Toppforskere - Forskerprosjekt for å utvikle verdensledende forskningsmiljøer

The purpose of this call is to finance curiosity-driven and bold research that can contribute to moving the international research frontier. The call shall give good Norwegian research environments the opportunity to develop into world-leading environments in their fields. The funds shall go to projects where collaboration between two or more named researchers is a prerequisite for achieving the project's goals. This is part of FRIPRO's groundbreaking research portfolio which supports fundamental and applied research projects across all research areas where project ideas come from the researchers themselves. The program is willing to invest in bold research that has the potential to provide significant advances in the field, even though it also has significant risk of not succeeding.
