NordForsk will open a call for proposals for research projects on Sustainable Development of the Arctic. The plan is to open the call mid-February 2024, and that the submission deadline for the first stage proposals will be mid-May 2024.
The call will focus on research that can contribute to new knowledge for a sustainable development of the Arctic. There are no priorities, but three keywords can inspire applicants when developing their research ideas into proposals: Security, Natural Resources and/or Societal Changes. It will be required to consider the indigenous perspectives when relevant.
The research funded must be truly interdisciplinary and excellent, combining and integrating skills from multiple disciplines to contribute with new and groundbreaking knowledge for a sustainable development of the Arctic.
NordForsk is planning for the call to open mid-February 2024, and that the submission deadline for the first stage proposals will be mid-May 2024. Available budget is approximately 190 million NOK. All Nordic countries are participating in the funding of this call. The Finnish funder is the Research Council of Finland.
