I just found that one can apply for a grant to stay for free 1-3 months in locations in Norway, Iceland and the Faroe Islands (deadline 1. Dec.24)
It is aimed at digital nomads that can work anywhere, and would like to explore the exotic arctic. Seems like you get free office and accommodation and pay travel and living costs yourself as THS, but added bonus “you’ll be connected with other scholars in your cohort, sharing experiences and building a community.”
As a Norwegian I would absolutely recommend this. It’s part of a programme to make people move permanently to these areas, but there are no obligation to do so at all. You are invited to a free stay and hopefully you’ll spread the word of how nice it is and rise awareness of the opportunities.
Looks fabulous. I would definitely go for this if I had what they’re looking for. Good luck to any of you that does & will be interesting to follow this thread. Well done @Garfield for posting it. Are you going to apply?
It seems you are right. I guess since it was accommodation-based, probably it is fully booked. When I checked it said «The application 2024 is now closed» so one could hope it would re-open - maybe next year.
