Programmes managed by SIU

SIU deals with three different aspects of organising international educational and research cooperation: programmes, fellowships and auditing arrangements. Programme management is the biggest part of our activities, and SIU is currently the largest international programme office in Norway. SIU manages programmes based on agreements between the Norwegian Council for Higher Education and individual clients. SIU’s activities range over the whole educational sector, from kindergarten level to higher and further education. Its programmes target the Nordic countries, Europe, Eastern Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, South-East Asia, Central America and the Palestinian Territories.

Program activity in different countries

In cooperation with Norad, SIU has made a web portal covering many of the countries involved in the various programmes. The portal has information about specific projects, cooperation possibilities for both local citizens and Norwegians, and links to other relevant websites. The portal can be found here.

Other schemes cover
  • Norway’s auditing arrangement with the Commission of the EU
  • The Nordic Council of Ministers’ auditing arrangement with the Commission of the EU
