UPDATED August 2016

Overarching science strategies, plans and policies

  • National Whitepaper: “Climate for research” describes the overall Norwegian government’s research strategy.[1]
  • National Whitepaper: “Marine Bioprospecting- a source of new and sustainable wealth growth” describes the Norwegian government’s strategy for marine bioprospecting.[2]
  • National Whitepaper: “National strategy for biotechnology” describes the Norwegian government’s strategy on biotechnology.[3]
  • National White paper: “Strategy for an Environmentally Sustainable Norwegian Aquaculture Industry” describes the Norwegian government’s strategy on aquaculture.[4]
  • National White paper: “Nordområdestrategien” describes the Norwegian government’s strategy for research in the high north.[5]
  • National Whitepaper: "Long-term plan for research and higher education 2015–2024" describes the government's focus for 10 years.[6]

Research funding schemes and programmes

The Research Council of Norway (RCN) funds research projects, innovation projects, industrial projects and infrastructure. Relevant research programmes includes:

  • BIOTEK2021: A research financing program that finance applied academic research and industrial development of biotechnology.[7]
  • Aquaculture- An industry in growth: A research financing program that finance applied academic research and industrial development on aquaculture and fisheries.[8]
  • The ocean and the coast: A research financing program that finance academic research and industrial development on eco systems and the marine environment.[9]
  • Sustainable Innovation in Food and Bio-based Industries: A research financing program that finance applied academic research and industrial development of bio-based industries.[10]
  • Polar research: A research financing program that finance research on sustainable management and development of industries in the high north.[11]
  • Pre-industrial support: A funding program focused on technology transfer from academia to industry.[12]
  • Industrial support: A funding program supporting industrial developments.[13]

Innovation Norway funds innovation projects with industry and infrastructure. Relevant programmes include:

  • Public R&D contracts and Private R&D contracts, where SMBs can be funded with up to 35% in a collaboration project with either a public or private customer.[14]
  • Entrepreneurial grant, where start-ups can be funded in an initial period of the company.[15]

SIVA funds infrastructures, such as laboratories and necessary housing for innovation centres.[16]

Regional research foundations funds research projects, innovation projects, industrial projects and infrastructure.[17]

A collaboration effort exists between Innovation Norway, The research council of Norway, SIVA and equivalent research councils in the United Kingdom to fund innovation and applied research in marine biotechnology.[18]
