The Research Council of Norway – International Partnerships for Excellent Education, Research and Innovation (INTPART)

Norwegian research organisations can apply for funding for partnerships with Brazil, Canada, India, Japan, China, South Africa, South Korea and the USA, to develop outstanding academic environments in Norway through long-term international collaboration, particularly through strong connections between higher education and research cooperation.

Norwegian research organizations can also apply for funding to establish and further develop partnerships with African countries.

Under this call, it will not be possible to enter into agreements with Russian partners.

Furthermore, INTPART will lead to the achievement of the following sub-goals:

• lasting international partnerships that increase the quality of higher education and research in Norway
• good links between higher education and research within the framework of the partnerships
• collaboration with the labour and business sector to increase quality and relevance within the framework of the partnerships, where relevant.
