About Embassy of France - French Institute Nordic Award

The French Institute Nordic Award is an international research mobility and collaboration program designed to strengthen Arctic scientific cooperation between Nordic countries and France.

Benefits of Embassy of France - French Institute Nordic Award

The FINA recognises the quality and relevance of the work carried out by the laureates. Each member of the selected consortium will receive a grant from the French Institute of their country of affiliation:

  • Finland: 2 000€

  • Sweden: 20 000SEK

The grant consists of a lump sum that will be awarded as a contribution to transportation, accommodation and living expenses for the planned stay (at least one week).

The provisional programme must be defined by the applicants, but the French Institutes will help the FINA 2026 laureates to set up their program and to make contacts.
