Apply for Nordic PhD or postdoc exchange in the field of Health Crises
The Nordic Health Crises University Network aims, among other things, to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration between Nordic universities in the field of health crises. Over the next two years, it will be possible to apply for funding for a short-term exchange. The visits should focus on health crises, last between 2–6 weeks, and the total cost may not exceed SEK 30,000.
Welcome to an information meeting on November 5!
The Centre for Health Crises at Karolinska Institutet coordinates the Nordic Health Crises University Network. The network consists of members from universities across the Nordic countries and aims to contribute to strengthening Nordic preparedness, resilience, and capacity to manage health crises. The focus is particularly on university collaboration in areas such as pandemic preparedness and health interventions, as well as extreme weather events.
