The Norwegian Artistic Research Fellowship Programme was established in 2003. In 2018 the programme became part of the Norwegian Agency for Internation Cooperation and Quality Enhancement in Higher Education, which is now the Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills. In 2018 the first Ph.D. programme in artistic research was established by the Norwegian Academy of Music, followed by similar programmes in several other institutions.

University of the Arts London - Central Saint Martins:
An inspiration when preparing to establish the Norwegian programme:
- Art and design practices are intellectual pursuits in their own right not requiring translation to other terms in order to have sense and coherence.
- Art and design works embody «meaning» through their interior symbolic languages and syntax (formal organisation).
- Art and design works embody «meaning» through their discursive relationship to other works in their field and their corresponding cultural positions.
- Art and design works can be read by those trained in the subject in the same way that, for example, mathematicians read mathematics or philosophers read philosophy.
NIna Malterud played an important role in the establishing of the Norwegian Artistic Research Programme in 2003, and Trond Lossius was among the first fellows starting in the programme the same year. In this conversation, they talk about the start up period and what the establishing of the PhD programmes in 2018 mean to the artistic research field (recorded January, 6, 2021).
