The PhD Forum is open for all PhD-candidates affiliated with the Bjerknes Centre. The Bjerknes PhD Forum intends to create a community for international and Norwegian PhD students from different research areas during their time in Bergen. Our aim is to facilitate exchange among new and advanced PhD students as well as to distribute and preserve knowledge about “the way things work”.
We meet about once a month to network and discuss different aspects of the academic career and/or life in Bergen. Visiting PhD students and interns are welcome to join our activities.
The current PhD Forum board members are:
- Christian Hans Quintana Zagaceta - Christian.Zagaceta@uib.no
- Linda Latuta (contact person for new PhDs) - linda.latuta@uib.no
- Daniel Thomas (Leader spring 2024) - daniel.thomas@uib.no
- Daniel Gunning - Daniel.Gunning@uib.no
- Inès Ollivier - ines.ollivier@uib.no
- Torunn Sagen - torunn.sagen@uib.no
- Ina Nagler - ina.nagler@uib.no
Proposal writing class
Training and coaching for early career scientists at the Bjerknes Centre to develop and formulate own research ideas into successful project proposals.
The Bjerknes Center offers annually two different course formats to train Early Career Researchers in idea development and proposal writing. Common for both formats are that skills and competences are trained using the candidates’ own research ideas.
The outcomes for the participants are, in addition to acquired proposal writing skills, a project concept (Bjerknes proposal writing training 1 – Workshop), or a complete proposal ready for submission (Bjerknes proposal writing training 2 - Class).
