New proposal writing class: develop your proposal idea now!
The class is now open for registration. Please follow this LINK .
Registration deadline is 15.09.2020.
The class is planned to run on Tuesdays 10:30 – 12:00. After registration, we will check whether this slot fits most participants, and find alternatives if needed.
The class meetings start in week 40 (from Oct 04). See the planned schedule. attached.
Participants should have a clear intention to submit a proposal in 2022. When the class starts, they should have made a decision which call they are going to apply for. If you are not sure yet, please contact us so we can help you find a relevant call.
In the class we will have a special focus on the NFR funding schemes Researcher Projects for: Young Research Talents, International Mobility and Scientific Renewal, with call deadline in Feb 2022. In-depth information on NFR evaluation criteria, proposal templates, and CV templates will be central. This class is also open for scientists who plan to submit a proposal to other NFR funding schemes, as well as to other deadlines and funding schemes in 2022, such as for example MSCA IF or ERC StG, and lectures will be modified according to the participants needs. There will be no other hands-on proposal writing class offered before October 2022, but the annual 2-day CHESS proposal writing workshop will be held in Spring 2022 for those who are not ready to develop a full proposal now.
ERC StG applicants should have a sketch/pitch of their proposal idea ready already in August 2021, in order to join specific mentoring and support programs by NFR (and UiB, for UiB employees only).

PhD-Forum Election BBQ (04th June 2021)
Last Friday, nearly 30 Bjerknes-PhD students met in Nygårdsparken and scared away the rain. For more than two years now, Sonja, Elina, and Maaike have run the Ph.D. Forum with great motivation and commitment – but time has come for a change, and the forum gathered to elect a new leader board. CHESS sponsored a nice BBQ (with half of us eating vegetarian!). After welcoming some new Ph.D.’s that made their way across the Norwegian borders during the last few weeks, we were in a good discussion mood and ready to find the new board members. In the next year (or two?) the PhD-Forum will be led by
Vår Dundas (official Bjerknes student representative, GFI), Anna-Marie Strehl (GFI), Jakob Dörr (GFI), Karl Purcell (GEO), Maaike Zwier (BIO) & Paul Halas (GEO)
We, the 'new' leader board, thank our predecessors very much for their great work and organization in the last years!
New and old members of the board: Sonja, Vår, Jakob, Elina, Anna-Marie, Karl and Paul. (Maaike unfortunately not in this photo since she is on Svalbard)
We plan to organize both informative and science-related events, and to provide an arena for PhD students to meet in more informal ways during outdoor events. We are on the way to post-corona life (fingers crossed), and we, as a board, plan to make up for lost time. We hope that a good balance and regular activities will strengthen the community, lead to good integration, and hopefully lead to long-term networks as well.
Anna-Marie Strehl

The Bjerknes PhD Forum is open for all PhDs affiliated with the Bjerknes Centre.
The 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.
