Summary
NORA (Nordic Atlantic Cooperation) is an intergovernmental organisation under the Nordic Council of Ministers that unites Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and coastal Norway. It provides project funding for collaborative initiatives involving partners from at least two of these four regions, with the goal of creating a strong and dynamic North Atlantic region characterized by robust sustainable economies. NORA funds one-year and multi-year projects (up to three years) with a maximum of 500,000 DKK per year, totaling up to 1.5 million DKK for multi-year projects. Eligible applicants include companies, public institutions, and individuals. Projects must align with the NORA Strategy Program 2025-2028, which prioritizes areas such as sustainable development, blue economy and maritime initiatives, energy resilience, youth engagement, Arctic innovation, and local community development. NORA does not typically fund pure research or cultural projects, directing those applicants to Nordforsk and the Nordic Culture Fund respectively. The organisation also encourages collaboration with Western neighbours, particularly Canada and Scotland. Beyond project funding, NORA offers support for dissemination and project development through separate mechanisms. Applications are submitted via a digital application form, and the next deadline is October 4, 2026.
Historical Context
NORA operates under the Nordic Council of Ministers. As of March 2026, NORA received 22 project applications in the latest round, indicating active and ongoing engagement. The current Strategy Program covers 2025-2028. Application rounds appear to be annual with fixed deadlines.
