Friday January 15th the group leaders of N'CLAV met at the Department of Swedish, Göteborg University.
The N'CLAV network is funded by NordForsk and right now it consists of eleven groups in the Nordic countries: Two in Denmark, one in the Faroe Islands, one in Finland, one on Iceland, four in Norway and two in Sweden. At present the Finnish group is situated in Helsingfors, but it will soon be extended to include also people from Åbo university, and hopefully also the researchers working with regional aspects of Finnish syntax.

The primary goal of N'CLAV is to strengthen the co-operation between researchers in language variation in the Nordic countries. There will be two activities per year during the three years that we have funding: One yearly field trip on language variation and one grand meeting.
The first grand meeting will take place in Tromsø, Norway, June 7–9 2010. This is a joint grand meeting for N'CLAV and its predecessor ScanDiaSyn and it will be followed by the closing seminar of the NORMS project, Thursday June 10th.
The first field work will be hosted by the København group, in the spring of 2011 (or maybe the autumn of 2010). More information will be given about both field works and grand meetings as the planning goes along.
