International Ibsen Scolarships Norwegia

The International Ibsen Scholarships were initiated in 2007 by the
Norwegian government. In total, scholarship funds amount to 1,000,000
NOK (approx. 125.000 Euro/150.000 US Dollars) in 2009, and will be
awarded to Ibsen-related projects worldwide.

* The international scholarships for Ibsen-related projects were
established by the Norwegian parliament in relation to the central
government budget for the fiscal year of 2007.
* Scholarships are awarded to individuals, organizations or
institutions within the artistic and cultural community. The
scholarships are meant to act as incentives for critical discourse in
regards to existential and society-related subject matters concerning
Henrik Ibsen.
* In cooperation with the Skien municipality, the Ministry of Culture
and Church Affairs appoints a review panel responsible for awarding the
scholarships. The review panel is to consist of three members, namely
one female, one male and one person with non-Norwegian citizenship. Any
member of the review panel must be fully competent and qualified within
the cultural and artistic fields of study. Members are appointed for
three years, with the possibility of another three year extension to the
tenure.
* Administrative support functions for the review panel and the
scholarships is the responsibility of the Skien municipality.
* Presentation of the scholarships is an integral part of the Skien
International Ibsen Conference, the latter being an annual event in
relation to the presentation of the International Ibsen Award.
* Scholarships are awarded based on a written application, which
should arrive no later than the predetermined deadline, and which must
abide by the rules set for the application procedure.
* The scholarships are accounted for by the Skien municipality, in
line with generally accepted accounting principles and subject to
instructions from the Ministry of Culture and Church Affairs.
* The manner in which public funds are used, is annually reported to
Ministry of Culture and Church Affairs.
