Since the times of the late H.-P. Lorange, the Norvegian Institute in Athens is one of the most important research centres for classical archaeologiats!

The institute must not be closed as it would be the loss of an important spot for researchers working on ancient Athens and Greece. Don't cut culture funding!

The Norwegian Institute is an important part of the history of archaeology and research in Rome and part of a big family of other foreign archaeological institutes in Rome.

Because the Norwegian Institute at Athens is an important Norwegian cultural and intellectual asset, the loss of which would be quite unfortunate, not just for Norwegian students and their access to the Classical Heritage of the West.

The Norwegian Institute at Athens is a renowned resarch institution which furthers the reputation of Norway not only in Greece but within the whole academic, cultural and diplomatic community. Closing (or chronically underfunding) it would be a unforgiveable loss both to these constitutencies and Norwegian cultural reputation.

All institutes which take care of culture and cultural heritage are priceless! It is the duty of each government to take care of such institutions and a direct sign of their idea of civilization and leadership if they take care or not.

because Norwegian Institute is doing a significant scientific work. Culture and humanities will be poorer without it

The knowledge of our European past and the continuity of research in Greece and Italy are necessary for our common future.

We should stay connected in Europe: Culture, archaeology and sciences in general are links between today states and cultures. Very often they are the first and the last diplomats in the countries. Institutions like the Norwegian Institute in Athens are built up within decades. To destroy this work for short austerity measures will be a great loss.

Griechenland ist die kulturelle Wiege Europas, und jedes Volk in Europa sollte die Verbindungen pflegen. Norwegen war und ist da sehr erfolgreich, und es wäre eine Tragödie und Schande, wenn ein so reiches Land, das lange kulturelle Traditionen hat, nun die Verbindungen abbrechen will..

The NIA is an incredibly valuable institution, and critical hub for international as well as Norwegian research in Greece. I have come to greatly respect the work of the school and the calibre of the scholars who come through it. The NIA has also facillated my own research as a PhD student working in Greece. To lose such a valuable and valued institute and research resource would be a grim day for global scholarship and a great loss for Norway and its international standing in the international academic community that flows through Greece and Athens.

NIA har potensiale som et brohode mot ignoranse på norsk -- og for brobygging internasjonalt.

I'm interested in the history of Naxos, and Apalirou was a very
important place during the medioeval period.
And also because Norwegians are
nice people.

A modern European democracy needs a few communal luxuries to lift the collective spirit, such as a royal family, an opera house, and an institute in Rome AND Athens. Let's not get all "penny wise, pound foolish" here.
