The Nordic research community may have a front row seat when the European Spallation Source (ESS) becomes operational in 2023. But Nordic researchers have to be well prepared in scientific terms if they are to take full advantage of the unique opportunities offered by this nearly DKK 20 billion research infrastructure in Lund. Therefore, NordForsk has launched a Nordic initiative for neutron research, with an emphasis on building new competencies.
NordForsk has funded three new projects, building on insights from the previous call Welfare among Children and Young People in the Post-Pandemic Nordics. All projects aim to deepen our understanding of young people’s wellbeing and to address key knowledge gaps identified in previous research.
NordForsk is now announcing the third call under the Nordic Programme on Health and Welfare. This call is targeted towards establishing infrastructures based on Nordic registers of socio-economic and health–related data in order to facilitate cross-border research that addresses societal challenges.
Nine Nordic and North American projects will receive funding to research the sustainable development of the Arctic. The projects cover topics such as oceans, freshwater, biodiversity, over-tourism, and minerals.
Nordic Health Crises University Network (HealthCrisNet), coordinated by Centre for Health Crises at Karolinska Institutet, consists of project partners from five Nordic universities.
