Research funding for research organisations
Research organisations are a key target group for our funding schemes. We offer various calls for proposals that contribute to building outstanding research communities.
Who can apply?
If you are a researcher and you wish to apply for funding from the Research Council, you may do so in agreement with your research organisation. If you receive funding it is the organisation who is the Project Owner.
The Research Council has six formal deadlines a year. We also have a number of calls with open-ended application assessment without deadlines.

The ice is melting faster, what is happening now in Antarctica?
The rapid melting of ice in Antarctica is causing sea levels to rise globally, which in turn affects almost the entire world's population living along the coast. New observations and sea ice shelf models from Norwegian scientists provide us with better information about the melting of the ice, so that we can prepare for climate change.
