NORFACE Partner Agencies - basic info.

The list of agencies and countries that cooperate in NORFACE determines the list of countries from which partners can be drawn. The list does not preclude participation from researchers outside this circle, but these have to enter a project on other terms - researchers from non-NORFACE countries are allowed to participate in the projects as Co-operation
partners. However, no funding can be applied for them from the NORFACE programme..

NORFACE Partner Agencies are:

• Austria: Austrian Science Fund (FWF)
  
• Denmark: Danish Social Science Research Council (DSSRC)
  
• Estonia: Estonian Science Foundation (EstSF)
  
• Finland: Academy of Finland (AKA)
  
• Germany: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)
  
• Iceland: Icelandic Centre for Research (RANNÍS)
  
• Ireland: Irish Research Council for the Humanities & Social Sciences (IRCHSS)
  
• Netherlands: Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO)
  
• Norway: Research Council of Norway (RCN)
  
• Portugal: Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT)
  
• Slovenia: Slovenian Research Agency
  
• Sweden: Swedish Research Council (VR)
  
• United Kingdom: Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)

The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council in Canada is an associate partner of NORFACE. In
addition to research teams from at least three of the above mentioned countries Canadian teams can be
included in the projects.

Each project team should strive to include researchers at different stages in their careers, including postdoctoral
and PhD students, as participants in the project. NORFACE strives to promote gender balance, and
encourages in particular women researchers to apply.

Each project must be composed of research teams based at universities or research institutes in three or
more different NORFACE countries.
