Scientific Programs at Nordita

One basic concept under which Nordita operates is scientific programs.

A scientific program is a workshop where a limited number of scientists work together on specific problems for a period of 1-2 months with at most 25 participants, consisting of:

a core of 8-12 internationally recognized leaders in the subject area of the program
5-8 invited scientists from the Nordic countries
a limited number of accompanying postdocs and PhD students.

Two principal investigators (PIs) are responsible for coordinating a program.

Nordita is a Nordic research institute, and in order to emphasize the Nordic aspect, programs should be organized jointly by Nordita and a Nordic institute outside Sweden(*). Costs for the participating Nordic institute will be reimbursed by Nordita.

(*) Since the original announcement a joint organization with another Nordic institute is no longer required.
