Due Dates: Open-ended call (three application deadlines each year; check the Finance Market Fund for dates)

Key Information: Only approved Norwegian research organisations may apply; the event must not have begun when the fund’s board reviews it.
Description
The Finance Market Fund supports events about how financial markets function and how to strengthen ethical awareness in the financial market area. Relevant subjects include securities markets, banking and insurance, other parts of the financial market, and accounting and auditing. Events may advance research, education or public information on issues such as system weaknesses, good business practice and consumer interests.
The Research Council of Norway administers the call, and the Finance Market Fund’s board makes funding decisions. Support is intended to help bring an event into being, rather than pay for routine operations. The Norwegian version of the call is legally binding.
