Allocation of dissemination grants
The Joint Committee (JC), which is the steering committee of the Programme of research Co-operation between South-Africa and Norway, met 8 March in Oslo to decide on the allocation of research grants to proposals received by September 2nd this year.
The Joint Committee decided to allocate a total of NOK 2.144 million for dissemination purposes for existing projects. The grants will be integrated in to the main research projects, so that the project numbers below will only be temporary. Please note that in some cases allocations have been made contingent on the fulfilment of certain conditions that will be communicated directly to the principal investigators. Furthermore, certain projects have been awarded grants that differ from the amount applied for.
The following projects were allocated grants, some subject to submission of additional documentation.
