There will not be any special calls in 2024. Instead, we will provide discretionary and small-scale funding outside the general call.
Special funding for topical projects and themes
Foundations as research funding organizations can react rapidly to changes in society.
In 2024, we will provide discretionary and small-scale funding (max. €10,000 per project) outside the general funding call for fast-track projects that enable or support sustainability transformations that protect natural systems. In this category we fund only Finland-based initiatives. Please send your application to us at toimisto(at)nessling.fi. The title of your message should be “Funding application for a fast-track project”. The application (max. one page) should indicate the purpose of the project. Attach a timetable and budget.
