The aim of the first call in the programme is to provide solutions for the major energy challenges faced by our societies and businesses in the green transition. As we move towards carbon neutrality, there is a need for joint Nordic research and a shared knowledge foundation to identify the best solutions to overcome obstacles and seize opportunities in the field of sustainable energy.

Nordic added value of the programme

“Nordic added value” points us in the direction of what we are looking for: Solutions that will work better, if implemented together, between neighbouring Nordic countries and across our borders. Projects should create outcomes and impact of greater value for the countries involved than could be achieved through national activities alone.
