The Nordic Gender Institute (NIKK) (''Norwegian: Nordisk institutt for kunnskap om kjønn''), previously ''Nordic Institute for Women's Studies and Gender Research'', was a transnational resource and information centre for gender research and gender equality in the Nordic countries. The Institute aimed at constituting a bridge between Nordic gender research and equality politics. It co-operated closely with the Nordic Ministers for Co-operation on Gender Equality and the Nordic Executive Committee on Gender Equality. It claimed to contribute to the implementation of the Nordic cooperation programme on gender equality: "Focus on Gender: Working toward an Equal Society" (2006-2010). It initiated projects with the goal of gender equality, and coordinated and carried out investigations, studies, surveys, reports and opinions. The Institute was located at the University of Oslo in Norway. It employed research coordinators, researchers, information advisors, and administrative personnel – in 2010 the staff consisted of six employees from four of the Nordic countries. == Reorganizing == In 2011, the Nordic Council of Ministers decided to reorganize NIKK, from a Nordic institute to a Nordic co-operation programme. A bidding round was announced in 2012. The co-operation programme was to further develop the information function, administer a Nordic funding scheme for gender equality and serve as project secretariat. The University of Gothenburg and the Swedish Secretariat for Gender Research won the bidding. Nordic Information on Gender, NIKK, was established in late 2012 and the programme's assignment expires at the end of 2015. As the acronym NIKK is established in the Nordic region and beyond, and associated with information, research and knowledge related to gender and gender equality, the Nordic co-operation programme continues to use NIKK.〔http://www.nikk.no/en/about-nikk/background-to-the-nordic-cooperation-and-nikk/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nordic Gender Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
