National associations

The member countries of the NVF are Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Each member country has its own national association with a chairperson, vice-chairperson, secretary, and members.

NVF is a co-operation between public and private sectors. The chairpersons of the national associations are the directors of the national road administrations of each country and the vice-chairpersons come from the private sector.

The chairperson, vice-chairperson, and secretary of the national association of the leading country are also the chairperson, vice-chairperson, and secretary of the NVF Board during the chairmanship period.

Working groups

The work in the NVF takes place through the working groups. The working groups have a chairperson, vice-chairperson, and members from the member countries. In the NVF working group the members share and develop knowledge and best practices in the road and transport sector. The working groups work within a common framework and roles.

The working groups are diverse and consist of experts across the public and private sectors. The working groups’ operation is based on a business plan that the groups prepare at the beginning of the period. In addition, the NVF Board may give specific assignments to the working groups.

Working groups are set up in different areas of work. The working groups exist only at the Nordic level. The national associations are free to set up their own working groups independently of the Nordic working groups. The working groups are appointed for a shorter or longer period of time during the four-year NVF period.

At the beginning of the period 2024–2028 there are nine working groups in total. Below you can see the working groups and the countries that hold the chairmanships of the working groups.
