Funding for academic events at the Nordic Centre at Fudan University

Researchers at the Nordic Centre's member universities may apply for between 2,000 and 6,000 euros for research seminars, workshops, courses, conferences and other academic events at the Nordic Centre at Fudan University in Shanghai.

Applications involving at least two of the Nordic Centre's Nordic member universities - preferably from different Nordic countries - and one or more Chinese partners will be given priority. Emphasis is placed on events in which Fudan University or one of the Nordic Centre's Chinese associate member institutions participates. Other Chinese universities may also be included as partners.

The same applies to applications relating to one or more of the priority thematic areas for cooperation between the Nordic region andChina.

Emphasis is also placed on events that can strengthen the professional networks of early-career researchers, forge new links between Nordic and Chinese researchers, and lead to joint applications for larger external grants. The events must be open to participation and contributions from all Nordic Centre member institutions.

Applicants are encouraged to invite researchers from all Nordic Centre member institutions to participate or contribute several months before the event.
