Danish term or phrase: temaindkaldelse
I'm working on a translation regarding a project to disseminate the use of blockchains among different industry sectors and businesses. The Danish Industry Foundation has issued what in academia I would designate a "call" as in a "call for papers". But in this case, it wouldn't be a call for papers, because I don't think it's for a conference. I think it's for submission of a project proposal. Perhaps just a "call"? "Theme call" sounds odd to me and I can't really find any use of that term on the internet, but it's literally correct. Can anything think of a similar expressed that is used in English in the business world? Here is an example of the term in context:

"Derfor har Industriens Fond iværksat en temaindkaldelse om netop dette. I en ny Podcast fra Block21 afmystificerer Industriens Fond emnet Blockchain samt forklarer tankerne bag og formålet med temaindkaldelsen."

thamatic call for proposals


Explanation:
Although the Danish text does not specifically state that this is a call for proposals, I agree with Andrew that this is most probably what is required. The proposals being called for should be linked to a specific theme, thus they are thematic. The term 'thematic call for proposals' is not uncommon - Google shows 2,390 hits.

that should, of course, be 'thematic call for proposals' - my apologies for the type.

not 'type' .. 'typo' (It's really going well for me today ... :-( )

Example sentence(s):
  • Thematic Call for Proposals on Advanced Manufacturing for Joint R&D EUREKA Network Projects
  • thematic call for proposals for research projects and networks on information technology

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for your contribution. I certainly agree with the logic that proposals on a specific theme would be thematic, but this also sounded a bit odd to my ears. I carried out a Google search on "thematic call for proposals" as well. However, when I scanned through the top hits, they were all non-Anglophone websites that happened to have an English translation, which led me to lean towards the omission of 'thematic' and let the title of the project proposal in the following sentence explicitly identify what the theme would be.
