The Nordic Council of Ministers has announced NORDPLUS for Higher Education 2025-26. The Nordplus Higher Education program is aimed at universities and colleges in the Nordic and Baltic countries. In project and network cooperation, at least three partners from three different participating countries must participate. Nordplus Higher Education supports network cooperation, intensive courses, development projects, joint study programs, and student and teacher mobility to universities and colleges.

Support is provided for innovative development projects, joint curriculum development, dissemination and use of results from networks and projects, quality assurance, language training, and the establishment of new networks. In 2025, Nordplus focuses on applications related to the theme “Skills and knowledge for a competitive Nordic and Baltic region.”

The application deadline is Monday, February 3, 2025, and applications should be submitted in Espresso. The BOA team at the Study Department is happy to provide application support.
