As today’s researchers have to navigate within an international work place, it is essential to greate international networks. Twice a year ResClim has provided travel grants for for scientific events as well as for short research stays at partner institutes.

Since the research school was inaugurated in March 2009, the school has  granted 95 PhD students a total of 2,5 MNOK for research stays, international courses and conferences, as well as covering expenses for equipment, travel for field and laboratory work.
