Other Barents Secretariat funding programmes
I addition to the Barents Secretariat’s main funding program, we administer several funds with special areas of priority. This is aimed at increasing the activity in each area.
There have been established several small funding programs in order to increase the project activity and diversity within each area of priority. Statistics show that for each new financing program, the number of applications within this area of priority has increased shortly after.
Our financing programs within the areas of priority are:
