We are looking forward to 2025 in the NORA team. It will be an exciting year, starting with a move back to Lyngby Campus after four great years in the more rural surroundings of Risø near Roskilde.

More publications and new filters
4. February 2025
Expansion of the Portal - more publications and new filters
Research Portal Denmark's publication database, Local Data, now also includes publications from The National Research Center for the Working Environment (NFA). This addition provides users access to an even broader range of Danish research output. Further, two new filters have been implemented in the database: 'Publisher' and 'Corresponding Author'. This makes it easier for users to find relevant information among the many metadata the portal displays from various Danish research institutions. The enhancements are part of a larger expansion, made possible by last year's update of the national DDF-MXD format.
