Tilskudd til fagutvikling i fartøyvernet

Tilskudd til fagutvikling i fartøyvernet ("Grant for professional development in vessel conservation") is a grant scheme administered by Riksantikvaren (the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage). The directorate's own scheme page states the purpose: "Formålet er ta vare på og videreføre håndverkskunnskapen som trengs for antikvarisk istandsetting og vedlikehold av verna og freda fartøy." ("The purpose is to safeguard and pass on the craft knowledge needed for antiquarian repair and maintenance of protected and listed vessels.")

The page describes two components of the funding line: ongoing operational support for the three national vessel-conservation centres (covering documentation, advisory services, training, emergency harbours, and spare-parts storage), and project grants for skills development in vessel conservation.

On who may apply, the page states: "Alle aktører med kompetanse og kunnskap som er relevant for fagfeltet kan få tilskudd fra posten." ("All actors with competence and knowledge relevant to the field may receive grants from the budget line.") The page mentions vessel-conservation centres, academic institutions, museums, and craft organisations as relevant applicants.

The page lists the kinds of projects eligible for project grants, including: new or increased knowledge about vessels and/or craftsmanship that benefits conservation work; documentation of crafts and vessels for historical accuracy; collection and dissemination of knowledge relevant to the field; and technical and conservation potential for climate and environmental measures.

On the application deadline, the page states: "Neste søknadsfrist er 1. november." ("The next application deadline is 1 November.")

On how to apply, the page states: "Søknad om tilskudd sender dere til Riksantikvaren på postmottak@ra.no eller Riksantikvaren, Postboks 1483 Vika, 0116 Oslo." ("You send the grant application to Riksantikvaren at postmottak@ra.no or Riksantikvaren, Postboks 1483 Vika, 0116 Oslo.")

The page names two contact persons: Anke Loska (982 02 792, alo@ra.no) and Tor Kristian Torsvik (930 51 504, tokto@ra.no). It identifies the budget line as Kap. 1429 post 75, and refers to the governing regulation Forskrift om tilskudd til fagutvikling i fartøyvernet. The page records a last-modified date: "Endret: 27. august 2025."

No specific funding amount, minimum, maximum, or funding rate is printed on the scheme's own page.
