The Norwegian Programme for Research Cooperation with India (INDNOR) has been established to promote collaboration on research and research funding between India and Norway. The Programme is part of the effort to enhance the internationalisation of Norwegian research. Activities in specified thematic priority areas under the programme will be carried out in cooperation with the relevant thematic research programmes of the Research Council of Norway. At start-up, the INDNOR programme encompasses the following thematic priority areas as set out in the Norwegian Government’s India strategy: International political issues, climate, the environment, clean energy and social development.
The INDNOR programme has been established to promote research cooperation with India and provide a cohesive framework for research initiatives targeting India. The programme will enable the Research Council to negotiate joint financing of Indo-Norwegian research cooperation with the Indian authorities. It will facilitate the integration of Indo-Norwegian research cooperation in the Research Council’s programmes and activities and enhance research collaboration.
Importance will be attached to following up the The Norwegian Governments Strategy for Cooperation between Norway and India, Opportunities in Diversity, White Paper No. 30 (2008-2009) to the Storting, Climate for Research, and the Research Council’s overall strategy, In the Vanguard of Research. The programme is funded from The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The INDNOR programme is targeted toward R&D institutions as well as trade and industry, and depending on the thematic area or scientific field, funding may include activities ranging from basic research to industry-oriented research and innovation.
2010 - 2019
INDNOR has a budget of NOK 100 million in total for the period 2010-2014, with a possible extension of the programme for five more years.
