The Norway Grants represent Norway’s contribution towards a green, competitive and inclusive Europe.

Through the Norway Grants, Norway contributes to reducing social and economic disparities and to strengthening bilateral relations with beneficiary countries in Central and Southern Europe and the Baltics.

Norway cooperates closely with the EU through the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Together with the other donors, Norway has provided €3.3 billion through consecutive grant schemes between 1994 and 2014.

Norway Grants are financed solely by Norway and are available in the countries that joined the EU after 2003. For the period 2014-2021, the Norway Grants amount to €1.25 billion. The priorities for this period are:

#1 Innovation, Research, Education, Competitiveness and Decent Work
#2 Social Inclusion, Youth Employment and Poverty Reduction
#3 Environment, Energy, Climate Change and Low Carbon Economy
#4 Culture, Civil Society, Good Governance and Fundamental Rights
#5 Justice and Home Affairs

All projects are co-financed by the State Budget of the Slovak Republic in the amount of 15%.

What is the project about:

 The main area of ​​use of the project will be directed to school classrooms, but the use will be universal, also to office spaces or households. Research into the correlation (impact) of environmental quality or poor quality on children's health and, in the future, better management of heating, ventilation and other aspects of building management. The idea of ​​the project is based on research that has been done on the spread of COVID 19 in different types of environments, which shows the huge impact of humidity and air temperature on the probability of infection of an exposed subject. The level of potential infection has increased by up to 50%, even though the humidity has changed by only 10%.
