Reimbursement of field/lab activity related to the MSc thesis

All active master’s students in Geosciences are eligible to apply for financial support to cover field activities associated with their master’s thesis research.

Students enrolled in the master's programme in Geosciences and CS: Geoscience are invited to apply for a reimbursement of expenses up to NOK 15,000 (inclusive of VAT) for activities directly related to their master's thesis. Eligible expenses may cover fieldwork necessities such as accommodation, travel, meals, laboratory work, and related activities.

Should there be a need for analyses that the University of Oslo (UiO) cannot accommodate, students are permitted to engage external laboratories. It is crucial, however, to familiarise yourself with the specific procedures related to invoicing the UiO under these circumstances.

Please be aware that certain costs are exempt from reimbursement. These include the purchase of permanent equipment (e.g., compasses, shovels, machinery), conference fees, travel expenses to conferences, driving allowances, and travel and accommodation costs associated with study-related activities, such as courses at the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS).

While conference fees are generally not reimbursable under this scheme, they may be eligible for coverage through the Industrial Liaison fund within the Department of Geosciences. To access this fund (a login is required), your UiO supervisor must approve and submit an application on your behalf. Participation in this fund requires that the student present a scientific contribution. For further details, please contact the fund's administrator.

To begin the reimbursement procedure, kindly click on the button provided below and complete the necessary details. Subsequently, you will receive further guidance on submitting your reimbursement claim, including what documentation is needed. Please ensure that the questionnaire is duly filled out by the student themselves.
