NMA is a research school that was established in 2005 with support from the Nordic Research Board (NordForsk) and the Nordic Working Group on Fisheries Research (NAF). It contributes to the training of PhD students and young researchers throughout the Nordic and neighbouring countries by organising Advanced Courses, Workshops and Seminars, and by offering Mobility Grants.

NMA covers all aspects of marine research with a particular emphasis on the exploitation, utilization and management of marine living resources and the impacts of human activities on marine ecosystems.
All institutions involved in marine, fisheries and aquaculture research in the Nordic and neighbouring countries are invited to join the Nordic Marine Academy. Learn more.
Its objectives are to strengthen intra-Nordic research co-operation, expertise and innovation in marine sciences, and to enhance research training and mobility of researchers and research students.
NMA was launched as the start of combined efforts to enhance the scientific quality and international visibility of Nordic research training within this field. It will run during the period 2005-2010 with a total annual funding from NAF and NordForsk of up to 2 million NOK. This funding is intended to cover costs for activity in this area (Advanced Courses, Workshops and Seminars, and Mobility Grants) and thus supplement national funding for research training and research.
