Strategy for Norway’s Scientific and Technological Cooperation with North America
Norway needs to maintain excellent connections to the leading region in science and technologyIt is an instrument for reaching main goals in Norwegian R&D policy
High quality research, both basic and applied
Improve abilities to enhance R&D-related industrial innovation

Follow-up of the Strategy – measures taken by the Research Council
Pilot Projects supportThe Leiv Eiriksson Mobility Program“Bridgeheads” for institutional cooperationJoint projects within prioritized fields of research

Pilot Projects: - met with strong interest in 2005
Norwegian institutions apply for “seed money” to create new contacts and new research collaboration
Humanities/Social sciences
Science and EngineeringMedicine and
health
Agriculture (separate funding)

The Leiv Eiriksson Mobility Program 2005
Visiting scholar fellowships both ways 39 projects granted (1 mill. USD)25 per cent of the mobility scholarships allocated to visiting researchers

Bridgeheads for institutional R&D-collaboration:
Models should be based on reciprocity between institutions flexible and, to a large extent, comply with the
needs of different institutions involve researchers from several institutions create national teams – “Team Norway”
“Chair” established at University of Minnesota – with the purpose of creating “dream teams” and increased exchange

Next step: Better funding mechanisms for joint projects
Support joint research projects within prioritized research domains through our strategic programsEncourage collaborative, “transatlantic” research Select projects through ordinary procedures

Science is international A great potential for increased cooperationA lot is going on, more can be achieved
National agencies must improve co-funding abilities
The “North American Strategy” expresses a strong commitment
