A well-functioning working life is central to the development of society, as it creates the conditions for economic growth and for the funding of welfare systems. In a time of rapid societal changes, working life must be shaped in such a way that it is inclusive, sustainable and promotes good health and wellbeing.
NordForsk joins major international collaboration to support interdisciplinary and transformative research aimed at harnessing disruptive technology to address global societal challenges.
NordForsk’s new initiative will promote high-quality interdisciplinary research that combines and integrate skills from multiple disciplines. The first call for proposals under the Nordic Programme for Interdisciplinary Research has a budget of NOK 120 million and the deadline for submissions is 13 November 2019.
The Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems (Vinnova), the Icelandic Centre for Research (RANNÍS), Innovation Fund Denmark, Innovaatiorahoituskeskus Business Finland and the Research Council of Norway, in collaboration with NordForsk, are launching a call for proposals for funding of trans-Nordic projects aimed at implementation of personalised medicine in health care.
