Overview

NordForsk is a Nordic research-cooperation funder with strong relevance for users working across countries rather than only within one national system. Its value lies in coordinated calls and collaborative logic that reflect the Nordic region as a research space. For Cuberfy users, NordForsk is especially useful when the opportunity depends on cross-border Nordic research alignment, institutional cooperation, or thematic regional programs. It is best used as a regional collaboration funder rather than a generic national grant page.

What You Can Find Here

  • Nordic research-cooperation calls and regional funding opportunities.
  • A cross-country funding lens for projects that benefit from Nordic collaboration.
  • Useful support for institutions and teams building multi-country research partnerships.
  • A regional funding architecture distinct from national funders.
  • Program context that helps users think beyond one-country grant strategies.

Who Should Use This

  • Researchers and institutions building Nordic collaborations.
  • University teams planning cross-country proposals in the Nordics.
  • Policy analysts studying regional research-cooperation funding.
  • International scholars exploring Nordic multi-partner opportunities.
  • Students learning how regional funding systems differ from national ones.

How to Get Started

  1. Step 1: Start with the regional collaboration question you are trying to solve.
  2. Step 2: Use NordForsk to identify whether a Nordic cross-country call fits your project.
  3. Step 3: Review consortium, geography, and thematic requirements carefully.
  4. Step 4: Build partner conversations early because regional programs depend on real collaboration.
  5. Step 5: Use the official call materials to shape proposal structure and timing.

Things to Check Before Applying
