The call
SPARK Social Innovation is a two-year innovation programme that will help you to further develop ideas within social innovation. Researchers from UiO can apply to be included in the programme and the 800 000 NOK project funding, divided over two payments of 400 000 NOK (one each year) following a milestone plan.
Central to this programme is a close follow-up for selected projects, and project leaders will be appointed their own mentor to assist them along the journey. There will further be workshops where the different projects can meet to present their work and share challenges and solutions with each other.
