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 organizations. Calls from Nordisk Kulturfond and NordForsk can also be found here. Calls can be sorted by topic, country, time and organization. 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-buidling and research-related. Find calls and information here.
Nordforsk
NordForsk seeks to enhance the quality, impact and efficiency of Nordic research cooperation. Calls are thematically diverse. Take note of NOS-HS, NOS-M and NOS-N – the Nordic research councils’ joint committees for Humanities & Social Sciences (NOS-HS), Medical science (NOS-M) and Natural Science (NOS-N).

Norwegian Arts Council
The main governmental operator for the implementation of Norwegian cultural policy. Fully financed by the Ministry of Culture. Publishes calls at different intervals. Projects are typically small in terms of budget and have relatively short timespans. Find calls.
DIKU - formerly SIU
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 is relevant for those at RITMO engaged in teaching activities. Find calls here.
COST Networking
The European COST organization 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. Your research adviser will notify you each year when new Actions are available for joining. Norway’s contact person for COST can help you get started: RCN’s Trude Dypvik tdy@forskningsradet.no.
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 - small funding
In addition to the large, annual calls described above, the RCN published several smaller calls for proposals throughout the year. This 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.
