The Modernization of the Police Training Center project provides space for education of the Police of the Czech Republic

#OurStories - On the outskirts of Kutná Hora in central Bohemia, the most modern Training centre of the Police of the Czech Republic was established in our country. Thanks to funding from Norway grants, the abandoned military barracks have become a top-level facility that serves not only to train police officers, but also public administration employees and other departments. Modern educational facility, an outdoor training polygon according to NATO standards, and openness to external institutions make this Centre unique in the entire Czech Republic.

EEA AND NORWAY GRANTS

The EEA and Norway Grants are financial mechanisms through which Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway contribute to reducing economic and social disparities across Europe while strengthening cooperation with beneficiary countries. The Czech Republic has been receiving support from these funds since 2004.

On 4 November 2025, the Memoranda of Understanding for the new programme period 2021–2028 were signed. During this period, the Czech Republic will receive an additional CZK 5.5 billion through the EEA and Norway Grants. Since 2004, more than 1,900 projects have been supported in the Czech Republic, with a total allocation exceeding CZK 11 billion.

New website for the 2021–2028 programme period

A new official EEA and Norway Grants Czechia website has been launched for the current programme period. It is part of a unified web platform used by all beneficiary countries participating in the EEA and Norway Grants.

The new website has been developed in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Mechanism Office (FMO) and follows a common visual identity shared by all beneficiary countries. It also meets modern standards for accessibility and responsive design, ensuring an optimal user experience across mobile phones, tablets and desktop devices.

This website is no longer being updated and is maintained solely as an archive of information relating to previous programme periods.
