Propose A Program

Scientific Programs are an integral part of research at NORDITA. The international scientific community is invited to propose future programs.

Invitation to propose a NORDITA Scientific Program

Invitation to propose scientific programs for 2010-2011 (PDF-file).

Deadline for proposals is 1 December 2008.

Guidelines for proposals

A successful proposal for a scientific program at Nordita should include:

• A clearly motivated scientific case, spelling out the benefits for the Nordic and international research community. This part of the proposal should not exceed 2 pages.

• A list of scientists from the international community and from the Nordic countries, who are willing to participate in the program. Applications for stays of less than three weeks are discouraged.

• A budget outline that should not exceed SEK 450000 (€47600) per month of program. If a program is funded, the final budget is determined by NORDITA based on discussions with the program coordinators.

The coordinators of a NORDITA scientific program should preferrably include scientists from at least one Nordic academic institution. Program topics can range beyond the traditional borders of theoretical physics and scientists in related areas of the natural sciences are encouraged to submit proposals.

Proposals for scientific programs should be submitted as PDF files to programs (insert at) nordita.org with the subject line "Program proposal" in the e-mail.

Evaluation of proposals

The proposals will be evaluated by external experts, including NORDITA’s research Committees. The NORDITA board will decide on the funding of scientific programs at its meeting in early 2009.
