The leaders of the networks are younger researchers, with two to seven years' experience since completing their PhD, who will gain valuable experience from international project organization and management.
The work they will lead is about working together with their Nordic partners to develop and participate in applications to EU calls for AMR.
The network call was funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers and NordForsk. A total of NOK 4.8 million was granted, and each network will receive NOK 800,000.
The projects have a duration of two years, and start as early as December 2024. In order to monitor the long-term effect of the award, the project owners have undertaken to deliver reports on the results of the network funds for up to five years after the funding period has ended.
