The proceeding will shortly describe the specificity of the Nordic societies and the Nordic educational systems, and within this frame, point at some common aspects of science education across the Nordic countries – and some differences. With this background the results from a 2020 survey among NFSUN2021 participants about their Nordic values will be presented, analysed, and compared with an equivalent 2011 survey. A majority of the respondents acknowledged a special Nordic approach to science education and to science education research, both in relation to content themes and in relation to the values it is based on. Connecting to Nature and Sustainability was mentioned as core content; cross curricular teaching, experiments and inquiry orientation as central didactical approaches. Most emphasis was given to the values, though. The most central values were respect for the students, a democratic and non-authoritarian approach, and bildung as a central goal. The importance of strengthening these aspects of the Nordic science education research wherever possible is emphasised and some ways to do it is pointed out.
