  • Norway offers trial and research permits encourage projects that could advance the Norwegian aquaculture industry
  • The program is primarily for research institutions, but in special cases, permission has been granted to private or public institutions
  • Research permits are limited in time and applications are assessed individually on the basis of the project's academic and practical relevance
  • Applications are processed by the Directorate of Fisheries' Professional Council for Research Permits
