R&D Cooperation USA - Norway Financial and organizational implications related to a targeted increase in R&D in the areas of Energy and Environment

Increased internationalisation of Norwegian research is one of the main goals of The Research Council of Norway. The reason for this is obvious: international cooperation is needed to reach the cutting edge and to perform high quality research in most scientific fields. Such cooperation is a necessity in research requiring large installations or equipment or research involving several countries. Close contact and cooperation across borders is therefore of the greatest importance for the further development of Norwegian research. This is why the RCN supporters the launching of a new strategic plan for increased researchand technology cooperation with North America. This region contains some of the world’s most successful and high-rated institutions. In the USA and Canada the traditions for close cooperation between universities and industry have had a major impact on industrial innovation and modernisation in the two countries.
