Together with Nordland County Council and NORA (Nordic Atlantic Cooperation), the Norwegian Barents Secretariat is organising the session "Ask me anything - How to get funding in the north." The aim is to simplify access to funding for projects in northern regions and to encourage collaboration across national borders.

The event will take place in Bodø from 10:30 to 11:30 At Radisson Blu (Main Conference Hall).

Strengthening Cooperation in the North

The High North is undergoing rapid change, and cross-border cooperation is becoming increasingly important for sustainable development, innovation and community resilience. At the same time, navigating the landscape of international funding programmes can be challenging for organisations, municipalities, researchers, and businesses who wish to collaborate across Nordic and Arctic border

The funding instruments

This side event brings together five funding instruments with long-standing relevance for the northern regions:

• The Norwegian Barents Secretariat:
• NORA – Nordic Atlantic Cooperation
• Nordic Council of Ministers/Nordisk ministerråd (Nordisk samarbeid)
• Interreg Aurora
• Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic (NPA)
