Senior Adviser Kine Bugge Halvorsen says: “We are very excited about the eight new projects that have been awarded funding under the Societal Security calls. These eight projects will in different ways tackle important issues on the topic of preparing for future crisis and we are confident that they will make important contributions to Nordic research on societal security in the years to come.”
The eight new projects granted funding involve researchers from all the five Nordic countries: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, and Denmark.
There are eight funding partners in addition to NordForsk: Academy of Finland, Ministry of the Interior Finland, Icelandic Centre for Research - RANNIS, Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, Swedish Research Council, Innovation Fund Denmark, Research Council of Norway, and the Nordic Council of Ministers.
