## Summary

This Research Council of Norway call offers Kr 3,000,000-3,750,000 (roughly €258,000-€322,500) in top-up funding for the eight existing SFI-V centres, aimed at strengthening internationalisation activities and helping partner organisations take up results and increase innovation effect. It is a one-off call open only to the eight SFI-V centres and their consortium partners, not a general-entry grant.

## Who should apply

- Researchers and administrators affiliated with one of the eight existing SFI-V centres
- Norwegian host institutions already part of an SFI-V consortium
- Consortium partners involved in uptake or innovation activities tied to an SFI-V centre
- Projects focused on internationalisation or partner-organisation innovation effect

## Key dates

- Deadline: 1 December 2026
- One-off call, not recurring

## Tips for applicants

- Only the eight named SFI-V centres and their partners are eligible, this is not an open call for new consortia.
- Frame the application around internationalisation and measurable uptake at partner organisations, since these are the two stated funding purposes.
- Coordinate with your centre's existing consortium partners early, since the application must represent the full SFI-V partnership, not a single institution.
