Application Checklist

Eligibility

Organisation or project must have a clear connection to Nordic countries or contribute to Nordic policy priorities on plastic pollution

Project Scope

Work must address plastic pollution, microplastics, or circular value chains for plastics within a life cycle approach
Focus on knowledge generation, policy reports, guidelines, or product design recommendations rather than direct implementation/operational projects
Activities should contribute to national, regional, or international policy development and advocacy (e.g., UN Plastics Treaty negotiations)

Required Documents

Contact Hans Jakob Eriksen (haneri@norden.org) for information on commissioned research or collaboration opportunities

Constraints

No open call described — prospective applicants should check the general Nordic Council of Ministers funding portal and contact the programme coordinator directly
This programme is primarily an institutional inter-governmental framework; direct NGO project grants are not described and may not be available under this specific programme

Historical Context

The Nordic countries have previously produced influential reports and policy recommendations as part of inter-Nordic collaboration on plastic pollution, providing a knowledge base for ongoing international negotiations. The current programme (2025–2027) sustains this momentum. Multiple publications have already been released under this or related earlier programmes, covering global policy interventions, sustainability criteria for plastic products, indicators for plastic pollution, and plastic material flow statistics.
