Nordic Centres of Excellence
The Nordic Centres of Excellence (NCoE) are designed to raise the standard, quality, effectiveness and visibility of Nordic research. The units are selected for five-year periods on the basis of open competition. The most important selection criterion is excellent scientific quality internationally. The programmes are funded by the Nordic Research Councils, the Nordic Council of Ministers and NordForsk. This Nordic support supplements the basic funding of the NCoEs, which comes from national sources, among them the Academy of Finland.
