The Foundation for Economic education grant round 2020
In the 2020 grant round, the application can be addressed to a pool of special funds. The pooled funds, which complement the focus areas of the Business Education Fund, aim to enhance the realization of the goals set by donors and the effectiveness of targeted support in grant projects. The application can also be addressed to one of the special funds specifically mentioned in the round.
The pooled funds thematically bring together a number of targeted purposes set by donors, typically close to science or industry. In the search criteria for the round, these correspond to the JEL classifications chosen especially for the pools. The application can also be addressed to an individual special fund, where the applicant typically must meet the application criteria set by the donor to define specific target groups. All selections related to special funds are made using the electronic application form. An application can only be submitted to one of the pooled funds or a special fund at a time.
Application round 1.6.─15.8.
International trade is conducted through dynamic networks and flows of people, commodities and information. Trade facilitates the exchange of commodities and practices, involving value chains, global traders and commodities in many different ways. Business approaches, including, for example, emphasis on logistics, trade policy, and commercial shipping, bring new insights and knowledge about the role of global trade in creating economic growth and world trade in goods.
Existing organizations need a responsible, effective, and strong vision of how businesses and organizations are managed locally and internationally. Management skills and standards, knowledge and information exchange, and the reform of business practices in private companies and public entities both maintain and create new economic and social opportunities.
The circular economy and related entrepreneurial ecosystems are a growing sector where economic and ecological values are combined into sustainable business practices. Stakeholders involved in the circular economy provide solutions to resource depletion and environmental pollution. New attitudes and behaviors need new business models and processes as well as new partnerships that create and support a circular economy while being economically viable and competitive.
