- carried out at a Faroese research institute, and

Advantage is given to projects that strengthen the Faroese Research community with:

- cooperation between various researchers/research entities and relevant institutes/organisations
- international cooperation and mobility.

Requirements:
- a minimum of 1/3 of the total cost must be covered by sources other than the Research Council.

The minimum amount available to apply for is 300,000 DKK. There is no set maximum for the budget total, however, funding granted by the Research Council rarely exceeds 1 million DKK for research projects and 1.5 million DKK for PhD projects.
