NIOM becomes a

Nordic Co-operative Body

On 1st January  2010 NIOM’s status will change from a Nordic Institute to a Nordic Co-operative Body. This means that ownership of NIOM is transferred from the Nordic Council of Ministers to UniRand a.s. (an arm of the University of Oslo) and the Norwegian Ministry of Health and Care Services to create a proprietary company, Nordisk Institutt for Odontologisk Materialer as (NIOM as). NIOM as will continue the work of NIOM with the same staff and professional services. The Nordic co-operation will be maintained through a contract for financial support from the NMR, and the Nordic countries will continue to be represented on the Board of NIOM as.
