The Olav Thon Foundation was established in December 2013. Section 7 a) of the articles of association includes the following statement:
Funding may be awarded for purposes within the fields of mathematics, the natural sciences and medicine.
Against this background and in addition to its other announcements, the Foundation will reserve NOK 20 million for grants to Nordic research collaboration in the field of medicine for 2018. Only researchers associated with universities or academic institutions in the Nordic countries are eligible for support. Previous collaboration will be regarded as an advantage and should be documented (by co-publications or similar). The collaboration must include specific research groups in at least two Nordic countries and be led by personnel holding professorships or equivalent permanent academic positions.
