Norway Grants

The Norway Grants and the EEA Grants represent Norway’s contribution towards a green, competitive, and inclusive Europe.

Through the Norway Grants and the EEA Grants, Norway contributes to reducing social and economic disparities and to strengthening bilateral relations with beneficiary countries in Central and Southern Europe and the Baltics. Norway cooperates closely with the EU through the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Together with the other donors, Norway has provided €3.3 billion through consecutive grant schemes between 1994 and 2014. Norway Grants are financed solely by Norway and are available in the countries that joined the EU after 2003. For the period 2014-2021, the Norway Grants amount to €1.25 billion. The priorities for this period are:

• #1 Innovation, Research, Education, Competitiveness and Decent Work
• #2 Social Inclusion, Youth Employment and Poverty Reduction
• #3 Environment, Energy, Climate Change and Low Carbon Economy
• #4Culture, Civil Society, Good Governance and Fundamental Rights
• #5 Justice and Home Affairs

All projects are co-financed in the amount of 15% from the state budget of the Slovak Republic. If you want to know more about programmes and projects financed by the Norway Grants in Slovakia, visit www.norwaygrants.sk.
