In the Nordic countries, several reports point to challenges for young researchers in the social sciences and humanities. The academic career paths for young researchers within the Humanities and Social Sciences are under pressure from a range of sources. Such pressure includes the lack of sufficient research funding, as well as the disconnect between an increasing number of temporary research positions and a stable or decreasing number of permanent academic positions.
Aim of the call and thematic framework
The NOS-HS-Project Grant Call is an open call for bottom-up curiosity-driven research within the humanities and social sciences.
The call aims to provide an opportunity for early-career researchers (2-7 years) to build Nordic networks, and to promote Nordic added value in research.
