Arkitekt Eugen Nielsens Stiftelse

Arkitekt Eugen Nielsens Stiftelse is a grant-making foundation based in Oslo, Norway working on science & research, heritage.

Arkitekt Eugen Nielsens Stiftelse is a Norwegian foundation based in Oslo that awards scholarships and grants to researchers and institutions working on history, including military history. Its purpose reflects the interests of the late architect Eugen Nielsen, whose collection of weapons was the basis for the foundation. The foundation supports projects on recent Norwegian history, which may include research, publishing or media production. Projects are expected to be pioneering and applicants must document high professional competence; a short CV is requested with applications. The foundation typically co-finances projects rather than covering their full costs, and does not fund equipment or hardware, but may fund items such as buy-outs of working time, travel and archival material costs. Applications are assessed on an ongoing basis. Due to low interest returns in recent years, the foundation is currently not distributing larger amounts. The board sets the guidelines for grants and reporting requirements. The foundation is administered c/o a lawyer in Oslo.
