The Bjerknes Visiting Fellow programme (BVF) aims to promote cooperation in climate research with outstanding scientists and research institutions both at the national and international levels. BVP supports travel and accommodation expenses of visits of maximum 1 month duration. The programme was launched in 2002, funded by the CoE grant from the Research Council of Norway to the Bjerknes Centre. Thanks to this, more than 200 scientists from 26 countries have had the chance to interact with the climate research community in Bergen during the past decade. The outcome of such visits has been multiple and diverse, e.g. joint scientific publications, preparatory work and/or writing of proposals in connection to calls for grants, staff/student mobility and joint student supervision.
