NOITS (The Nordic International Trade Seminars) was established in Stockholm, March 1998, at the network’s first annual workshop. NOITS aims to organise annual workshops with presentations by Nordic researchers and graduate students specialising in international economics.

In addition, a few non-Nordic researchers with a considerable international reputation are invited.

• First, it facilitates collaborative research and scientific contacts among Nordic researchers.
• Second, it offers graduate students and junior researchers an opportunity to present their work, and thereby get valuable feedback, as well as to prepare for international workshops and conferences.
• Third, it is hoped to strengthen the ties between the Nordic academic institutions.

The members of the NOITS organizing committee are:

Rikard Forslid, Stockholm University
Jakob Munch, University of Copenhagen
Linnea Lorentzen, University of Oslo
Helga Kristjansdottir, University of Akureyri
Terhi Maczulskij, ETLA Economic Research
