The Nordic Africa Institute invites Nordic researchers to encourage their African partners to apply to its Virtual Library Programme.
The programme provides time-limited access to selected e-resources from the Institute’s library, along with an introductory session via Zoom. Through this initiative, the Nordic Africa Institute seeks to support capacity-building in African studies, fostering knowledge production about Africa while promoting connections within and between African and Nordic research communities. It also aims to strengthen the operational objectives of Co-creation of knowledge and Bridging of African and Nordic perspectives in the institute’s strategy for 2022-2026.
The programme is directed at early carrier researchers based in Africa and engaged in Africa-oriented research. The research topic should be within the disciplines of Social Sciences and Humanities, and with a focus on contemporary Africa.
The research should also be relevant to the core principles of the UN Agenda 2030.
The programme is open to: Postdoctoral researchers employed by an African-based university or research centre and who are part of an approved research project with African and Nordic partners (Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Iceland).
