UiO:Energy and Environment sees the promotion of increased international mobility as a research-promoting and competence-enhancing initiative.
UiO: Energy and Environment has defined four main research areas across the university and the funding for the activities for which funding is applied for should be thematically placed under one or more of these. You will find the four main research areas on this webpage.
Open ended application deadline.
Who can apply?
Master students, PhD students and researchers at UiO may apply for short term stays abroad in 2024. Priority will be given to students or young researchers, but full time researchers may also apply for funding for travels of strategic value.
What can you apply funding for?
Students/fellows/researchers at UiO may apply for grants covering research and competence-increasing activities or attendance at relevant conferences abroad, or, courses or short-term visits to international research groups lasting from two to eight weeks. We also support visits from international researchers/students to UiO to foster international collaborations, but the applicant must be employee at UiO. The proposed activity should take place within 12 months of submitting the application.
Applications for longer visits may be considered, although these cannot expect to be fully financed. For Personal Overseas Research Grants ranging from 3-12 months, we kindly ask that you consider applying for funds at the Research Council of Norway or Erasmus. We encourage all applicants to also apply for Erasmus+ funding if relevant.
