UiS will support project applications which have gotten good evaluations from the Research council of Norway or EUs framework programs, but not achieved support. The University fund contributes with 25 million NOK, and UiS will match this with an equivalent amount. The board of directors for UiS has allocated extraordninary funds for the 2017 call.
ToppForsk-UiS will be able to finance 2-4 projects in 2017. Project leaders must be below 45 years old and able to display independent research, earlier applications for external funding and a good publication record. The project should preferably also correspond with the university’s strategy for prioritized research areas.
The full call and application form are available in the right column.
Deadline for applying ToppForsk-UiS for 2017 is April 10th 2017.
Please contact director of research Troels Gyde Jacobsen in the research and innovation department for questions on the program or call.
