Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI) and the University of Bergen (UiB) have a longstanding collaboration agreement to strengthen development-related research in Bergen. We are now inviting applications for 2019-2020, to promote research collaboration between our two institutions. Applications must include researchers in permanent positions at both institutions and must be based in research groups at both institutions. In addition, all scientific staff mentioned in the application by name should be asked about their involvement and plan to be actively involved in the project.
The thematic areas of the application need to reflect the strategies of both CMI and UiB. New, preferably cross-disciplinary, collaborations within these strategic priority thematic areas are encouraged. The collaboration funds are intended to be used for activities that aim to initiate new activities and relations beyond the activity mentioned in the application (such as new applications to the Norwegian Research Council or EU Funding). It must be clearly stated in the application how the project will contribute to such broader objectives.
If applications include funding for seminars and/or workshops or other joint activities we encourage using our common area of dissemination, Bergen Global.
A short project brief with a budget must be written on the attached form (maximum 2 pages) together with a CV for the project manager and e-mailed to tore.satersdal@uib.no (entitled: Collaboration Funds CMI-UiB 2019) within June 10th. 2019. Applications may have costs between NOK 50.000 to NOK 200.0000. The UiB/CMI cooperation committee (Samarbeidsutvalget) will evaluate the applications.
