Proposals for the Falch Lecture 2025
The academic communities at the institutes are hereby invited to submit proposals for the Falch Lecture 2025.
The framework for the award is NOK 40,000 to cover fees and travel and accommodation expenses. A cost estimate should be attached to the application. Multiple awards may be possible.
Guidelines for the Falch Lecture
- The proposer is the Board, which can invite generally recognized researchers at Nobel Prize level or very high international level to give a guest lecture and/or seminar at the Faculty of Medicine.
- The Board can invite employees to submit proposals and document their research efforts. Criteria may include publication in prestigious scientific journals, international awards, leadership roles in significant and active international scientific associations and conferences.
- The Falch lecturer should preferably have collaborated with or contributed in some way to the research activities at the Faculty of Medicine. However, this is not a requirement to propose a candidate.
- The Falch Lecture should preferably take place with the physical presence of the lecturer but can also be conducted via digital media.
- The Falch lecturer will be awarded a diploma to mark the event.
Proposals should be sent to okonomi@med.uib.no by 8/12 2024 and will be reviewed by the Board of the Consul Søren Falch and Ophthalmologist Sigurd Falch’s Fund for Medical Science.
