I have research in progress that I want to use for the purpose of PhD study about how to implement data mining on providing data for cultural education. But I have a problem getting contact with any supervisors or universities in that area of research and also to get PHD scholarship for my research.
I think that the situation in Denmark and Norway is similar to the one in Sweden - you have to look for positions/jobs announced on the university websites, see sections 'about us'/'job positions'. In Denmark and Norway you have to gather credits for courses in relation to your program but your personal research is a central part of your degree (as a comparison, you have to enroll in more courses in Sweden and Finland). In Finland, however, a PhD may be announced as a job but the status is the one of a student (I believe so).
In all the countries you are interested in, finding a position directly through the university is just one way of getting funding. You should check their governmental and regional programs and other paths such as being a guest scholar.
Here are some key sites:
Sweden http://studyinsweden.se/how-to-apply/phd-level-how-to-apply/
Denmark http://studyindenmark.dk/study-options/find-your-international-study-programme-1/phd-positions-1
Norway http://www.studyinnorway.no/What-can-I-study/Ph.D.-Programmes
Finland http://www.studyinfinland.fi/how_to_apply/admissions/doctoral_admissions
While you can find general info and positions on the sites " Study in...'' (e.g. http://www.studyinholland.nl/education-system/degrees/phd) - in most cases they are governed by State education agencies, you have to check jobs through the pages of the universities in case they are not announced on the general site, in other words make a list of the unis you are interested in and check them on a regular basis.
The situation in the Netherlands is similar to the one in Scandinavia. I believe that their system is a mix between the British and Scandinavian ones. In respect to the PhD jobs, I have seen some positions where the research question is open, i.e. you have to present your plan and speak with a potential supervisor to make sure there is a match. Here is the site where most positions are announced https://www.academictransfer.com/advanced_search/
In Germany there are structured and non-structured PhD positions. In the first case, you have to study certain subjects, in the second one, the focus is on the research part. Here is a link with more info - https://www.daad.de/deutschland/promotion/en/
and positions https://www.daad.de/deutschland/promotion/doktoranden/en/14871-funding-opportunities/
