The Arctic Cooperation Programme of the Nordic Council of Ministers has opened up its call for new
project applications for financial support in 2021.
The aim of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Arctic Cooperation
Programme 2018–2021 is to create sustainable and constructive development in
the Arctic and for its people based on the four P’s: planet, peoples,
prosperity and partnerships.
It is central to the Nordic Council of
Ministers’ Arctic Cooperation Programme 2018–2021 that specific needs of the
Arctic will be accommodated and that the programme will contribute to the
region’s sustainable development. In this context, the Agenda 2030 and the 17
global sustainable development goals adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015
play a significant role.
Funding Information
A maximum of DKK 500,000 pr.year can be applied
for. For each year the funding is granted, it is expected that projects will
run within the year requested. If there are time problems in the project, you
can get an extension, typically from lei to a maximum of 1 year.
Criteria
- Partnerships and co-operation:
As a general rule, three Nordic countries must be involved in a
co-operation project. The leading partner must be from one of the Nordic
countries. A partnership between three Nordic countries can be
supplemented with one or more non-Nordic countries—for example, one or
more of the other Arctic states (USA, Canada and Russia). It is considered
vital that all partners are active participants and contribute to the
outcomes of the project.
- Nordic synergies and added
value: Co-operation projects that receive funding are obligated to
generate added value. In other words, this added value must provide
"Nordic synergy". There are several ways to achieve "Nordic
synergy".
- Among the various project teams
and consortiums are different leading institutions in Arctic affairs,
newly established Arctic youth organisations, NGOs, artists, universities,
associations of indigenous people and entrepreneurs from the Nordic region
and beyond.
