Nordic Cooperation Funding
The Nordic Council of Ministers and the Nordic Council hosts a webpage where you can find all kinds of calls from the Nordic countries. Calls are thematically diverse, and funded by many different organisations. Calls from Nordisk Kulturfond and NordForsk can also be found here. Calls can be sorted by topic, country, time and organisation.
Find all Nordic Cooperation Calls here.
The Nordic Culture Fund / Nordisk Kulturfond
The Nordic Culture Fund supports innovative and dynamic artistic and cultural life in the Nordic Region. Many calls are directed mainly at artists, but some are knowledge-building and research-related.

DIKU is Norway’s official agency for international programmes and measures related to education. Funding for knowledge-exchange programmes, Centres for Excellent Education, etc. This may relevant for those at IMV engaged in teaching activities.
COST Actions Networking
The European COST organisation funds networks with specific purposes and themes, called Actions. You may apply to create or join an Action, which will then fund your travels to/from network meetings. Norway’s contact person for COST, RCN’s Trude Dypvik, can help you get started: tdy@forskningsradet.no
Learn about joining an existing COST Action here, or propose a new one here.
Research Council Event Support
The RCN publishes a call for event support at the start of every year, which runs until all available funds are allocated. Events are typically conferences, workshops and seminars. Funding is available for both physical and virtual events, and they may take place in Norway or abroad. The amount available depends on which thematic area you apply to. You will find the call under Coordination and Support Activity.
Research Council (additional minor funding)
In addition to the large, annual calls described above, the RCN publishes several smaller calls for proposals throughout the year. These can be both Norwegian calls and collaborative calls with the research councils of other countries. Some calls are aimed at increasing Norwegian participation in EU projects. See a short description of the RCN call types and international call types, and search for relevant calls in the List of calls for proposals.
