Call for proposals

Call for Proposals 2025

The NKS invites proposals for activities to be partially supported (up to 50% of total cost) in 2025 from an expected budget of 3 million DKK. No specific priorities have been identified with this call, but proposals must address at least one of the research areas as described in the NKS-B framework document. Information regarding the NKS-B framework as well as instructions for applicants and application forms can be found via the links below. Please take the time to read the instructions to applicants carefully so it is clear to you what is expected from applicants by NKS in terms of information to be provided in the application form and the reporting of output from the activity.

PLEASE NOTE THAT CONSIDERABLE CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE PROPOSAL FORMS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA THIS YEAR (DETAILS OUTLINED IN SECTION 1.5 OF THE HANDBOOK FOR NKS APPLICANTS AND ACTIVITY LEADERS). 

Please note that we have two different proposal forms: one for application for new activities, and one for application for continuation of running activities. For any additional information please contact the NKS-B Programme Manager Kasper Andersson.
