We have invited the Polish research councils to come to Lysaker to share information and answer questions about the two largest calls for research collaboration from the EEA and Norway Grants. Both the call for basic research (EUR 50 million) and applied research and innovation (EUR 70 million) will open in Poland in June. The Research Council wants to contribute to that Norwegian partners can prepare and use this opportunity. This is a hybrid event.
The SCAR Open Science Conferences are the world's premier Antarctic science meetings and are held every two years to draw attention to Antarctic issues. The Norwegian Polar Institute is hosting this years conference in Oslo, with the Research Council of Norway contributing in the Local Organising Committee (LOC). Registration is now open with early bird deadline 15 May 2026.
This course helps you understand the key success features of EU research and innovation projects (Horizon Europe), which preparatory steps to take, and explains the tasks and responsibilities of the partners. The course also covers how to build a winning consortium, the steps in proposal writing and how to smoothly lead a proposal to submission. At the end of the course there will be a practical exercise.
This webinar is only open to researchers and EU advisors at Norwegian institutions. It is reserved for those who submit an application to the Starting Grant deadline in October 2026. ERC Starting Grants are aimed at researchers with up to ten years’ experience after PhD. This is a change from previous years when Starting grants were aimed at researchers 2-7 years after PhD.
This online course will introduce the essentials of lumps sum funding and dig into the practicalities of writing proposals and managing a lump sum project.
The webinar will answer and discuss with the participants how to find the key actors in a specific field? Which websites or portals to check if you want to find information on Horizon Europe, scientific achievements or key results? How can you identify and join a consortium that is preparing a proposal? How can you make yourself more visible for European researchers and key organisations?
Horizontal aspects are receiving a high attention also by the evaluators and when you report on these to the European Commission. The course covers proposal writing as well as project management aspects on dissemination, communication, and exploitation. What are the requirements? How detailed you have to be? Who should monitor what? How to develop the strategy on DEC? All these and more will be discussed.
This advanced course provides in-depth knowledge on the financial rules of Horizon Europe for financial managers and accountants. The course will introduce all cost types and their eligibility rules and the exceptions.
This is a 2-day practice-heavy, hands-on course that will assist you in gaining a comprehensive understanding of project management, reporting procedures and their practical implications in everyday operations.
This cluster-specific call-analysis webinar will help deciphering the call text and making the concept of the proposal fully in line with the work programme topic as well as the Commission’s expectations. The workshop will show how to look for previously funded projects in the topic, how to find key players and other stakeholders in the field, what are the usual methods in successful proposals, how to address cross-cutting issues.
This course will introduce the life-cycle of a collaborative R&I project in Horizon Europe. It will cover the project launch, essentials of reporting and other management duties during the project period. You will be introduced to the Funding and Tenders Portal, and receive valuable tips for successful communication, dissemination, exploitation, open science and research data management actions during the lifetime of your project. The course also includes a practical exercise on project management, where we will discuss how to handle difficult situations that can occur during a project.
This webinar will introduce the formal agreements related to Horizon Europe projects. The trainer will introduce the basic legal obligations coming from the grant agreement as well as the consortium agreement. The webinar will introduce the tasks of a coordinator when drafting these agreements as well as cover the partner’s role and what not to forget to read, review in these agreements. The webinar will cover also the lump sum grants.
The launch of the project can be very difficult for new coordinators. This webinar will go through all key steps of setting up a project. It will introduce excel and word templates that coordinators can easily adapt to their projects. While primarily meant for coordinators, any beneficiary can benefit from the knowledge shared.
Everyone heard about co-creation, multi-actor approach, engagement of value-chain actors, etc. The common point is that we need to openly collaborate with the key stakeholders and co-create the innovative solutions with them. Who to involve, engage, activate and how is a different matter. This short webinar will focus on how to describe open innovation and social innovation aspects in the proposal (section 1.2) and how to realise successfully these engagements when the project is implemented.
This course provides a detailed explanation of the general financial rules of Horizon Europe. We will explain the difference between budgeting and actual cost reporting, and their everyday impacts on managerial and accounting practices, diving into the rules of eligibility and what makes a cost direct.
Horizon Europe offers many funding schemes open to companies of all sizes. But how should a company approach Horizon Europe? What should you pay attention to, and which requirements need to be considered before accepting an invitation to join a project?
You will learn all about the features of winning Horizon Europe proposals and the success criteria to receive high scores and positive comments during evaluation.
This webinar will help understand the ethics (AI-H-A-PODP, NEC, etc) and security aspects that you should analyse and consider during proposal writing and project implementation.
The course gives an introduction to Horizon Europe, the European Union's R&I Framework Programme. The programme distributes EUR 95.5 billion funding for research and innovation projects over seven years. Norwegian organisations can apply to all pillars.
You will become an EC auditor for a day! Many are intimidated by financial audits, particularly level-2 audits conducted by EC (or EC-appointed external) auditors. Did you know that one way to overcome this fear is to try to see things from the "other" side?
This course gives insight to the formal agreements related to Horizon Europe projects.
