Apply for funding
Find out about the funding you and your organisation or company can apply for. Some of the funding we announce is in collaboration with other actors that provide public funding for research. Funding is also available through various international networks, such as Horizon Europe.
Who can apply for funding from the Research Council and what topics do we support?
Municipalities, county authorities and other entities in the public sector can apply for funding from us to build knowledge and promote research-based innovation in the public sector.
Use research as your competitive advantage. Do you work in a company with plans to develop a new or improved product, service or production process? We might have the right funding scemes for you.
Research organisations are a key target group for our funding schemes. We offer various calls for proposals that contribute to building outstanding research communities.
Our funding schemes
The Research Council allocates NOK 11 billion annually for research and innovation. We have some set application deadlines each year as well as a number of funding schemes with open-ended deadlines. You compete with other organisations for funding.
