The Networking and Event Support call for 2026 is now open for proposals. With this call, Nordic Energy Research wants to strengthen the exchange of knowledge and skills among Nordic PhD students and researchers.   

This year Nordic Energy Research also includes Nordic-Baltic cooperation in the Event and Networking support activities to establish energy research cooperation between Baltic and Nordic countries.

The call enables PhD students and researchers to improve their communication and dissemination skills, acquire new competencies, and broaden their research perspectives by holding events. These events should foster interaction with other researchers, private industries, authorities, and the public from different Nordic and Baltic countries.  

Budget

The dedicated budget for 2026 is 900 000 NOK (of which 200 000 NOK are dedicated for Nordic-Baltic projects).

The available budget will be distributed following a first-come, first-served principle. This implies that the probability of receiving funding decreases accordingly to the number of granted applications during the year. The call closes when the budget is exhausted or at the end of the year. This will be communicated on Nordic Energy Research’s webpage.
