Summary
NORA (Nordic Atlantic Cooperation) is a regional cooperation body under the Nordic Council of Ministers, based in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands. It provides project funding for initiatives spanning the North Atlantic region — specifically the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, and coastal Norway. The funding supports collaborative projects that address priority areas including resource security, artificial intelligence, regenerative tourism, liveable communities, mobility and green transition, marine industries, and the silver economy. Projects must involve partners from at least two of the four NORA constituent regions and relate to one or more UN Sustainable Development Goals. NORA funds up to 50% of total project costs, with a maximum of 500,000 DKK per year and 1.5 million DKK over a three-year project period. Research-only and culture-only projects are excluded, as these are handled by Nordforsk and the Nordic Culture Fund respectively. NORA operates two annual funding rounds, with deadlines in early March and early October. The next deadline is October 4, 2026. Applications are submitted through the online platform at umsokn.com. Companies, public institutions, and individuals from the NORA area are eligible to apply. Active funded projects span sectors including marine industries, sustainable tourism, energy, agriculture, and digital innovation.
