Need a kickstart?
A step-by-step introduction to the application process, so you will easily find all you need.
Project idea
A good application needs to be based on a good project idea. To find inspiration for a project idea, you can try:
- Reading about other projects – get inspired by reading about what others have accomplished!
- Discussing with the head of your institution and your colleagues: What kind of challenges would you like an international approach to?
- Talking to others who have participated in projects. Participating at national and international conferences is a good way to meet people with project experience, and maybe also a future project partner?
Find a partner
Nordplus cooperation requires partners from other Nordic or Baltic countries. Here are some leads to finding international cooperation partners:
Nordplus partner search -The Partner Search is currently under construction but will operating soon. If you have any questions, please contact your Nordplus national agency.
- International seminars and conferences
- Preparatory visits
- The international network of your own institution
- Trade organisations or professional organisations
- Twin towns or cooperation regions
