Step 1:
First you will have to register for individual courses directly on the organizing university website. If you are reading this after the deadline you can only attend the courses without getting the credits.
Step 2:
Only for academic candidates. For registering for summer school you will have to register here . (mandatory)
NORA will provide up to NOK 2500 of financial support to the candidates from NORA partner institutes only, who attend the course to cover their travel and stay.
