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.

Ocean Science Bar, Sea Level Change, One Tide at a Time?

Welcome to Ocean Science Bar Thursday 22nd of May at 1900 in Statsraaden Bar & Reception!  

(Note the change of date - we normally have Ocean Science Bar the last Thursday of the month but had to make an exception here)

 

Bergen at the turning point: Sea Level Change, One Tide at a Time?

How much has the sea around Bergen risen recently? Is it going to keep rising – and how fast? And what does Greenland have to do with it? Sea level isn’t as steady as it might seem. It moves, slowly but surely. The factors driving these changes are complex, and understanding them is key to knowing what’s ahead for Bergen.

 

In this talk, Konstanze Haubner (University of Bergen, SEAS fellow) and Kristin Richter (NORCE) explore how and why the ocean is slowly reshaping the Norwegian coast. Drawing on research focused on regions like Greenland and Western Norway, they reveal the forces behind sea level change - and what it means for Bergen.

 

Join us for a talk and a pint, meet colleagues and get an update on the latest ocean research - welcome to all! Please help spread the word in your group.

Den store bredagen

Forskning og friluftsliv - for deg med hjarte for breen

Breane smeltar verda over. 
Bli med på ei rundreise til verdas brear, forsking på breane og til debatt om korleis friluftsliv og turisme går i hop med bevaring av breane våre. 
 

Programmet er under utarbeiding - merk deg dagen!
Programmet blir hovudsakleg på norsk

2025 er av FN utnemnt som Det internasjonale breåret, for å skaffe merksemd om bevaring av breane i alle verdsdeler.
