Folkehelse og levekår - etablering og forsterking av forskningssamarbeid i Agder

This funding opportunity aims to support public sector, voluntary sector, and research institutions in Agder region to collaboratively develop larger project applications for research and research-driven innovation funding, with a particular focus on public health and living conditions. The program is designed to lower the threshold for actors from Agder who want to develop larger research projects. The funding enables collaborative partnerships between municipalities/county administration, voluntary organizations, and approved research institutions with offices in Agder. Projects must be linked to specific calls for research or innovation projects within public health and living conditions themes and contribute to realizing the goals of the Agder Regional Plan 2030. The program promotes real project collaboration and long-term partnerships, with preference for using the KSF (Municipalities' Collaboration Arena for Research South) model for cooperation.
