Sentre for fremragende forskning – SFF VI – Trinn 2 (Centres of Excellence – SFF VI – Phase 2)

The Centres of Excellence (SFF) scheme provides Norway's leading scientific research environments the opportunity to organize themselves into centres to achieve ambitious scientific goals through collaboration and with long-term core funding. Research at the centres must be innovative and have great potential for groundbreaking results that advance the international research front. The centres work with ambitious ideas and complex problems where coordinated and long-term research efforts within or across disciplines are important to achieve the goals. This is Phase 2 of a two-stage application process for selecting the sixth generation of SFF centres (SFF-VI). Phase 2 is a closed call, and only invited applicants selected from Phase 1 can apply. The application must describe the same project as the Phase 1 application, but with a more comprehensive project description. Each centre will be financed for 10 years, pending successful interim evaluation. Support limits for Research Council funding range from 80-160 million NOK over 10 years.
