Call pre-announcement: Foreign Affairs, Security, and Defence Policy in the North Atlantic and the Arctic

A call for proposals on Foreign Affairs, Security, and Defence Policy in the North Atlantic and the Arctic - in the FASDiNA programme - is planned to open in August 2026.

The intention is to fund two Research Projects with up to 3 MDKK each, and a number of Policy Briefs and/or shorter research projects.

The overall changes in the global geopolitical situation are directly affecting the North Atlantic and the Arctic region. The Faroe Islands and Greenland are facing growing pressure from superpowers seeking to influence the countries through commercial and political actions. This has created an urgent need to gain data and build competency on how to manoeuvre in the new reality of security in the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Denmark.

The overall objective of the FASDiNA programme is to generate new knowledge on Foreign Affairs, Security, and Defence Policy in the North Atlantic and the Arctic. Additionally, the programme aims to promote cooperation between the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Denmark in this field.

Proposals will be funded within the fields of Foreign Affairs, Security, and Defence Policy, mainly but not exclusively considering aspects such as societal changes, trade, civil and military preparedness, digital and physical infrastructure, supply security, low-tension policy, conflicting interests, and state formation.

The call will be announced on gransking.fo, It will be shared on LinkedIn and by direct email to relevant institutions in Greenland, Denmark and the Faroe Islands. Send us an email, if you want to receive the call announcement directly, and remeber to follow us on LinkedIn.
