Decision process

After the National Agencies have double-checked that there are no same applicants to the Nordic institutions, the National Agency can make the funding decision on inbound scholarships.

March 20: Kingdom of Denmark National Agency makes the funding decision and divides/distributes the funding in a lump sum and waivers among Kingdom of Denmark institutions.

March 30: Deadline for Kingdom of Denmark north2north institutional contacts to inform their outbound students on the scholarship results and the next steps. They will also contact the pre-selected inbound students and their home institutions about results with instructions on how to apply using the institution's own application system.

The Kingdom of Denmark institutions need to invoice the funding from the National Agency for Kingdom of Denmark. north2north contacts are responsible for transferring the funds to the selected inbound and outbound students. When intra-Kingdom of Denmark mobility is in question, the home institution transfer the funds.
