How to Follow News and Updates from the EEA and Norway Grants

Updated

You can follow the EEA and Norway Grants by reading the news and events published on eeagrants.org, checking the calls section for open funding opportunities, and subscribing to the newsletter. These channels are open to anyone — you do not need to be an applicant or partner organisation to read them. The site is run by the Financial Mechanism Office (FMO), which manages the Grants on behalf of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.

Where the updates live on the site

The homepage carries the most recent items, each with a date and a short summary. Recent examples include:

  • Poland launches its Green Transition programme (30/09/2026) — an investment in cleaner energy, stronger ecosystems and more climate-resilient communities.
  • Protecting the space for civil society (24/09/2026) — work with the EU Agency to strengthen the environment civic actors operate in.
  • Where democracy is learned — and where it must be defended (17/08/2026) — a classroom-focused effort with the European Wergeland Centre.
  • Promoting inclusion and stronger societies (28/07/2026) — a news article on inclusive societies.

A "View all" link sits alongside the news block, so you can move from the latest few items to the full news and events listing rather than relying on the homepage alone.

Subscribing to the newsletter

The site provides a newsletter sign-up page at https://eeagrants.org/en/fmo/news-events/subscribe-our-newsletter, reached through a "Subscribe to our newsletter" link. This is the most direct way to receive updates without revisiting the site.

To use it:

  1. Open the subscribe page from the news and events area.
  2. Enter your email address in the sign-up form.
  3. Confirm your subscription if you receive a confirmation message.

The expected result is that new items — programme launches, calls and news articles — reach you by email. The site does not state a publishing frequency, so treat the newsletter as an addition to, not a replacement for, checking the site directly.

Tracking calls and funding opportunities

If your interest is funding rather than general news, the calls section is the part to watch. It lists open calls with their deadlines, for example:

Call Country Type Deadline
POLNORIS Poland Applied Research and Innovation Poland Call for projects 17/12/2026
Services for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence Slovakia Call for projects 10/10/2026
Call No. 7 for Bilateral Cooperation Slovakia Call for bilateral initiatives Rolling call

A "Find all calls" link leads to the complete list. Funding is awarded through open calls managed in each country and is open to public bodies, NGOs, businesses and research institutions. Deadlines and status can change, so confirm details on the individual call page before planning a submission.

Contacting the office

A "Contact us" section is available for questions that the news and calls pages do not answer — for instance, clarifying whether a specific organisation is eligible for a call, or asking about a programme area. Use it after you have checked the relevant call page, since most practical questions are answered there.

A practical routine

If you want to stay current without much effort:

  • Subscribe to the newsletter once, so major announcements come to you.
  • Check the calls list periodically if you are looking for funding, because rolling calls and fixed deadlines behave differently.
  • Use "View all" on the news block when you need the full history rather than the latest few items.

This combination covers both general developments and time-sensitive funding windows, which are the two things most visitors to eeagrants.org are trying to track.
