Do you have an idea that can help place the Nordics in the minds of the world? If yes, then you should consider applying for a Nordic Talks grant program.

Nordic Talks is a series of live talks and podcasts addressing the biggest global challenges. Through conversations with some of the brightest minds in the Nordics and their counterparts from around the world they want to inspire each other to act – for a better, more sustainable future.

Nordic Talks is designed to provide a space for contemplation and to share inspiration on how to take action on sustainability issues in everyday lives. All Nordic Talks are dedicated to addressing the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and all talks provide specific ideas on how they as citizens can take concrete action starting today.

A Nordic Talk can take place anywhere in the world and anyone with a good idea for a talk can apply for funding. They welcome both online and offline events, and encourage both independently organised talks as well as plug-ins to existing events, such as festivals or conferences.

Funding Information

The total budget for this open call is DKK 1.5 million.

Eligible Countries: Åland Islands Denmark Faroe Islands Finland Greenland Iceland Norway Sweden

Eligibility Criteria

The short answer to this is; everyone. As long as you meet the criteria they have put forth. Previously they have had both internal (within Nordic co-operation) and external organisations, Nordic diplomatic missions abroad, NGOs, universities, companies, networks, and so on. However they like to think outside the box and are therefore welcoming all creative minds.
