  2. THE Research Council of Norway

  3. The Research Council of NorwayRoles • Adviser to the government • Research funding • Support basic research • Implement national thematic priorities • Support private R&D • Networking and dissemination • Internationalization

  4. The Research Council canalises nearly 30 % of public funding of Norwegian R&D Universities Public funding Ministry of Education and Research Institutes The Research Council Other ministries i.e. Industry

  5. Several funding schemes Centers of Excellence Basic researchprogrammes National prioritiesLarge-scale programmes Innovation Basic research Tax deduction scheme Infrastructur

  6. Norwegian Research policy and priorities

  7. National priorities in research policies2008 White Paper Global challenges Welfare and science- based professions Business relevant research in strategic fields Improve health and health services Knowledge based business development in the regions A functioning research system High quality in the research Internationalisation of the research Efficient utilisation of results and resources

  8. National priorities2008 White Paper • global challenges • environment, • climate change • oceans, • food safety • energy • research • industry oriented research: • food, marine, maritime, tourism, • energy, environment, • biotechnology, ICT • new materials/nanotechnology
