2023-2024 Call for Proposals from the Peder Sather Center for Advanced Study at UC Berkeley

Dear Colleagues:

The Peder Sather Center for Advanced Study supports projects carried out by researchers at UC Berkeley in collaboration with researchers from eight Norwegian universities. The Center offers grants between $10K and $25K. Funds are made available for two academic years.

Grants can support activities such as workshops, mini-conferences, virtual intellectual exchanges, the undertaking of exploratory and pilot studies, activities such as PhD student exchanges, longer-term stays for Principal Investigators, the collection and analysis of data, and other core research activities.

Interested applicants should visit the Proposal Application Guidelines on the Peder Sather Center Website. All application materials must be submitted by the deadline of April 3, 2023.

Eligibility
Eligible collaborating applicants from both UC Berkeley and Norwegian consortium institutions must be in contact with one another prior to applying for funds, and have a letter of collaboration commitment signed by both parties. There must be at least one Principal Investigator from UC Berkeley and one from a Norwegian consortium institution.

Principal Investigators from UC Berkeley must be ladder-rank faculty (i.e. hold Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor titles); no substitutions may be made. Principal Investigators from Norwegian consortium institutions must hold the position of either postdoktor (on the condition that the individual is able to document consistent employment at the consortium institution for the duration of the project), førsteamanuensis or professor (i.e. hold positions equivalent to Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor titles in the US).

Members of research teams who are not Principal Investigators themselves can hold other positions such as lecturer, visiting scholar, postdoctoral fellow, or graduate student. In order to receive indirect funding, however, research team members must be affiliated in some way with the participating institutions. Non-affiliated team members are not eligible to receive direct or indirect support from the Center.

Best regards,
The Peder Sather Center for Advanced Study

MSCA Staff Exchanges – Webinar

The MSCA staff exchange action funds short-term international and inter-sectoral exchanges of staff members involved in research and innovation activities of participating organisations. The aim is to develop sustainable collaborative projects between different organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors, based in Europe and beyond.

The webinar wil be held on 14 December 09:30 – 11:00, and with contribution from the Research Executive Agency (REA) and a testimony from SINTEF, who is work package leader in the project “DISCO2 STORE”. The call itself has a deadline on 8. March 2023.

Why take part in the webinar? Well for one, the success rates have been encouraging at 25ish %. The action is completely bottom-up and open to all disciplines, and is mainly focused on the mobility and the transfer of knowledge. The diversity in projects is big, and although traditionally dominated by projects within the realms of the engineering panel, projects from the SSH and life sciences are most welcome. This scheme simply allows for fruitful collaborations with colleagues in other sectors and parts of the world.

Time/Place:  14 Dec 09:30 – 11:00; Digital: Live streaming, video recording will be available
