Tilskudd til universell utforming

This grant program from the Norwegian Directorate for Children, Youth and Family Affairs (Bufdir) supports knowledge development, competence raising, and information dissemination within universal design. The program prioritizes projects that contribute to mapping and knowledge development in universal design, innovation in product, plan, or system development, and competence raising with effective dissemination of information about universal design. The program aims to develop and strengthen the implementation of universal design as a social quality and improve quality of life and equality for persons with disabilities. Applications are accepted from county, municipal, and private institutions and businesses, foundations, research institutions, and organizations. The total funding available is 16.1 million NOK (subject to parliamentary budget approval), and projects are expected to demonstrate co-financing, collaboration between multiple actors, and social benefit.
