Polish-Norwegian research teams will receive over PLN 156 million as part of the GRIEG competition provided by the National Science Center (NCN).

The scientists submitted 305 applications for the total amount of over PLN 1.6 billion, of which 28 projects were selected for funding: 12 in exact and technical sciences and 8 in life sciences, humanities, social sciences and art.

GRIEG is a competition for research projects implemented jointly by research teams from Poland and Norway. The scientific teams must consist of at least one Polish partner, acting as the leader of the partnership, and at least one Norwegian partner. The partnership may include research institutions, entrepreneurs and NGOs. Projects that will be implemented in the GRIEG competition may last 24 or 36 months.

GRIEG is one of three competitions financed under the 3rd ‘Research’ program of the Norwegian and EEA Funds for the years 2014–2021, in which NCN acts as the operator responsible for basic research.
