Prosjekt i bedrift

Prosjekt i bedrift (PIB) is a funding instrument established by Fiskeri- og havbruksnæringens forskningsfinansiering AS (FHF). FHF describes it on its own scheme page as follows: "Prosjekt i Bedrift (PIB) er et særskilt virkemiddel FHF har etablert for å kunne gi tilskudd til teknologileverandørenes bidrag til verdiskaping og vekst i sjømatnæringen." ("Prosjekt i Bedrift (PIB) is a special instrument FHF has established to be able to give grants for technology suppliers' contribution to value creation and growth in the seafood industry.")

On the form of support, the page states: "Finansiell støtte kan gis til forprosjekter, til deler av prosjekter eller til hele prosjekter." ("Financial support can be given to preliminary projects, to parts of projects, or to whole projects.") The page adds that support levels must comply with the framework of the EEA agreement.

The criteria are not fixed in a single text but are announced with each individual call for proposals. The page states: "Hvilke kriterier som gjelder for ordningen vil publiseres sammen med hver utlysning" ("Which criteria apply to the scheme will be published together with each call for proposals"). Applications are therefore made in response to FHF's calls (utlysninger), and the page links to FHF's digital application portal, "Digital søknadsportal", at https://www.fhf.no/utlysninger/digital-soeknadsportal/.

The page does not print specific funding amounts, a total budget figure, a currency, or a fixed application deadline year, so those fields are left null and the application mode is recorded as unknown.

Supporting documents are referenced on the page: "Dokumenter som tilhører Prosjekt i Bedrift finnes under Prosjektdokumenter" ("Documents belonging to Prosjekt i Bedrift can be found under Project documents"). The page lists a contact person for the scheme: Lars R. Lovund, Fagsjef – Pelagisk industri og havbruk, email lars.lovund@fhf.no, telephone 90 68 08 46.
