Description
This funding arrangement allows UK-led research projects to include project co-leads based in Norway, supporting cross-border scientific collaboration through the UKRI-Research Council of Norway (RCN) Money Follows Cooperation agreement. Norwegian researchers can be fully integrated into UKRI-funded projects as project co-leads, contributing to project design, management, and intellectual leadership. The agreement is not a separate funding scheme but operates within existing UKRI council programmes, enabling joint research across a wide range of disciplines. Funding for Norwegian partners is provided directly by UKRI through the lead UK organisation, with costs subject to specific eligibility and justification requirements.
