Discover Funding Opportunities

This grant program from the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage (Riksantikvaren) provides funding to cover costs associated with necessary archaeological investigations when special circumstances exist. The state can fully or partially cover the costs of required archaeological surveys. Applicants must demonstrate special grounds for state funding in their application for permission to intervene in automatically protected cultural monuments. There are no fixed rules for what constitutes special grounds, and each case is evaluated individually. The application is not submitted as a standard grant application but rather as an application for permission to intervene in automatically protected cultural monuments, which must be sent to the county municipality (fylkeskommune).
