'It is not only Norwegian companies and research institutions that can enter into cooperation projects.
– Det er ikke bare norsk næringsliv og forskningsinstitusjoner som kan inngå i samarbeidsprosjekter.
The grant scheme also offers significant opportunities for local authorities, NGOs and the cultural sector.
Her ligger det store muligheter for blant annet kommuner, frivillige organisasjoner og kultursektoren.
Anyone who would like to take part in creating a green, competitive and inclusive Europe is welcome to participate', Mr Bakke-Jensen said.
Alle som vil være med å skape et grønt, konkurransedyktig og inkluderende Europa er velkomne til å delta, sier Bakke-Jensen.
Over the next few months, these Norwegian agencies will work with their Portuguese counterparts to develop the programmes.
I månedene fremover skal de norske fagetatene samarbeide med portugisiske kolleger om å utvikle programmene.
Open calls for project proposals will be announced at a later stage.
Åpne utlysninger av støtte til samarbeidsprosjekter kommer først senere.
