Summary
NORA (Nordic Atlantic Cooperation) is an intergovernmental organization under the Nordic Council of Ministers that provides grant funding to collaborative projects in the North Atlantic region. Projects must involve partners from at least two of NORA's four constituent territories: the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, and coastal Norway. International partners, particularly from Canada and Scotland, are also welcomed. The program funds projects lasting one to three years, with a maximum of 500,000 DKK per year (approximately €67,000) and up to 1.5 million DKK total over the full project period. Eligible applicants include companies, public institutions, and individuals. Projects must align with NORA's Strategic Programme 2025-2028, which focuses on creating a strong and dynamic North Atlantic region with healthy, sustainable economies and strengthened private sector cooperation. NORA does not generally fund pure research projects or cultural projects, directing such applicants instead to Nordforsk and the Nordic Culture Fund respectively. The program operates with regular application deadlines, with the next deadline set for October 4, 2026. The organization also engages in agenda-setting activities and alliance-building across the region, including conferences on topics such as regenerative tourism and ocean opportunities.
Historical Context
NORA has been operating under the Nordic Council of Ministers since 1996. The current strategic programme covers 2025-2028, with annual action plans. The program runs two funding rounds per year.
