The Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the Economic and Social Research Council, the Medical Research Council and the Natural Environment Research Council, in collaboration with the Research Council of Norway invites applications for the call to collaborate with researchers in Norway. This enables eligible UK principal investigators to submit collaborative applications with co-investigators employed by Norwegian institutions. General conditions and budget available will differ depending on the funding opportunity to which an application is being submitted. UKRI covers the following costs of Norway co-investigators involved in project applications led by UK principal investigators, according to its applicable regulations: directly incurred costs; research assistants based in Norway; salary costs; infrastructure and facilities.

Any within the EPSRC remit

Applicants must be an eligible principal investigator employed by a UK research organisation eligible to receive funding from the participating research councils. Depending on the UKRI research council, institutions eligible to receive UKRI funding may include institutions currently located outside the UK. A Norway co-investigator is an individual employed by a research organisation in Norway. They must fit the normal definition of a co-investigator on a research project, assisting the grant holder in the management and leadership of the project. The co-investigator is usually expected to make a major intellectual contribution to the design and conduct of the project. The international research organisation must be of comparable status and standing to a UKRI-recognised UK institution.
