Abstract
This chapter analyses and discusses the coherence of Nordic terminology co-operation. The hub of this co-operation is the Nordterm network initiated in 1976. Over the years, a bridge has been built from Nordterm to each country and vice versa. We describe the development of Nordterm and the history of terminology organisations in each of the Nordic countries, and outline the research activities and the development of methodologies as well as the teaching and training activities carried out in the Nordic countries. Nordic term banks and terminology portals as well as contri­butions to the international terminology community are described. We also explain how the conditions for terminology work in the region have changed.
