The objective of NORSLIS is to increase the quality of doctoral education in library and information science (LIS) in order to meet the requirements of a knowledge society. The research school intends to achieve synergic effects, effectiveness and efficiency in doctoral education and research of LIS by collecting the scattered scientific expertise, often in small-size research educational units, throughout the Nordic and Baltic countries. The means are networking of research students and supervision by research courses, workshops, road show seminars, exchange of scientific personnel and mobility of students, and by inviting scholars (of high international standing) to bridge the knowledge gaps that exist in the Nordic and Baltic LIS environment. NORSLIS comprises a network of 14 Nordic and Baltic institutions all having a PhD-program in LIS. The number of guiding experts with qualified positions is about 30 and the number of doctoral students is about 170. In addition, some 20 post-doctoral students will be involved within its activities. Most of the leading and internationally well-established LIS-researchers from the Nordic and Baltic countries will take active part in the research school as teachers and supervisors. In addition, well-known international scholars will participate in courses, seminars and workshops.
