Programme Concerns

Cooperation with Norwegian entities and international organisations at project level shall be encouraged.

The programme shall include a scholarship component, organised as a small grant scheme. The scholarship component shall support student and staff mobility in higher education and vocational training.

The programme shall support, inter alia: Pilots and models for developing systematic solutions in enhancing competences of teachers, professors and other academic staff; Improved cooperation of stakeholders on local, regional and national level; Measures for easing the transition of pupils from schools to the labour market; Measures to improve work-life balance, with an emphasis on women’s economic empowerment.

Bilateral Ambitions

€50,000 shall be allocated to the programme from the fund for bilateral relations. This does not prevent the Joint Committee for Bilateral Funds from allocating additional funds to the programme.
