For Universities and Research institutions

Applying for funding from the EEA Grants fund is always the responsibility of universities and research institutions in the beneficiary states. Those at the University of Iceland with an interest in collaborating with, for example, a university in one of the beneficiary states, should contact the university in question about a possible collaboration and must be included in the application process in order to benefit from the cooperation.

Such collaborations can be in the form of:

  • joint research
  • student exchange
  • teacher exchange
  • conferences and more

Beneficiary states are countries, that joined the European Union in 2004. These are Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungry, Cyprus, and Malta, plus, Romania and Bulgaria, which joined the European Union in 2007 as well as Portugal, Spain, and Greece.

The Icelandic Centre for Research, RANNÍS, is in an advisory role for the EEA/Norway Grants fund.
