Sentre for fremragende fag- og yrkesopplæring (CoVE)

This call, published by Direktoratet for høyere utdanning og kompetanse (HK-dir), concerns "Sentre for fremragende fag- og yrkesopplæring (CoVE)" — Centres of Vocational Excellence — under the Erasmus+ programme. The measure aims to "utvikle og styrke sentre for fremragende fag- og yrkesopplæring som kobler utdanning, arbeidsliv og innovasjon" ("develop and strengthen centres of vocational excellence that connect education, working life and innovation"), supporting the establishment and development of cross-national centres of vocational excellence.

The maximum EU grant per project is stated as €4,000,000, and the funding rate is stated as 80% of costs covered by the EU. The project duration is normally 48 months. For Norwegian applicants, the page notes project-establishment support ("prosjektetableringsstøtte") of up to 100,000 NOK as coordinator and up to 50,000 NOK as partner; these are supplementary national support amounts and are not the principal EU grant, so the frontmatter currency reflects the EUR grant ceiling.

The application deadline ("søknadsfrist") is stated as 3 September 2026, 17:00 CET. Applications are submitted through the European Commission's Funding & Tenders portal (the apply link recorded above). The application email given on the page is erasmuspluss@hkdir.no.

No total programme budget or opening date is stated on the page.
