Summary
NordForsk is a Nordic research funding organisation operating under the Nordic Council of Ministers. It funds collaborative research programmes across the Nordic and Baltic countries, opening approximately six calls per year on a rolling basis. The funding model emphasises Nordic Added Value — i.e., research that is strengthened by involving multiple Nordic or Baltic countries. Thematic scope is broad and changes with each call cycle. Current and recent calls cover: green Nordic region themes (forests, green transition), competitive Nordic region themes (AI, disruptive technologies, research infrastructure, innovation), socially sustainable region themes (education, health, elderly care, indigenous research), societal security, Arctic development, and antimicrobial resistance. Aquaculture is listed as a topic filter on the calls page, indicating past and potential future calls in this area. Eligible activities include research projects, research networks, research schools, infrastructure hubs, and capacity-building networks. The programme funds both full research projects and preparatory/networking activities. Grants range from small networking funds to large multi-million NOK research programmes. Geographic scope is the Nordic-Baltic region (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). Cross-Nordic and cross-Baltic consortia are required. International cooperation is also supported in some calls. Eligible applicants are primarily researchers and research institutions — universities, research institutes, and equivalent higher education organisations. NGOs and companies are not typical lead applicants. At least 3 Nordic or Baltic countries must normally be represented in a consortium. Budget varies significantly by call: the Research Infrastructure Hubs call offers up to NOK 180 million; the natural science networks call offers up to NOK 30 million. Typical research projects receive multi-year funding.
