NordForsk
The Estonian R&D&I strategy “Knowledge-based Estonia” lists co-operation with the Nordic countries as one of the priorities of Estonian research co-operation. NordForsk is a platform for joint Nordic research and research infrastructure cooperation. The organisation was established in 2005 by the Nordic Council of Ministers in order to strengthen the Nordic research and Innovation Area. NordForsk’s mandate is to facilitate, i.e. to identify and respond to, strategic priorities for Nordic research cooperation, and thereby create Nordic added value. Estonian researchers can participate in NordForsk’s calls for proposals.
