Norway Grants

The Norway Grants and the EEA Grants represent Norway’s contribution towards a green, democratic and resilient Europe. Through these grant schemes, Norway helps reduce social and economic disparities across Europe and strengthens cooperation with 15 Beneficiary States in Central and Southern Europe. This support is part of Norway’s broader collaboration with the EU through the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA).

Norway contributes in two ways:  

  • Together with Iceland and Liechtenstein, it finances the EEA Grants.
  • Individually, it provides additional support through the Norway Grants, which are funded solely by Norway and apply to countries that joined the EU after 2003.

Between 1994 and 2021, the three Donor States have provided €6.1 billion through successive funding periods. For the 2021–2028 period, the Norway Grants alone amount to €1.463 billion. The programme areas and funds for the period can be found in the ‘Blue Book’.
