About This Opportunity

This call aims to support the establishment of Nordic research networks within the humanities and social sciences, where researchers have great academic freedom to explore and develop themes, topics and activities based on their own curiosity-driven research ideas. The program is organized by NOS-HS (Joint Committee for Nordic Research Councils in the Humanities and Social Sciences), a collaboration between research councils in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. NOS-HS expects to fund up to 22 networks under this call. The initiative operates under the auspices of NordForsk and provides funding for researchers 2-7 years post-PhD who are employed at Nordic research institutions. The call introduces a novel Distributed Peer Review (DPR) approach in which applicants themselves participate as reviewers as part of testing new peer review methods.
