Other Nordic funds
Here we present a number of other Nordic support options and pools that you can apply for. Read more on their websites.
Pools under the Nordic Council of Ministers
There are a number of support schemes under the Nordic Council of Ministers within a wide range of subject areas.
Nordic Culture Point has a large number of programs, all of which support projects within Nordic co-operation.
The Nordic Culture Fund supports art and culture co-operation for both professionals and amateurs in the Nordic region. The key words for projects that receive support are: Variety, foresight, availability and quality. They support through various pools such as Puls, Globus, Opstart and Project funding.
Nordplus provides financial support for several types of educational co-operation within lifelong learning in the eight Nordic and Baltic participating countries.
The foundation’s primary purpose is to promote film and television productions in the Nordic countries by providing support for documentaries, feature films, and television series.
NORA supports collaborative projects involving partners from at least two of the four NORA countries (Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Coastal Norway). NORA does not normally support projects that are characterized as “pure” research or cultural projects.
Norwegian Literature Abroad (NORLA) manages a pool for the Nordic Council of Ministers, which is awarded to support translations of professional, fiction and children’s literature between the Nordic languages. The pool can be applied for by the publisher. In addition, professional theaters in the Nordic countries can apply for support for translation of plays.
The aim is to ensure the spread of and strengthen the knowledge of Nordic literature in Greenland. The pool is administered by the Greenland Writers’ Association, Atuakkiortut. Individuals cannot apply for support – the publisher must apply. The page referred to is in Greenlandic.
