    • Sino-Nordic perspectives
    • Sustainable development
    • Digitalization and technology
    • Health and welfare

    The purpose is to support the development of strong and strategic research and innovation partnerships between Nordic and Chinese universities, and to give researchers from the Nordic Centre member institutions better opportunities to prepare for larger joint research projects and write proposals for major external research grants.

    The grant is a lump-sum of 10 000 EUR per project.
