    The link is an overview of allocations from the insurance company Tryghedsgruppen's foundation Trygfonden. The Danish study is one of the receivers of funds.

    This is not the first time they've supported a project like this.

    Well, here is a surprise:

    2008 | TryghedsGruppen and a new partnership

    Tryg i Danmark smba changes its name to ’TryghedsGruppen'. TrygVesta and AXA Corporate Solutions enters a partnership agreement. TrygVesta is now able to use the international network of AXA Corporate Solutions to meet Nordic customers' international insurance requirements.

    which showed AXA working in collaboration with Arthur Cott to establish national guidelines in Canada in 2001

    It would be interesting if the TryghedsGruppen could be tied more closely to the "PRISMA" group of aligned insurance companies- whatever that might be, or have been. It would certainly explain a great deal if the Nordic countries are involved.

    That last post needs some amendment. "PRISMA" appears to have been merely one provider of rehabilitation services. As such it entered into agreement with insurance companies for a particular range of services. It seems probable that insurance companies would, in each area that they covered, seek to enter into similar agreements with the local service provider. This seems unobjectionable if the parties are "at arms length", negotiating on an open basis. In some cases arms may not be of the requisite length. More research is needed.
