Workshop & Seminar with Claire Monteleoni - 13 March 2025
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that Claire Monteleoni (https://project.inria.fr/arches/claire-monteleoni/) will be visiting us on Thursday, 13 March 2025. During her visit, she will give a Bjerknes seminar at 13:30.
Prior to the seminar, we are organizing an informal workshop to foster exchanges with Claire on the following topics: Sub-to seasonal forecasts and extremes using AI, Generative models and Hybrid physics/AI approaches.
The workshop will take place on the same day, 13 March, from 09:00 to 12:00. We plan to have short presentations of 15 minutes each from Bjerknes researchers, followed by discussions.
If you are interested in attending this workshop or would like to present your work, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/myt5jb6HwBqMfRMj7
before Friday 7th March
We look forward to your participation
Best regards,

Bjerknes Proposal Writing Workshop 2025 From idea to project: Writing successful project proposals
Registration deadline: 24.04.2025
Link for registration: https://forms.office.com/e/GA2YrAYWjP
Venue: UiB Læringsarena, Nygårdsgaten 5, Bergen
Workshop leaders: Friederike U. Hoffmann, Research coordinator at GFI and EU expert evaluator; Nadine Goris, Researcher and research adviser at NORCE; Catherine Downy, Research adviser at NERSC
Credit point: 1 (ECTS)
Maximum number of participants: 15
Target group is early career scientists (Post Doc, early career researchers, PhD) in climate sciences with little or no experience in proposal writing. The workshop targets both those who already have a concrete project idea and a plan to write a proposal, and those who want to gain general proposal writing and project development skills.
The workshop will enable you to apply for external funding of your own research. You will learn how to develop a research idea into a draft for a successful research project proposal.
Using your own research ideas, you will learn:
how to present a project idea shortly and concisely (pitch presentation)
how to develop and sharpen your research idea
how to plan and structure a draft proposal
how to develop the different components of the draft proposal
how to draft a project budget
where you can apply for funding
The course includes lectures, group work and plenary discussion. During the workshop, the participants will develop the project ideas of 3 participants into ready-to-use draft proposals.
Priorities if the workshop is overbooked: 1. Bjerknes members with project ideas, 2. Bjerknes members without project ideas, 3. Non-Bjerknes members with project ideas. For PhD students: this workshop makes the most sense if you are in the 3rd (or 4th) year of your PhD. PhD students in their 1st or 2nd year will not be prioritized – unless they are working on a proposal, such as for a travel grant, support for events, etc. In this case, please indicate this in your registration.
