Open Call for Nordic Talks

Nordic Talks is a series of live talks and podcasts addressing the biggest global challenges. Through conversations with some of the brightest minds in the Nordics and their counterparts from around the world, we want to inspire each other to act – for a better, more sustainable future.

Nordic Talks is designed to provide a space for contemplation and to share inspiration on how to take action on sustainability issues in our everyday lives. All Nordic Talks are dedicated to addressing the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and all talks provide specific ideas on how we as citizens can take concrete action starting today.

A Nordic Talk can take place anywhere in the world and anyone with a good idea for a talk can apply for funding. We welcome both online and offline events and encourage both independently organised talks as well as plug-ins to existing events, such as festivals or conferences.    

You can apply for three different grants: Small, Medium or Large.

​The total budget for this open call is DKK 2 million. However, 750,000,- DKK out of the total budget is earmarked to projects with one or more Nordic embassies as lead.
