Norwegian R&D funding available for UK applicants
FHF - the Norwegian Seafood Research Fund - seeks to create added value to the seafood sector through industry-based research and development.
New FHF projects will, in general, be initiated through open competition. New funding calls are published on the FHF website as soon as they open. The challenges to be explored in each call are based on the priorities of the relevant strategic plan, topic-specific team, and other industry forums.
The assessments of applications are announced following each call, and decisions on project implementation are made by professional teams within the FHF.
Applications and project descriptions submitted during a funding call will be evaluated consistently and on an equal basis. Therefore, whatever has been submitted by the deadline will form the basis of the evaluation.
If – for reasons beyond the applicants’ control, including circumstances such as strikes – it has proved impossible to submit a complete or planned project proposal, the FHF will not be able to make special allowances for this. Evaluations will be based on what has been submitted within the specified deadline.
According to the law on funding for research and development in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors §3, individual decisions made by the organisation cannot be appealed to a higher authority.
However, the FHF has established an internal complaints procedure for decisions made in its funding calls. This relates to procedural errors rather than to professional assessments.
Complaints must be made within three weeks of receiving the funding decision and should be emailed to post@fhf.no.
Calls with a deadline within 2025 can be found here.
You can also find previous calls on the FHF website, with links to the projects that were established as a result of each call.
More detailed project documentation is available in English here: Prosjektdokumenter i FHF
