Since 1890, representatives of the Ministries and Departments of Social Security in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Denmark have been working to create a foundation and a framework for a common Scandinavian research and development project concerning the quality of life of the mentally retarded. In 1992, with financial support from The Nordic Council of Ministers, the exchange of information and the building up of a network was begun, involving those taking part in some 50 development projects in Scandinavian countries. The project has focussed on three themes central to efforts made on behalf of and with the cooperation of mentally retarded people in these countries: the mentally handicapped person in the local community, independence and the quality of life, and communication. The aim of the project is to establish a Scandinavian network of key persons in the field, to systematize and propagate promising developments and to cast light on differences and similarities between various Scandinavian models for research and development related to the mentally retarded.
自1890年以来，挪威、瑞典、芬兰、冰岛和丹麦的社会保障部门代表一直致力于为一项关于智障人士生活质量的斯堪的纳维亚共同研发项目创建一个基础和框架。1992年，在北欧部长理事会的财政支持下，信息交流和网络建设工作开始了，参与其中的有斯堪的纳维亚国家约50个发展项目的相关人员。该项目聚焦于这些国家为智障人士所做努力及合作中的三个核心主题：当地社区中的智障人士、独立性与生活质量以及沟通。该项目的目标是建立一个该领域关键人员的斯堪的纳维亚网络，将有前景的发展成果系统化并加以推广，同时阐明与智障人士相关的各种斯堪的纳维亚研发模式之间的异同。
