Main supervisors of PhD candidates who defended their thesis in 2025 may receive compensation from Helse Vest if the candidate has either carried out at least 50% of the work at a health enterprise or received funding from there.

In 2024, UiB launched an ERC Starting Grant Development Programme. This programme will continue in 2026, and a new round is being initiated for researchers planning to apply for the ERC Starting Grant call in autumn 2026. The programme supports ERC Starting Grant applicants through three phases: concept development, project development, and proposal writing. Two seminars are planned (March and April), as well as a writing seminar in June. K2 will send a list of interested candidates to the faculty by 18 February. Those interested are asked to contact kurt.hanevik@uib.no.
