Norway's FHI faces 100M NOK budget cut in 2027, may trigger downsizing

The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (FHI) has been instructed to cut 100 million NOK from its 2027 budget, according to acting director Elisabet E. Storvoll. The institute has not received details on where cuts should be made, and staff representatives warn that operational savings alone may be insufficient, potentially leading to downsizing. This signals a shift in government funding priorities for public health institutions, though the broader policy context remains unclear.
