The purpose of NUAS is to strengthen and develop cooperation and communication between the universities and higher education institutes in the Nordic countries at all administrative levels.
There are 2 heads of universities from every country, and one from Iceland in the governing group. Faroe Islands and Greenland have observer status. The governing group normally holds 4 meetings a year. The administrative Director of the University of the Faroe Islands is the Faroese observer in the governing group.
In addition to meetings of the governing group NUAS organizes one annual meeting/seminar in one of the Nordic countries. In 2007 the University of the Faroe Islands hosted this meeting in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands.
There are several professional groups under NUAS, which arrange seminars, etc. Representatives from the University participate when there are sufficient financial resources and manpower available.
