord University for the first time, creating an open arena where researchers, students, industry partners and the public explore AI from educational, ethical, creative, economical, biological, social, health-related and technological perspectives.

Nord Open Week (NOW) is an international, interdisciplinary conference that explores artificial intelligence across all five faculties at Nord University. Over the course of a full week – from creative workshops and public events to academic sessions and industry dialogues – NOW brings together students, researchers, educators, professionals and the wider community. The aim is to spark new ideas, foster collaboration and engage with AI’s educational, ethical, creative, social, health-related, biological, technological and economic dimensions.
