Pre-announcNordForsk plans a call for proposals on responsible use of Artificial Intelligence based on a Nordic-Baltic initiative. The call for proposals will open in February 2025.

NordForsk aims to fund projects that address shared Nordic and Nordic-Baltic societal challenges in the context of extensive use and implementation of AI in the region. These challenges include, but are not limited to, ageing populations, ongoing structural developments in the labour market, societal and political polarisation, health systems, education, competence development and lifelong learning and the green transition of the economy.

This initiative seeks to explore the use, development and implementation of AI, on an individual, organisational and societal level, creating prerequisites for responsible and critical future approaches.

MSCA Staff Exchanges involve organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors (including SMEs) from across the globe.

Support is provided for international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary mobility of R&I staff, leading to knowledge transfer between participating organisations.

Staff exchanges fund short-term international and inter-sectoral exchanges of staff members involved in research and innovation activities of participating organisations. The aim is to develop sustainable collaborative projects between different organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors. Exchanged staff benefit from new knowledge, skills and career development perspectives, while participating organisations increase their research and innovation capacities.

Success rate in the 2023 call was approximately 30%.

K2 congratulates Professor Kurt Hanevik and partners in Ethiopia and Mozambique on the grant from the EU EDCTP3. The project Impact of a cryptosporidiosis point-of-care test-and-treat strategy in children with diarrhea (CryptoT&T) started this week.

Cryptosporidium is a parasite causing severe diarrhea, especially in young children in low- and middle-income countries, leading to many deaths and long-term health issues. CryptoT&T aims to test a new diagnostic method using LED microscopy to quickly and accurately detect the infection, allowing for timely treatment. The goal is to reduce the duration of illness and improve treatment for children with Cryptosporidium infection in two low-income countries as well as evaluate the cost-benefits of diagnostics and treatment, aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and WHO goals.
