NORDPLUS
Nordplus Higher Education awards grants to higher education cooperation with Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and other actors in the Nordic and Baltic countries as well as the autonomous regions of the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland.
Grants may be awarded for networking activities, intensive courses, joint study programmes, development projects and mobility of students and academic staff. The goal is to enhance the collaboration between the actors within higher education and with working life. The dissemination of good praxis and innovative results is important. The programme supports also academic mobility and work placements of high quality.
Since 2009 Pallas has been a partner in 12 Nordplus projects.
The collaboration can be established in two ways:
– As a network. The most common way to organise the collaboration in the programme is by networking. A network is usually thematic or subject specific and aims at long term collaboration on a wide range of different activities.
– As a project partnership. This form of collaboration is time limited and focuses on a specific task – a project – with a specific outcome.
