The University of Minnesota + The Norwegian University of Life Sciences
The story in brief
Cooperation started in 2003 with research “dream teams”
Funded by the Norwegian ministry of agriculture and food, the Norwegian embassy to USA, the Norwegian Research Council and the University of Minnesota and its Foundation
The Norwegian Centennial Interdisciplinary Chair was announced in 2005 by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon
Three agreements between the two universities were signed 2006 to establish the Chair program
Shared funding of an endowment – Norway-UMN

Funding
The two universities provided a total of $1.5 Million to the University of Minnesota Foundation.
The earnings from the endowment, about $ 70,000 per year, provide scholarships, part-time salaries for the chair-holders and workshop arrangements.
The research teams apply for public or private funding for their R&D-projects.
