The initiative is especially focused on prevention and intervention through industry studies and comparative studies of different industries. There are two calls for research funding during 2021.

This Open Call 2 for initiating practice-oriented research in collaboration with working life actors specifically aims to add new practice-oriented knowledge for prevention and intervention relevant for combating sexual harassment in working life in the Nordic region.
