The Nordisk information för kunskap om kön (NIKK) is pleased to announce an open call for Initiating Practice-Oriented Research in Collaboration to prevent measures and intervention methods in industry-specific or industry-comparative terms.

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.
