The FME grants are based on an open call where a host institution and partners apply for FME status. The scheme is limited to R&D-activity within the thematic area of renewable energy, energy efficiency and CO2-management. The scheme is open to participation of large, internationally oriented enterprises as well as research-intensive small and medium-sized enterprises. In order to take part in an FME, it is not necessary to have headquarters located in Norway; any foreign company, even without operations in Norway, may take part. The host institution, in which the FME will be based, can be a university or a non-profit research institute. It must be situated in Norway.
The RCN will cover up to a maximum 50 per cent of the FME's annual budget. The host Institution with partners undertakes to contribute at least 50 per cent of the centres' annual budget. At least 25 per cent of the FME's budget must come from undertaking partners.
The FMEs will dedicate the greatest part of their resources to fundamental research. In general, 75 per cent of the research carried out is to be fundamental research and the remaining 25 per cent is to cover industrial research. Most projects will cover both fundamental and industrial research but there may be some projects which will consist of industrial research exclusively.
