Summary
NORA (Nordic Atlantic Cooperation) is an intergovernmental organization operating under the Nordic Council of Ministers that funds collaborative projects across the North Atlantic region. The organization connects four constituent areas — the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, and coastal Norway — with the aim of making the North Atlantic a strong and dynamic part of the Nordic region. NORA administers two annual funding rounds for project grants, plus smaller "chairmanship grants" for dissemination and project development. Projects must involve partners from at least two of the four constituent areas. Maximum funding is DKK 500,000 per year or DKK 1.5 million total for three-year projects. NORA funds a wide range of thematic areas including maritime and fisheries, energy, tourism, agriculture, innovation, and digital development. Companies, public institutions, and individuals are eligible to apply. Partners from Canada and Scotland may also participate. NORA does not typically fund pure research projects or cultural initiatives. In addition to the main project grants, NORA offers chairmanship grants of up to DKK 60,000 per project (max DKK 240,000/year total) for network building, time-sensitive activities, and dissemination of completed project results. These have no fixed deadline and are processed within 14 days. The next main application deadline is October 4, 2026.
