It also advises the Government in matters related to research, and is subordinate to the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research. The council's total budget in 2009 amounted to NOK 6 165 million.[1] BackgroundThere were five predecessors of the council, each established as independent councils related to their own areas of interest: science and technology (1946), social sciences (1949), agriculture (1949), fisheries (1972) and applied social sciences (1987). The five were merged in 1993 to form the current council.[2] OrganizationThe Research Council has some 400 employees. The Research Council of Norway is led by the Director General Arvid Hallen (2014) with an executive staff organised directly under the Director General. The Director General’s executive staff is responsible for coordinating activities relating to budget planning, annual reports, statistics, strategic initiatives, international cooperation and media contact. The Research Council’s highest authority is the Executive Board, which consists of seven permanent members and two deputies. Three of the Executive Board members also serve as the chairs of the respective Division Research Boards. The other members of the Division Research Boards are appointed by the Executive Board. The Research Council of Norway comprises four research divisions and one division for administrative affairs::
It has local representatives in nine different regions of Norway. Since 23 June 2014, the Research Council's main office is located just outside Oslo at Drammensveien 288 in Lysaker.[4] Awards
InitiativesNoturThe Notur project provides[5] the national infrastructure for high-performance computing in Norway. The project serves the Norwegian computational science community by providing the infrastructure to individuals or groups involved in
The Notur project aims to provide a powerful and cost-effective infrastructure for computational science and enable its efficient utilization. In addition, the project shall contribute to the development of a national grid infrastructure, be proactive in international collaboration on infrastructure and computational science, and disseminate computational science as an important discipline in Norway. The Notur project is funded by the Research Council of Norway and the university partners. The Research Council of Norway entered into a 10-year agreement (2005-2014) with UNINETT Sigma. UNINETT Sigma is the coordinator of the project and entered into agreements with consortium partners
Since January 2006, the Notur project placed under the eVITA programme from the Research Council of Norway. NorGridThe National Grid Initiative of Norway is NorGrid. The NorGrid initiative aims{{Citation needed|date=April 2013}} to establish and maintain a national grid infrastructure in Norway. The NorGrid project was initially established as a subactivity of the Norwegian infrastructure project Notur for high-performance computing. In March 2007, NorGrid was recognized by the Research Council of Norway as a separate initiative with its own funding. A detailed description of the mission, organization and status of NorGrid can be found on the home pages for NorGrid. The coordinating legal entity of the NorGrid initiative is UNINETT Sigma. NorGrid includes the national Norwegian NREN (UNINETT), the University of Bergen (UiB) and its affiliated research organization Unifob, the University of Oslo (UiO) and the University of Tromsø (UiT). NorGrid collaborates with the Nordic Data Grid Facility (NDGF), a collaboration between the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden), on the operations and support for the Nordic Tier-1 center that is part of the WLCG collaboration. NDGF is hosted by NORDUnet. NorGrid is funded in part by the Research Council of Norway through the eVITA programme on e-Science. NorStoreThe objective{{Citation needed|date=April 2013}} of the NorStore project is to provide infrastructure in Norway for the curation of digital scientific data. The infrastructure must provide services for easy and secure access to distributed storage resources, facilitate the creation and use of digital scientific repositories, provide large aggregate capacities for storage and data transfer, and optimize the utilization of the overall storage capacity. Long-term objectives of the NorStore project include:
