The Nordic Council of Ministers’ Fisheries Cooperation invites applications for projects on fisheries and aquaculture within the themes:

• Coexistence and spatial planning
• Ecosystem-based marine management and stock recovery

The Nordic Council of Ministers’ Fisheries Cooperation works to promote greener, more competitive and more resilient fisheries and aquaculture in the Nordic region. We invite proposals for Nordic cooperation projects that concern the Nordic region, and they may also be in collaboration with partners outside the Nordic region.

We invite management and research-based projects that contribute to knowledge building, knowledge dissemination or network creation with significant Nordic benefit and with an ambitious communication strategy.

The total budget for the 2026 call is 5,747 million DKK.

There are 2.9 million DKK available for this first round of the call in March 2026. The second round will be announced in April 2026 and has a deadline in October 2026.

The application deadline is February 9, 2026.
