Financial Support

Students and postdocs from Nordic and Baltic countries can apply for financial support covering accomodation and/or travel expenses. A short motivational paragraph is requested in the registration form (max 100 words). 

Application

The school is primarily intended for PhD students and young postdocs. Advanced master students may also apply. In order to apply to the Nordita winter school, please fill out the application form (PhD and master students need to state the supervisor's name). Show that you are eligible to the school by providing keywords that describe your research interests (and optionally adding references to relevant papers).

Note that the registration deadline is November 1, 2023. We will inform you about the outcome of your application before the end of November.

Invited speakers should also fill out the registration form, but only the indicated sections.
