This Research Council of Norway call funds the continuation of the Norwegian Centre for CERN-related Research (NorCC), providing up to NOK 255 million over 96 months (8 years) to sustain Norway's national research commitment at CERN. It is aimed at Norwegian institutions coordinating particle physics and related CERN-linked research rather than individual early-career applicants. The long duration and large budget reflect its role as core national infrastructure funding rather than a standard project grant.
