Promoting interests of Nordic engineers through
cross-organisational cooperation

The Association of Nordic Engineers, ANE is a cooperation organisation between trade unions representing more than 500.000 engineers in the Nordic region. ANE is a platform for affiliates to share know-how and generate new ideas. The created knowledge is used for policy influencing in the region, at the EU level and globally.
The primary objective is to promote the attractiveness of STEM education, strengthen the role of engineers in the transition to a sustainable society and advocate for good working conditions for STEM professionals in the labour market.

Competences for a Sustainable Future

The report Competences for a Sustainable Future is the first attempt to provide a unique picture of the particular STEM skills needed to drive the ongoing and necessary development of a greener Nordic energy sector and how to mitigate the expected shortage of STEM professionals with green skills.

Towards a Circular Economy

This report provides an overview of the future need for STEM and engineering skills in the transition to and during a circular economy. The benefits of transitioning to a circular economy outweigh the disadvantages. However, more efforts are needed to move from conceptualisation to implementation. 

Sustainable Limitless Work

Limitless working brings flexibility and freedom to be able to choose where and when tasks are performed. At the same time, digital site-independent workplaces put new demands on the relationship between employees and employers. This report explores the effects of limitless working. 

ANE’s Core Policy Areas

Just Twin Transition

Just Twin Transition

We believe that technology can be used to achieve sustainability goals, but it must be done in a fair and inclusive way. We strive to share Nordic engineers’ know-how as their expertise and innovative thinking are key in developing solutions for the Just Twin transition within the Nordics, the EU, and the rest of the world. 
Future Skills & Work-life

Future Skills & Work-life

We support the professional development and work-life balance of engineers. We engage with policymakers at Nordic and EU levels, to promote STEM education, close the STEM skills gap and advocate for lifelong learning opportunities. We also address the risks of limitless work, by shifting responsibilities to employers, unions, and legislators. 
Responsible Tech

Responsible Tech

We promote the use of technology for societal good. Engineers have a key role in creating and applying responsible tech, but they need support, guidance, and governance from others. We advocate for an increased focus on distributed responsibility to protect the developers and for collaborative safe spaces, where innovation can spur responsibly.
