In 2005 a bilateral agreement on S&T cooperation between USA og Norge was signed. In addition to governmenta whitepapers and the Research Council of Norway’s international strategy, RCN has developed roadmaps for S&T cooperation with prioritized countries outside Europe.

The roadmap summarizes efforts to strengthen cooperation with USA in five points: . 1. Excellence: Promote bilateral and multilateral cooperation with leading researchers, research groups, and institutions. Further develop infrastructure, Centres of Excellence (SFF), Centres for Research-based Innovation (SFI), and centre cooperation. . 2. Industry-oriented R&D cooperation: Strengthen and further develop innovation and incubator activities, as well as institutional cooperation. . 3. EU forums and instruments: Work actively through these to promote bilateral and multilateral cooperation with the US. . 4. Specific thematic areas for US-Norwegian cooperation: polar research, the oceans, energy, health, ICT and innovation. . 5. Social science research: Some examples include the interphase between research and users, security in the Northern Areas, educational research and the use of technology in learning. Strategic tools, bottom up - or both? The vast majority of US cooperation with USA is researcher initiated, funded through RCN’s mainstream programs and through cooperation in EU projects. USA cooperation is mostly initiated bottom up In addition we have strategic instruments and programs.

Examples of collaborative programs and tools: . INTPART (Institutional partnerships for excellent research, education and innovation) . RCN-funding for institutional partnerships. (3-year funding) . 50% of the projects in the portfolio have USA partners, and most are multilateral. . GROW (Graduate Research Opportunity Worldwide) . Ca 8 NSF-GRFP fellows come to Norway for a research stay as part of this initiative . PIRE (Partnership for International Research and Education) . RCN participates in this NSF-program, by funding Norwegian activities in successful projects. Two project with Norwegian partner in the 2017 call. . NIH-guarantee arrangement . RCN’s health programs issue a guarantee for funding of Norwegian activities in successful collaborative project, assessed by NIH as lead agency . Polar research (a collaborative mechanism similar to PIRE and NIH) . Cooperation between NSF Polar Programs and the RCN’s polarprogram, with NSF as lead agency for the application process and assessment including peer review. INTPART - International Partnerships in Excellent Education, Research and Innovation

INTPART programme objectives:

. Develop world-class research and – through international partnerships. . Expand cooperation between research groups considered to be at the international forefront or with the potential to become world leaders in their fields. . Enable long-term institutional partnerships with strong academic groups in Brazil, Canada, India, Japan, China, Russia, South Africa and the USA.

. Align with the strategic plans of the applicant institution, and include academic partners, strategic leadership and administration. . Strengthen integration of higher education- and research activities. . Educational cooperation to be integrated in the institution’s educational programs, and must extend beyond collaboration between individual researchers . Facilitate cooperation with the business and public sectors, when relevant.
