This wide-ranging viewpoint by Norway lays out the wishes of the government, as well as a number of Norwegian stakeholders, on the principles, priorities and structure of FP9
Norway has a keen interest in contributing to FP9 as the EU’s Framework Programmes are an important part of Norway’s research and innovation policy. It pushes for a green-focussed programme with a strong innovation emphasis and an international outreach.
