Tilgang til forskerpool for bedrifter i mineralsektoren og IKT-sektoren

This scheme provides companies in the minerals and ICT sectors with access to researcher hours funded as "tilskudd" (grant), specifically described on the page as "bagatellmessig støtte" (de minimis aid). The grant covers real costs for a researcher up to 100 hours ("inntil 100 timer"), invoiced at the research institution's market rates.

Eligible applicants are companies with active SkatteFUNN projects in the minerals or ICT sectors (or with substantial minerals/ICT components). Each company may apply once per project, and the researcher cannot be employed by the applicant company.

The total available budget is "Kr 7 400 000", split between "2,4 millioner kroner" for the land-based minerals sector and "5 millioner kroner" for the ICT sector. The per-company de minimis ceiling stated on the page is "300 000 euro in løpet av en treårsperiode" (over a three-year period).

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis ("Løpende") until allocated funds are awarded. Applications are submitted at https://app.forskningsradet.no/mittNettsted/app/opprettSoknad/741?locale=no. The page was last updated "27. mai 2026".
