Stakeholders taking part at a meeting in December with NordForsk’s Nordic Research Infrastructure Co-operation Committee (NRICC) in Oslo had a chance to discuss the status of Nordic research infrastructure cooperation as well as how best to facilitate and further expand such cooperation.
A joint Nordic-Baltic proposal has received funding from the European Commission to support the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). On request from the five Nordic e-infrastructure providers Nordic eInfrastructure Collaboration (NeIC) coordinated the Nordic-Baltic proposal worth 6 million euros. NeIC will be the coordinator of the EOSC-Nordic project and also lead a Work Package on FAIR data. The project will seek to establish the Nordic and Baltic countries as frontrunners in the take-up of the EOSC concept, principles and approach.
NeIC 2019, the Nordic Infrastructure for Open Science conference, will be held in May 2019 and will give special focus to how cooperation across borders can help to strengthen Open Science.
Researchers whose work is targeted towards promoting sustainable societies are invited to participate in a new Nordic research initiative on sustainable urban development and smart cities. A call for proposals is expected in March 2019.
Digitalisation is a recurrent theme on today’s European, national, and regional development agenda. It is also a priority focus area for the Swedish presidency of the Nordic Council in 2019.
NordForsk is announcing NOK 7 million in funding for the organisation of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on neutron scattering techniques. The application deadline is 21 September 2018.
How far have the Nordic countries reached when it comes to addressing open science? What incentives and rewards are needed to engage scientists to openly share their research? And how do we involve other parts of society more closely in research? These were a few of the questions being discussed during the Nordic Open Science Conference 15-16 November 2018 in Stockholm.
On 3 October, a workshop on the topic of good data management in the Nordic countries took place in Stockholm. The workshop was organised by the Swedish Research Council in collaboration with NordForsk and NeIC (Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration). It focused on strategic work on data management issues, enhancing FAIRness and open access to research data, and exploring potential for Nordic collaboration.
NordForsk is announcing NOK 7 million in funding for the organisation of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on neutron scattering techniques. The application deadline is 21 September 2018.
