Greater understanding of cultural diversity

A new call for cultural diversity and exchange project proposals has been launched in Spain. The aim is to increase cultural dialogue and promote understanding of cultural diversity. The progamme also supports Spain’s cultural sector which has been badly hit by the current economic crisis.

Cooperation in education and research

The Icelandic Centre for Research (Rannis) is a donor programme partner in scholarship programmes in nine beneficiary countries and in one research programme. “Cooperation is the key concept,” says Viðar Helgason, explaining the organisation’s role in fostering partnerships and innovation.
