Dear friends, dear early adopters of the Nordic Caucus of the ISA,

It is with great pleasure that we can inform you that the Governing Council of the ISA last night approved our application for a Nordic Caucus (NOCA).

We have made plans to hit the ground running, so NOCA will be fully functional by the end of the convention, with committees, awards, etc.

We would love to see you and hear your views on the matter at our Inaugural Business Meeting Sunday 02 March (12:30-13:30) in the Buckingham room at the Chicago Hilton.

You can keep up with NOCA through the ISA website, as well as by following us on Bluesky (@nordic-isanet.bsky.social).

As you may know, the future of the caucus within the ISA will largely depend on your support, so don’t forget to sign up for membership to NOCA when renewing your ISA membership. We will have the chance to properly celebrate this with an inaugural reception in Columbus, Ohio, in 2026!

See you soon.

Your NOCA Interim Executive

Halvard Leira (Chair, 2025-27)
Benjamin de Carvalho (Program Chair, 2025-27)
Isabel Bramsen (Awards Officer, 2025-27)
