Norwegian summary, NMP-1

Traditional instruments: STREP, CA and SSA Low Norwegian ”score” Success rate 10,3% (Finland 27,4%)

New instruments: IP and NE Low Norwegian ”score” Success rate 6,5% (Finland 9,2%) No Norwegian partners in IP! 3 (2) institutes in 2 NE!

KeraNor is the only Norwegian industrial partner (STRP)


Concluding remarks

Very low participation from Norway Have we failed to inform about possibilities?

Too much nano? Too little about multifunctional materials

and processes Not relevant for the Norwegian industry? Too early for the Norwegian research

community?Low interaction between institutes and industry


Can we improve?

Need closer cooperation between institutes and industries

National funding for participating institutes Less costly for research institutes to

participate Less costly for industry (not paying

institutes)

More resources in the Norwegian Research Council

Thank You !
