However, “Geographical flexibility” rules are in effect, these rules specifically allow for the use of ERDF funding for Faroese and Greenlandic partners. (Please see the NPA Programme manual section 1.5.2 for further details). Note: The Monitoring Committee encourages partnerships with a wide participation from the NPA area. Applicants should not be discouraged from including Faroese and Greenlandic partners in their application.
The Monitoring committee recommends Norwegian and Icelandic project partners to contact their respective Regional Contact Points to discuss available funding, and to determine a reasonable grant request.
The NPA programme has reached the required targeted number of approved projects for specific objectives 1.2 and 2.1. As a result, the Monitoring Committee has decided that specific objectives 1.2 and 2.1 are mainly open to invited main projects recommended to reapply from the 5th call or approved on-going preparatory projects in these specific objectives are eligible to come forward in the Sixth Call.
