The overarching aim of the initiative is to combine and integrate knowledge-based, digital innovation efforts with research on the related effects and impact on society and end-users. This is based on factors that enable and drive digital transformation of public sector, such as emerging technologies, emerging organisational practices, and emerging regulatory frameworks and governance mechanisms.
NordForsk is now issuing a call for proposals for research and innovation projects on digitalisation of the public sector. The call has a budget of EUR 7,4 million and the deadline for submissions is 16 January 2020.
NordForsk, Academy of Finland, Forte, Research Council of Norway, Innovation Fund Denmark, the Estonian Research Council, Ministry of Education and Science of Latvia and UK Economic and Social Research Council, are collaborating to fund research in the field of digitalisation of the Public Sector. Up to ten research projects with a budget of maximum EURO 1 million each will be funded. Tentatively, a call for proposals will be issued in the autumn of 2019.
Digitalisation is a recurrent theme on today’s European, national, and regional development agenda. It is also a priority focus area for the Swedish presidency of the Nordic Council in 2019.
