Grants framework
The research projects must be in line with the scope and objectives of the Norwegian Institute in Rome, and be relevant to Rome or the Mediterranean. Applicants must be from Norwegian higher education institutions, priority will be given to applicants from collaborating institutions.
The support is intended to cover expenses for travel and accommodation in Rome. The size of the grant depends on the project and the duration of the stay. The research stay must be for a minimum of four weeks. We encourage climate friendly travel, and will provide additional funding for those wishing to travel by train. Research stays in the more quiet winter months from November - March are welcome.
The maximum grant is NOK 25 000. All expenses must be documented with a report and receipts submitted to the Institute.
Successful applicants will be assigned a work space and may be asked to present their project at the Institute.
