The purpose
The purpose of the Seed Funding is to give researchers from the Nordic Centre member institutions better opportunities to prepare for larger joint research projects and write proposals for major external research grants.
The goals
Projects should be within one of the Nordic Centre’s four interdisciplinary thematic focus areas:
- Sino-Nordic perspectives
- Sustainable development
- Digitalization and technology
- Health and welfare
Funding
The grant is a lump-sum of 10 000 EUR per project. The funds may be used for costs related to the project application development such as salary costs creating focused time to prepare the application, pilot study costs, travel, meetings, or other costs for preparing the project and build the partnership structure.
