The total budget is NOK 30 million, and NordForsk expects that 15 networks will receive funding.
Thorbjørn Gilberg is Special Advisor at NordForsk and responsible for the call under NOS-N. He says:
“I am very pleased with the broad interest in this call. The applications cover the entire Nordic region, encompass many themes and demonstrate a strong willingness to collaborate. It is positive to see that so many new networks and young researchers want to take an active part in Nordic co-operation. This reflects the core of NOS-N’s purpose – to promote natural science research through coordination and ongoing exchange of knowledge and experience between the Nordic countries.”

Aim of the call and thematic framework
By establishing a Nordic initiative for interdisciplinary research networks within natural science and engineering, the Joint Committee of the Natural Science Research Councils in the Nordic Countries (NOS-N) wishes to facilitate collaboration between scientists with clear potential for synergies within the Nordic countries and bolster the international competitiveness, innovative nature, and ground-breaking potential of Nordic research.
Through an emphasis on early-stage researchers (2-7 years after completion of their PhD), NOS-N also wishes to encourage the next generation of Nordic researchers to create new or tighter links across national and discipline borders and build strong collegial networks with a decisive impact on future careers and research trajectories.
