Apply for work exchange phase 1: Concept development

About phase 1

Phase 1 is the first step in a work exchange through Norec.

Applicants must apply together as a partnership and submit a description of their project idea to Norec.

If the application is approved, the partnership receives funding to meet in person and further develop the idea.

Norec provides guidance and training on how to work effectively with an international partner and how to plan a successful exchange project.

After completing Phase 1, the partnership can apply for Phase 2.
