Application Checklist

Eligibility

Nordic countries (Denmark qualifies)
Research institution must typically lead; NGO as operational partner
Nordic partnership required — identify Danish university partner

Constraints

Call is closed; next round not announced
Nordic focus means no developing country component in scope
Over 100 applications for last round suggests very high competition

Summary

NordForsk funds collaborative Nordic research and is relevant primarily as a way to co-lead with a Danish university on a green transition or circular economy research project. The organisation's field data from plastic collection operations in Denmark, Greenland, or the Baltic would be a distinctive contribution to a Nordic research consortium. Monitor nordforsk.org for announcements of a second green transition call or a new environmental focus call.

Historical Context

NordForsk's Green Transition call closed in December 2025 and received over 100 applications. No successor call has been announced as of March 2026. The current open calls (April-June 2026) are in education, social sciences, and disruptive technologies — none relevant. The organisation should monitor NordForsk for a second green transition or environmental science call, likely in late 2026 or 2027.
