Summary

NORA (Nordic Atlantic Cooperation) operates under the Nordic Council of Ministers and offers chairmanship grants for dissemination and project development. These supplementary grants, available outside of regular funding rounds, support three types of activities: building networks and partnerships ahead of a formal NORA funding application, funding time-sensitive pre-application activities (e.g., due to seasonal or biological constraints), and disseminating results of completed NORA-funded projects through films, conferences, open-access publications, and other formats. The grants are capped at DKK 60,000 (approx. EUR 8,000) per project, with a total annual budget of DKK 240,000. There is no fixed application deadline — applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and NORA aims to respond within 14 days. Applicants must contact the NORA secretariat directly to request an application form. NORA's geographic focus is the Nordic Atlantic region, including the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, and coastal Norway. The organization's broader thematic priorities include sustainable development, blue economy, ocean resources, regional innovation, and tourism. This particular grant mechanism is a small, flexible funding instrument designed to complement NORA's larger project grants.

Historical Context

This is a standing grant mechanism operated alongside NORA's regular funding rounds, authorized by NORA's bylaws. The annual cap of DKK 240,000 suggests a modest, ongoing program.
