Deadline: 3 February 2020
The Nordplus programme of the Nordic Council of Ministers is inviting applications from the Nordic and Baltic institutions and organisations working with or involved in education and training.
The main change to Nordplus 2020 is that Further education for academic staff is an eligible activity in the Nordplus Higher Education programme. This change has been introduced to make it possible for academic staff to benefit from the Highlight “digital competence” which is valid for the 2020 Call.
The five Nordplus programmes are:
- Nordplus Junior – funds networks, projects and mobility from preschool up to secondary education.
- Nordplus Higher Education – funds networks, projects and mobility for the higher education sector.
- Nordplus Adult – funds networks, projects and mobility for institutions and organisations working with adult education and learning.
- Nordplus Horizontal – funds cross-sectoral projects and networks.
- Nordplus Nordic Languages – funds networks and projects aiming at strengthening the comprehension of the Nordic languages.
Funding Information
- The total amount of available funds in the round is about 10 million euro.
- For the 2020 application round, an extra amount of approx. 400.000 euro is allocated for exchange of pupils, teachers and students in the Nordplus Higher, Junior and Adult programme.
- This is a significant increase of the budget available this year and the chance to obtain a grant for pupil-,student- or teacher exchange from the programme will thus be higher in the round.
