The Ingegerd and Arne Skaug’s Research Fund aims to support research that sheds light on economic conditions and developments, both in Norway and in other countries that participated in the European Reconstruction Program (1947-1952).

Each year, the available funds are allocated to three specific purposes:

Scholarship for a younger researcher
A scholarship may be awarded to a younger researcher seeking support for studies related to the aforementioned topics. The candidate must be under 40 years of age by the application deadline. The recipient of the scholarship is required to submit a written report to the board detailing the research and the results achieved.

Contribution to the printing of reports
Part of the funds may be used to support the printing of reports produced as part of the scholarship award. This purpose ensures that the research is disseminated to a wider audience.

Coverage of expenses for foreign researchers
The fund also covers expenses related to inviting foreign researchers to stay at the Research Department of Statistics (Statistisk Sentralbyrå) Norway. This purpose promotes international collaboration and provides opportunities for knowledge exchange.

The application deadline for 2025 is set to 01.04.2025.
