Method of selecting projects 

I.  Calls for proposals

Subjects of the calls

1.  Basic research

1)  GRIEG – Polish-Norwegian research projects: a call for research projects implemented jointly by Polish-Norwegian research teams, covers all fields of science (NCN discipline panels), with emphasis on polar research and social sciences research.

2)  IdeaLab – interdisciplinary, ground-breaking research projects: the subject of the call concerns the challenges arising from complex processes that are taking place in our time, such as: globalization, technological changes, climate and environmental changes, demographic changes, significant migration waves, lack of geopolitical stability and many others creating uncertainty (which entails threats, and in some cases opportunities) that European societies have to face.

3)  POLS – research projects implemented by scientists from abroad in Polish research organizations or enterprises: a call supporting mobility, implemented in the form of small grants for scientists from abroad (from around the world) who want to conduct their research in Poland. Arrival of both recognized and promising scientists with at least a doctoral degree will contribute to strengthening the scientific potential of Polish research units.

2.  Applied research

1)  POLNOR 2019

Joint Polish-Norwegian research projects in the following areas:

  • health and social care
  • industry and information technologies
  • energy, transport and climate
  • food and natural resources
  • social and economic development
  • autonomous vehicles

2)  POLNOR CCS 2019

Joint Polish-Norwegian research projects in the field of carbon capture and storage, including:

  • full value chain analysis
  • social sciences related to the implementation of CCS (carbon capture and storage)
  • pilot CO2 storage installations
  • new knowledge facilitating large-scale CO2 storage
  • development of CO2 capture solutions integrated with energy and industrial processes

3)  Idealab – ground-breaking, interdisciplinary research projects

The subject of the call are "Cities for the future: services and solutions"; an innovative way of generating research projects combined with real-time reviews. A key element of this method are interactive and intensive workshops with participation of experts from various disciplines and environments, as well as a team of external experts (mentors and director) and stakeholders, organized to introduce new approaches to research challenges on a given topic.

Schedule of calls for proposals under the EEA and Norway Grants 2014-2021

All calls for proposals have been launched and closed (as of October 2022).
