Research projects are funded over three years of research activities and adress specific focus areas of the SNS Strategy plan. 

The aim of the SNS research project funding is to:

• Interlink projects initiated in the Nordic region

• Increase synergies in forest research in the Nordic countries

• Promote cross sectoral collaboration of sectors within a sustainable bioeconomy

• Bridge gaps between research and forestry in practice

 

Participants in projects should include at least three researchers at research institutions in the Nordic region, and successful applicants may receive funds from SNS of approximately 100 000-350 000 SEK/year for three years, covering at most a third of the total budget for the project.

SNS strives to enhance benefits for the Nordic region and contribute to development of a sustainable society.
