The Nordic Master Programme

Higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Nordic countries are welcome to apply for
funds to develop joint master degrees under the Nordic Master Programme. In order to apply, HEIs from a minimum of three Nordic countries must collaborate.

Each project may be awarded up to 1 million DKK, and six projects may receive funding under this year's Call for proposals. The application deadline is Wednesday 15 September 2010.

How to apply:
The applications must be submitted online and the tool used is called Espresso. Click here to access the online application form: http://espresso.siu.no

 
In addition to submitting the online application electronically, the consortium must also send a "Signature form" and "Letter of endorsement" by regular mail to SIU. These documents are made available in Espresso after the online application has been submitted.
The “Signature form” should be signed by the project coordinator, whereas the “Letter of endorsement” should be signed by the rectors (or equivalent) of all the participating institutions.
The “Signature form” and “Letter of endorsement” must be received by SIU within three weeks of submitting the online application.
