Bjerknes Proposal Writing Workshop 2025 From idea to project: Writing successful project proposals

Tidspunkt

19. mai 2025, 07:00 - 20. mai 2025, 13:30

Sted

UiB Læringsarena, Nygårdsgaten 5, Bergen

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.

Norwegian Workshop on Machine Learning for Weather and Climate

The first machine learning (ML) weather forecasting models are now operational. These models are often superior to numerical weather forecasting models, and are much cheaper to run. These technological advances open up a range of research questions on the use of these models and their forecasts. The workshop will consist of presentations, a discussion and a tutorial on running an ML weather forecasting model yourself. We will have presentations on ML for weather forecasting and downscaling and a discussion on the new possibilities that come from the machine learning models. We are also inviting mini presentations from participants on ongoing work. Organisers: Sigrid Passano Hellan, NORCE and Bjerknes, sipa@norceresearch.no Olav Ersland, Norwegian Meteorological Institute, olave@met.no
