The programme for co-financing of junior professorships provides funding to reduce the salary differences between job offers outside of Norway and the salary offered for some junior positions in macroeconomics and financial economics at academic institutions in Norway.

The programme has been established to strengthen the ability of academic institutions in Norway to recruit in highly competitive, international markets for academic personnel, targeting individual new recruits with high potential for excellence in research and teaching in financial economics.
