The call has been announced with the intention to fund research activities that address shared Nordic and Nordic-Baltic societal challenges in the context of extensive use and implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the region.
The Nordic and Baltic countries are highly digitalised societies with digitally literate populations, advanced industries and developed e-governance systems, common societal traits, as well as strong university sectors and innovation capacities, providing fertile grounds for research and innovation activities with added value.
A strategic priority of the Nordic Council of Ministers is for the Nordic collaboration to contribute to a green, competitive and socially sustainable region. The Baltic region is regarded as a key partner in the joint efforts. Responsible and ethical use of AI will be vital in achieving these priorities as well as many of the UN sustainability goals. Research is essential to be able to release the potential of technology solutions in a knowledgeable, responsible and ethically sound way.
Eligible initiatives should contribute to cross-border mobilisation of capacity and competence building among Nordic and Nordic-Baltic research communities and strengthen networks and collaborations. The call is administered by NordForsk.
Deadline: 13 May 2025, 13:00 (CEST/Oslo Time).
Available Latvian budget: 600 000 EUR. Participation of Latvian researchers has been made possible with funding from the Latvian Council of Science.
