Call for Applications: The 2026 edition of the French Institute Nordic Award (FINA)
The French Institute Nordic Award (FINA) aims to foster scientific cooperation on a theme of shared interest for both the Nordic countries and France. The theme of the 2026 edition of FINA is the Arctic.
Each year since 2020, the French Institutes in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Norway and Sweden jointly award a prize to five young researchers from the Nordic region in recognition of their outstanding achievements.
The 2026 edition of the FINA Prize aims to highlight the work of young Nordic researchers working on the Arctic by giving them the opportunity to travel to France to develop or strengthen scientific cooperation with French institutions and researchers.
This programme is open to consortia composed of four young researchers (PhD students or holders of a PhD degree for less than five years).
Application deadline: June 19, 2026
