In April 2006, a new EU funded research project was launched with the title Transnational learning through local experimenting (Translearn). The partners come from Denmark (Copenhagen Business School – CBS), Finland (Helsinki School of Economics – HSE), Norway (Norwegian School of Management (BI) and from a research institute called NIFUSTEP), Sweden (Lulea University of Technology – LTU) and from Slovenia (Faculty of Economics, University of Ljubljana, FELU, contact person professor Marko Jaklic). HSE acts as the coordinator of the project. The duration of the project is three years.
The overall objective of the Translearn project is to develop a road map for transnational learning for how citizens in different socio-economic models can make experimental use of existing institutions, create new governance modes and collaborative partnerships across sectors, levels and divisions of interests. The focal actors to be studied are subsidiaries of MNCs, entrepreneurs and citizens in five national institutional contexts. Through a comparative analysis of the Nordic case studies new insights can be gained for transnational learning during the ongoing process of globalization. The relevance of the Nordic model and the potential for transnational learning are tested by a comparison with cases from Slovenia and its socio-economic model. Researchers from parallel projects studying experimental use of institutional resources in other European socio-economic contexts are invited to a final conference, to be held in March 2009.
