The Nordic-Russian Cooperation Programme in Higher Education and Research is funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
A new call for funding is available for collaborative research projects on Nordic societal security in light of the emerging global and regional trends. The total amount of funding available for this Nordic call is set at NOK 44 million and the deadline for the submissions is 20 November 2019.
There is a great need for new knowledge about vaccines, methods of treatment and the different ways in which the Nordic countries are tackling the COVID-19 pandemic. The Nordic region is now launching new initiatives to enhance research collaboration and prepare the region for any future pandemic.
