The new portfolio board has decided on calls for proposals of NOK 495 million in 2026. The first round of funding is already available through the Industrial PhD and Public Sector PhD schemes.
27 May is the new deadline for calls for proposals that originally had a deadline of 22 April, and for several others that originally had a deadline of 20 May.
