Norway in a global context
International cooperation forms a central part of Norwegian policy. The internationalisation of education involves a great deal more than the mobility of researchers and students.
The Ministry of Education and Research (KD) lays down the political and strategic guidelines for international academic cooperation in general, and is responsible for specifying the overarching aims of such cooperation.
The Scheme for Norwegian studies at higher education institutions abroad includes grants for higher education institutions which offer courses in Norwegian topics, grants for student fieldwork in Norway and administration of Norwegian teachers abroad scheme.
