The Fritt Ord Foundation offers grants for master’s degree projects that address freedom of expression in a legal sense and/or the culture of free expression in a broader cultural sense. The role played by technology in freedom of expression and the culture of free expression, and the relationship of minorities and other social groups to and their experience with freedom of expression are also relevant topics.
Fritt Ord will support projects that are critical and analytical. Projects that require financial support for relevant travel, research and data collection will be given priority.
The grants are for NOK 40 000 each.

Applications are to be submitted using Fritt Ord’s application form by the deadline of 31 May, and applications will be accepted from 6 May onwards. Send a project description that includes the title, thesis question, theoretical perspectives, method and timeline. Then please attach a transcript of marks, your CV, and a recommendation from your supervisor.
