Nordic+

The Nordic+ is an informal regional peer exchange caucus where government points of contact and civil society alike meet to cross-pollinate ideas, identify best open government practices, and share their experiences in implementing open government reforms.

The Nordic+ was initiated in 2015 by Norway (a founding member of OGP), Denmark, Sweden and Finland, a group of countries known for their welfare systems, low levels of corruption, and societies based on equality, trust, and openness. Membership of this informal network has since grown to include the Baltic states – Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania – as well as Germany, the Netherlands, Scotland, and Iceland (in an observer status).The Nordic+ normally meet once or twice a year in on- or offline formats, depending on the needs and interests of the members.
