Almost 2400 projects applied. According to the Research Council of Norway, funds go to researchers in all career stages, and will contribute to research innovation in all disciplines and thematic areas.
BI Faculty will lead the following projects:
- Professor Jon H. Fiva leads the project "The dynamics of political selection”, which receives NOK 12 million.
- Professor Hilde Christiane Bjørnland leads the project “The Corona-crisis, structural change, and macroeconomic policy”, which receives NOK 12 million.
- The corona pandemic, the climate crisis and the green transition show how important cutting edge research is for society. These funds strengthen the quality of Norwegian research and can give us the knowledge we need to make it through the crises, create new businesses and jobs and increase employment, says Minister of Research and Higher Education Henrik Asheim.
Through the Research Council of Norway, the Government also invests in research projects to solve societal challenges.
