Application deadline: August 15th 2025
Maximum funding for each application: 20,000 NOK
Total available funding in the call: 30,000 NOK
The possibility of harvesting synergies between projects and exchange of competence is one of the benefits of being part of DLN. Our cross-project activity support is one way to take advantage of interdisciplinary collaboration. Examples of such activities could be exchange of competence, methods, small pilot projects, workshops, research visits etc.
In general, each application can apply for up to 20 000 NOK. However, for well-argumented special circumstances, more funding can be considered. Depending on the total amount of money applied for in the centre, DLN reserves the right to prioritize or adjust the support for each granted application. The activity has to finish November 2025 the latest and the funding has to be claimed from DLN within December 1st 2025.

Requirements
The application form contains a template where the required information has to be filled in. The application needs to include information about the involved projects and contact persons, the type of activity applied for, the motivation and a description of the activities planned, including how the projects will contribute and benefit, and a tentative time line for the execution of the activity. The application should also include a tentative budget. Applications involving only one DLN project will be considered but only if this is an interdisciplinary collaboration. Collaboration between two similar projects will not be funded. All participating projects must agree on the application. The activity has to finish November 2025 the latest and the funding has to be claimed from DLN within December 1st 2025.
Please note that after completing the activity we kindly ask you to send a brief report stating the use of the funding and outcome, and a blog post about the activity.
