EU Research

New European Bauhaus (NEB) er eit kreativt og tverrfagleg initiativ frå EU som finansierer prosjekt med mål om å skape vakre, berekraftige og inkluderande bumiljø.

Ønskjer du å få meir informasjon om NEB og dei kommande utlysingane i 2026 - 2027? Vi inviterer deg til den opne kafeen vår, der du vil møte dei nasjonale kontaktpersonane for NEB i Forskingsrådet. Det vil bli sett av god tid til spørsmål og dialog.

Norges Forskningsrådet håpar på å treffe forskarar, EU-rådgivarar, offentlege og private aktørar – og alle andre som er interesserte i New European Bauhaus.

Meld deg på her for å delta. 

The webinar will answer and discuss with the participants the following questions and issues regarding international collaborative EU projects in Horizon Europe's Pillar 2:

• How to find the key actors in a specific field? Which websites or portals to check if you want to find information on Horizon Europe, scientific achievements or key results? How can you identify and join a consortium that is preparing a proposal?
• How can you make yourself more visible for European researchers and key organisations?

The webinar is organized by the Research Council of Norway and is held in English. It is free but you have to register here.

Dette kurset bygger på erfaringane til kurshaldarane med EU-prosjekt. Dei vil dele eigne opplevingar og vise korleis Horisont Europa, EUs program for forsking og innovasjon, er bygd opp og kva som er bakgrunnen for programmet. 

Du får oversikt over utlysingane for 2026–2027. Vi forklarer korleis du kan skrive søknad, posisjonere organisasjonen din for deltaking, og byggje gode konsortium (samanslutning av fleire partnarar som deltar i eit prosjekt). 

Kurset gir deg eit innblikk i alle dei ulike delane av Horisont Europa, i tillegg til tilknytte program. Hovudfokuset er på dei store samarbeids- og innovasjonsprosjekta under søyle 2 (søyle 2 omfattar store forskingssamarbeid mellom fleire partnarar). 

Undervisninga skjer på norsk, men alt kursmateriell er på engelsk. 

Kurset blir køyrt i fem bolkar à 1,5 timar i same veke: måndag – fredag kl. 09.00 -10.30

Det er lagt opp i fem delar:  

1. Policy og introduksjon til HE
2. EU Missions (samfunnsoppdrag) og partnarskap
3. Prosjekttypar under Horisont Europa, andre programmet Noreg kan delta i, og korleis byggje nettverk og konsortium
4. Korleis skrive søknad til Horisont Europa? Ein erfaringsbasert gjennomgang av alle delar v søknaden
5. Suksesshistorier og mageplask

Kurset arrangeres av Norges Forskningsrådet og er gratis. For å delta, meld deg på her.

This webinar introduces participants to the art of call text analysis when it comes to international collaborative EU projects in Horizon Europe's Pillar 2. Many elements to be included in the different sections of your Horizon Europe proposal are actually “hidden” in the call text you are targeting. The call text bears essential information that should be considered to ensure compliance with various cross-cutting Horizon Europe priorities and specific EU policies.  

This cluster-specific call-analysis webinar will help deciphering the call text and making the concept of the proposal fully in line with the work programme topic as well as the Commission’s expectations. The trainer selects an open call, a Cluster specific work programme topic and will conduct a call analysis on it, showing step-by-step how to extract elements that can be useful for the proposal: Objectives – Activities – Outputs – Outcomes – Partners/Stakeholders/End-users – Cross-cutting issues. 

The workshop will show how to look for previously funded projects in the topic, how to find key players and other stakeholders in the field, what are the usual methods in successful proposals, how to address cross-cutting issues.

The webinar is organized by the Research Council of Norway and is held in English. It is free but you have to register here.

This online course will introduce the essentials of lumps sum funding and dig into the practicalities of writing proposals and managing a lump sum project when it comes to international collaborative EU projects in Horizon Europe's Pillar 2. The share of lump sum funding in the Horizon Europe 2025-27 Work Programmes and in FP10 will be even higher than before. Lump sum funding was created to make the programme simpler by removing the need to report actual costs and reduce the financial error rate. However, the details are always important and we should understand the specific extra tasks and rules that everyone applying for lump sum funding should be aware of – both when writing a proposal and implementing a project. 

The webinar is organized by the Research Council of Norway and is held in English. It is free but you have to register here.
