Project funding from the North Atlantic Co-operation (NORA)
NORA provides financial grants in support of collaborative projects involving partners from at least two of the four NORA countries (Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland and Coastal Norway). NORA will contribute to strengthening collaboration within the region in order to make the North Atlantic a powerful Nordic region, characterized by strong, sustainable economic development. This happens by strengthening collaboration among the business community, the research organisations and the development agencies throughout the region.
Companies, government agencies, private individuals, etc. can seek funding for a project. It is possible to apply for funding for specific projects, for the establishment of a group network, or for pre-projects, as a precursor to a larger project.
NORA welcomes applications within the following priority sectors:
- Marine resources
- Information and Communications Technology
- Tourism
- Transport
- Other Regional Co-operation
NORA also welcomes applications that are based on the themes prioritized in NORA’s Annual Action Plan.
Projects that involve partners from the North Atlantic Region’s western neighbours, primarily Canada and the Scottish islands, are desirable. Partners from these countries cannot receive support from NORA, however.
NORA funds a maximum of:
- 50% of the total project budget
- 500,000 DKK per year for a maximum of three years
NORA has two annual application rounds. The first is announced in mid-January with a deadline in early March, while the second round is usually announced in mid-August with a deadline in early October.
Available in the following countries:
Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Norway
