Uppsala Castle | 13 September 2025Theme: Artificial Intelligence – Ethics, Challenges, and the Future of Work and Education

We are proud to announce the upcoming edition of the SPOT Nordic Annual Meeting, which will take place on 13 September 2025, in the iconic Uppsala Castle, Sweden.

This gathering brings together Portuguese and Nordic researchers, professionals, policymakers, and institutional partners for a full afternoon of ideas, discussion, and community.


Why This Matters

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how we work, learn, and govern. From regulation to innovation, education to employment, AI forces us to rethink structures across sectors. This year’s event provides a space to reflect on the ethical, political, and professional dimensions of AI — while also strengthening cross-border collaboration between Portugal and the Nordic region.
