Norwegian Artistic Research Programme
\n\nWhen the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges was adopted in Norway in 1995, Artistic Research\u00a0was given the same status as scientific research as an objective of the institutions\u2019 activities. The Norwegian Artistic Research Programme was established as an umbrella for the\u00a0Artistic Research Fellowship Programme (2003) and the Project Programme (2010). In 2024 the last candidates graduated from the Fellowship program and the distribution of grants from the Project programme ceased. The board of the\u00a0Norwegian Artistic Research Programme was dessolved at the end of that year.\u00a0

\n\nThe Fellowship Programme for Artistic Research was established in 2003 as a parallel to the doctoral programmes in the sciences. From the outset, the programme included a grant scheme with competitive fellowship positions funded by the ministry.\u00a0In 2010, the Ministry of Education and Research introduced another grant scheme called the Project Programme for Artistic Research. Responsibility for the programme was assigned to the existing board of the Fellowship Programme.\u00a0From 2012 untill 2023 the Norwegian Artistic Research Programme awarded funds to research projects that contributed to reflection and insight based on artistic practice through the Project Programme.\u00a064 projects from all art fields were supported with at total of 167 mill NOK.\u00a0

\nInstitutional PhD programmes from 2018
\nThe Norwegian model of Artistic Research is quite inter-disciplinary, with a joint professional training component for PhD candidates from all Art disciplines and Institutions in Norway. The Norwegian Artistic Research Fellowship Programme was established in 2003 and was Norway's first artistic research programme at doctoral degree level. The Fellowship Programme was replaced by institutional Artistic PhD programmes from 2018. The Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo was the first to establish an Artistic PhD programme in 2018, soon followed by the University of Bergen, the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, and NTNU in Trondheim. The University of Stavanger and the University of Agder have since established a joint PhD programme, and the University of Inlandet has a temporary programme. The PhD institutions have a joint research school.
