Grants for research projects
The Landsvirkjun Energy Research Fund’s Board accepts applications at the beginning of each calendar year.
The Energy Research Fund’s goal is to strengthen research in the fields of environmental and energy affairs. Its goal is to award grants for research projects conducted by universities, institutions, companies and individuals. A further objective of the fund is to make Landsvirkjun's monetary contributions to research more efficient and transparent, and to ensure that the studies supported by the fund comply with Landsvirkjun's climate and environmental policies.
Applications are only invited for project grants in Category B, as specified in the fund's allocation rules. Master's or doctoral students have the opportunity to apply for project grants in collaboration with their supervisors. Grants are generally awarded for no more than half of the cost incurred and are awarded for the cost related to the work of experts, the participation of master's and doctoral students, and other expenses.
