NCE is a national programme with nine regional NCE projects. It is owned by The Research Council of Norway, SIVA and Innovation Norway. Innovation Norway administers the programme. A programme secretariat, managed by a programme manager, is responsible for the daily operation and development of NCE. Arena and NCE share programme managers.
The programme council for NCE and Arena
A joint programme council has been set up for NCE and Arena. It must follow up and develop the programmes’ objectives and strategies, make strategic choices from among assigned resources, establish procedures for the intake of new projects and undertake necessary prioritisations with regard to choice of projects.
