Announcement – Marie Sklodowska-Curie, Individual Fellowships (MSCA-IF)
About the program
The announcement for MSCA-IF is now open with a deadline 11 September 2019. The program supports talented and promising early stage researchers and applicants can come from around the world. MSCA-IF is open to all scientific disciplines with a bottom-up approach meaning that the applicant decides the research theme for the project. Two types of stipend exist, one where applicants can come to UiB for two years and another where researchers can travel to institutions outside Europe for two years and come back to UiB the third year.
Further information about the program can be found on the following pages: Guide for Applicants and Funding and Tenders Opportunities Portal.
FA offers MSCA-IF course
The Division of Research Management at UiB is, together with the faculties, in the process of setting up a plan for how to support researchers in the preparation of the application. A one-day course for MSCA-IF applicants and their mentors is scheduled on 28 May at 09.00-16.00. Here is la link to the application form for the course and the course program.
The course will be streamed via a Webinar and you will be able to participate online even if you have not signed up for the course in time or cannot come to Bergen.
UiB would like to have an overview of potential applicants in order to organize the application process. If you have relevant candidates please send an e-mail to amra.grudic@uib.no by 19 May.

This week’s editorial
Since the New Year I have been involved, along with representatives of all the faculties of the university, in the drafting of an action plan for innovation for the university of Bergen. This work concluded on the 30th of April and will now be presented to the rektotrate for approval. It’s clear from the commitment to this project that innovation will now percolate into all facets of university life from teaching through research. While some might have grave reservations in this direction, believing we are abandoning the fundamental tenants of a university, it maybe that this is down to how exactly one defines “innovation”. Indeed, the committee that helped put this report together naturally had very different ideas as to what innovation was and how it should be implemented across each of the faculties. The Oslo manual 2018 manual on Guidelines for Collecting, Reporting and Using Data on Innovation defines Innovation as:
“a new or improved product or process (or combination thereof) that differs significantly from the unit’s previous products or processes and that has been made available to potential users (product) or brought into use by the unit (process)”.
In this context, innovation is not necessarily selling ones soul to corporate research, but implementing change for the betterment of society – which is in essence what most of us are trying to achieve within biomedical research. It will be interesting to see how this rolls out across the university, and the potential funding opportunities it will afford.
Finally, the biomedical network will have a meeting on “Drug Repurposing” to be held at bikuben, haukeland university hospital on June 7thfrom 12-16:00.

(Norwegian) Utlysning av forskningsmidler fra Gades Legat
Gades Legat lyser ut midler til anvendelse i forskning innen patologi, mikrobiologi og immunologi. Alle som er faglig tilknyttet forskningsmiljø ved UiB eller Haukeland Universitetssykehus innen patologi, immunologi eller mikrobiologi kan søke om midler. Søknad skal være kortfattet og inneholde:
- Navn på søker og arbeidssted
- Navn og kort beskrivelse av prosjektet det søkes om midler til
- Budsjett
- Søknad skal totalt ikke overskride 2 sider
Legatet har i senere år tildelt beløp i størrelsesorden 20-100 000 kr, men større tildelinger kan vurderes. Støtte til reiser der man ikke formidler/presenterer egen forskning vil ikke bli prioritert.
