Proposal reading sessions for early stage researchers - day 3 of 3

In these low key sessions some of our UiB grant holders have generously shared their funding applications, so that you can familiarize yourself with the proposal genre and the differences between some of the grants that target early career scientists. Some sessions will have introductions by former grant winners at UiB, but first and foremost this is a chance to sit down in peace and quiet to skim through different types of funding proposals, under the following conditions:

• You may not make copies or photograph any proposal or it's content
• You may not take any proposals out of the assigned room
• You may take notes in a notebook or an electronic device (i.e. laptop, mac)

Pre-registration is required: https://forms.office.com/e/WuTtEWZDfW (the same registration form applies for all sessions on 8 to10 April).

We offer multiple proposal reading sessions across the campus. The same proposals are available in all sessions. Due to limited seating, please select the session that fits your schedule best. Places will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis. If none of the options mentioned below are suitable for you, or you simply would like to read more proposals, we will also offer a drop-in session on 10 April between 13.30 and 15.30 (Nygårdsgaten 5, Nordre Allmenning 3).
