Since 2007, Romania has received over 900 million euros through the EEA & Norway Grants, non-reimbursable external funds provided by the Kingdom of Norway, Iceland, and the Principality of Liechtenstein, aimed at reducing economic disparities and strengthening bilateral relations, the Ministry of Investments and European Projects (MIPE) announced on Wednesday.'Romania has benefited so far from over 900 million euros in funding through the EEA and Norway Grants. These funds have supported projects that built bridges between people, institutions, and communities, turning ideas into meaningful outcomes. The interventions have spanned areas such as education, research, renewable energy and environmental protection, support for vulnerable groups, and projects that strengthened the rule of law, trained public administrations, and supported civic organisations. We've reviewed these results as we are currently discussing future cooperation between Romania and the donor states. We all want the future partnership to focus on effective implementation of allocated grants, achieving concrete results, and ensuring complementarity with Cohesion Policy and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR),' Minister of Investments and European Projects Marcel Bolos is quoted in the press release as saying.Recently, MIPE officials held a working meeting with representatives of the donor states to discuss the upcoming programming period. Bilateral cooperation remains a key part of the partnership, and Romania reaffirms its commitment to continue effectively implementing the grants to address shared challenges and promote innovation, the press release reads.Previously, the MIPE team, along with donor state representatives and institutions involved in programme or project implementation, reviewed the outcomes of the previous funding period, during which Romania was allocated over 500 million euros.
