The Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry offers grants for research stays abroad for postdoctoral fellows and other scientific staff. The purpose of the grant is to cover initial and additional expenditures in connection with research-related stays abroad. It is also possible to apply for travel expenses to be covered. Research grants are given for stays abroad lasting from 3 to 12 months.

Announcement and application form can be found here.

Deadlines: 1 March and 1 October.

The announcement of research grants only applies to postdoctoral fellows at the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Bergen, that are financed by the University/Faculty of Medicine. Postdoctoral fellows can apply for a maximum of NOK 100.000. In addition, we encourage to (regardless of funding) also apply for financial support through other sources.

The Research Council of Norway has its own scholarship base for researcher mobility which gives a brief presentation of mobility grant from the Research Council and other actors. Read more here.

Externally financed postdoctoral fellow positions must apply for support through their respective financial sources (e.g NFR, Helse Vest, Innovest, Kreftforeningen).
