Societal Security Beyond COVID-19

The overarching theme of the call is to explore the medium to long-term consequences beyond the COVID-19 pandemic as they relate to societal security and the notion of a Nordic community, and how the Nordic countries can evolve together – or not together – for the future.

The research project must include partners from research performing organizations in at least three Nordic countries. Nordic countries are defined here as Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland Islands. The host institution (Project Owner) for the research project must be a research performing organisation based in one of the countries co-funding the call: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden

Salaries and indirect costs of researchers (including overheads); PhD and post-doctoral positions; Research-related costs (such as data collection and analysis, Open Access charges); Project-related costs (such as collaboration activities with project partners and stakeholders); And others (see call text)

Available budget: 45 MNOK Maximum amount of funding that may be sought: 9 MNOK

Projects in this call can address the medium to long-term effects for individuals and groups, for Nordic societies, and for the Nordic community, of the COVID-19 pandemic within the thematic framework of the call. Emphasis is placed on linking research and practice, and the involvement of various types of end users is encouraged to help strengthen the knowledge base for practice and for research-informed policy.

The different policies and practices applied in the Nordic countries will provide opportunities for fruitful comparative approaches. Projects may take advantage of the “natural experiment” aspects of intra-Nordic differences in responses and effects along various dimensions of societal security.
