The following priority research themes have been identified:
- Various Nordic institutions and their approaches to security threats such as extremism.
- The relationships between various aspects/components of the Nordic governance model and resilience in terms of societal security.
One of the prerequisites for a successful application is that the project includes cooperation commitments from institutions in at least three Nordic countries.
