Changes in the statistics
  1. Given high deviation between granted amounts of support by Research Council of Norway (RCN) and actual expenditures in 2023, the statistics have been extended to include both.
  2. Due to more restricted procedure of registering Alumni-members in the Industrial incubator program by Siva, the number of recipients for Siva has been revised to be consistent over time.
