FUNDING
Through the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA), Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway are partners in the internal market with the Member States of the European Union.
To promote a continuous and balanced strengthening of economic and commercial relations, the parties to the EEA Agreement established a multi-annual Financial Mechanism, known as the EEA Grants.
The EEA Grants aim to reduce social and economic disparities in Europe and strengthen bilateral relations between these three countries and the beneficiary countries.
For the period 2014-2021, a total contribution of 2.8 billion euros was agreed upon for 15 beneficiary countries. Portugal will benefit from an amount of 102.7 million euros.” Learn more at eeagrants.gov.pt
Within the scope of this Financial Mechanism, the KIDS DIVE project Portugal – Norway is a beneficiary of funding under the Blue Growth Programme, competing and contributing to the creation of value and sustainable growth in the Portuguese blue economy.
