Through the Norwegian and EEA Grants, Norway contributes to reducing social and economic inequalities and strengthening bilateral relations with beneficiary countries in Central and Southern Europe and the Baltic Sea area. Norway works closely with the EU under the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement.
Along with other donors, Norway has provided 3.3 billion euros under consecutive fund programs from 1994–2014. The Norwegian Grants are funded exclusively by Norway and are available in countries that joined the EU after 2003. The Norwegian Grants for the 2014-2021 period amount to 1.25 billion euros. The priorities for this period are:
#1 innovation, scientific research, education, competitiveness, and decent work;
#2 social inclusion, youth employment, and poverty reduction;
#3 environment, energy, climate change, and low-carbon economy;
#4 culture, civil society, good governance, and fundamental rights;
#5 justice and internal affairs
Norwegian and EEA Grants – Together we work towards a green, competitive, and socially inclusive Europe.
What?
Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway provide 2.8 billion euros in support for 15 EU and EEA member states from Central and Southern Europe and the Baltic Sea area for the 2014–2021 period.
Why?
The basis of the Norwegian and EEA Grants is the EEA Agreement. Under this agreement, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway operate in the EU's internal market. This agreement sets a common goal of working together to reduce social and economic inequalities in Europe. To achieve this, the donors established the Norwegian and EEA Grants.
Where?
The beneficiary countries are Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
What areas?
Through the Norwegian and EEA Grants, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway aim to contribute to improving growth and employment, addressing challenges related to climate change and energy dependency, as well as reducing poverty and social exclusion.
Who?
Beneficiaries include local, regional, and national authorities, educational and research institutions, students, teachers, researchers, non-governmental organizations, small and medium enterprises, and social partners.

Sub-action 19.1.2
Innovations in inland or marine waters – “Blue growth”
Supports business cooperation, innovation, and competitiveness in the maritime sector.
Seas, oceans, coastal areas, rivers, and lakes are the driving force of the European economy, which has enormous potential for innovation, new technologies, and growth, but activities along the waters expose resources to increasing risk.
The goal of Blue growth support is to contribute to a sustainable blue economy and ensure that our oceans, rivers, and lakes are safe, protected, clean, and managed sustainably.
Implementing investments according to best environmental protection practices;
Aparthotel - LEED precertification at GOLD level;
Collaboration with local authorities on environmental education and regional promotion;
Numerous ESG activities raising ecological awareness among customers, employees, and the local community;
Support for investments in coastal and marine tourism;
Tourism service based on modern electromobility solutions;
Support for efforts to protect the waters of the Vistula Lagoon;
Use of modern technologies to protect the environment and preserve the region's natural heritage;
Support for sustainable development of the Warmia region and the waters of the Vistula Lagoon;
Promoting sustainable tourism;
The use of electromobility allows saving 210,189 liters of gasoline annually
CO2 equivalent: 374 tons of CO2/year
(in case of non-investment)
CO2 equivalent in case of providing the service based on charging all units exclusively from the power grid: 65 tons of CO2/year
CO2 equivalent in case of providing the service based on charging units using energy obtained from photovoltaics: 24 tons annually.
Thanks to a photovoltaic installation with a capacity of 50 kWp and an energy storage system with a capacity of 52 kWh, we have significantly reduced the amount of electricity bills.
Reducing the amount of electricity bills has also been made possible thanks to the creation and implementation of a modern Electricity Management System. The system decides in real-time whether to store or use electricity from our storage.
Another component of our energy transformation is equipping our Center with 5 charging points for electric cars - each with a power of 22 kW.
An integral part of the green transformation is also the modernization of the municipal pier - currently, the works include the installation of 5 charging stations for electric power.
14 fully electric cross motorcycles were put in the hands of our Guests. The implementation of the new service also included the preparation of recreational trails to avoid harmful impacts on the natural environment surrounding our Center. Slow-moving vehicles will allow convenient access to our beach point and the center of Frombork, as well as improve operations within the Center itself.
The proximity of the Green and EuroVelo trails prompted us to invest in a fleet of 20 modern electrically assisted bicycles. For fans of well-proven solutions, we have also made available 20 bicycles without such assistance.
Rest in Narusa is not only about land attractions but also the vast waters of the Vistula Lagoon. This year, we are adding to the water offer a motor yacht powered by electric energy and bodyboarding boards and jet skis.
All previously mentioned attractions will be available through a mobile application. It not only provides convenience for our Customers but also offers access to financial and statistical data and supports electronic transactions.
Our programming work is not limited to the application - an integral part of it is the predictive mechanism for forecasting tourist traffic in the region. This tool will allow us to respond in advance to the changing needs of the tourism market.
6 workshop telescopes and the care of an experienced astronomer are one of the directions Narusa is evolving in. The educational offer continues the tradition started by Nicolaus Copernicus. A professional telescope will allow us to become part of the global observation network! Cooperation with higher education institutions is just the beginning!
