The EEA and Norway Grants are funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. The Grants have two goals – to contribute to a more equal Europe, both socially and economically – and to strengthen the relations between Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and the 15 Beneficiary States in Europe.
The EEA and Norway Grants are linked to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA), making Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway partners in the internal market with the 27 EU member states. The EEA countries share common values and responsibility with other European countries to promote equality of opportunity, tolerance, security, environmental sustainability, and a decent living standard.
Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein have allocated €2.8 billion 2014-2021 in the 2014-2021 funding period to fund projects that work towards a green, competitive and inclusive Europe.
