Utdanningskvalitetsprisen for høgare yrkesfagleg utdanning

This is an education-quality prize awarded by Direktoratet for høyere utdanning og kompetanse (HK-dir) for higher vocational education in Norway ("høgare yrkesfagleg utdanning"). The page describes the purpose of the prize as follows: "Prisen skal påskjøne framifrå arbeid med utdanningskvalitet i norsk høgare yrkesfagleg utdanning, og stimulere institusjonane til systematisk arbeid med å vidareutvikle kvaliteten på utdanningane sine." In English: "The prize shall honour outstanding work on educational quality in Norwegian higher vocational education, and stimulate the institutions to work systematically on further developing the quality of their education programmes."

The prize sum is stated verbatim as "Prisen er på 1 000 000 kroner." (The prize is 1,000,000 kroner.) The page indicates that the prize is awarded in full to a single initiative.

The application deadline ("søknadsfrist") is stated as "3. september 2026 kl. 12.00 (CET)" — that is, 3 September 2026 at 12:00 CET. A nomination form ("Nominasjonsskjema") is referenced in connection with the call.

The word "pris" (prize) is used throughout the call. Applications and reporting are handled through HK-dir's application and reporting portal Espresso (https://espresso.hkdir.no/). The page does not publish a single dedicated application email; instead it lists named contact persons, Margareth Haukås (margareth.haukas@hkdir.no) and Kjersti Hopland Kvåle (Kjersti.kvale@hkdir.no).

No funding rate, total programme budget, opening date, or parent programme is stated on the page beyond the single prize sum noted above.
