Main content

The purpose of the career program is to give extra value and support to the TMF Starting Grant holders, to build their career as researchers at the University of Bergen.

The candidates will get insight into research group management, how to organize their activities strategically, communication and other important aspects of building a strong research career, such as budgeting, innovation or research communication.

Network across the diciplines

"The goal is to strengthen these excellent young researchers' career development. At the same time, we want to facilitate network-building across the university's diciplines. This network will include both the current grantees听working on their projects, and the researchers who have finished their projects and are now in other positions at the university", says Rector Margareth Hagen .

Hagen adds that even if the grantee group's research听cover many different topics,听 the new candidates have many common experiences and challenges, being granted the opportunity to build and lead their own research group at the university. A mentoring scheme will also be set up to support听all the candidates.

Science Advisory Committee
