Technical and administrative staff

Technical and administrative staff at UiB can apply for financial support for skills development initiatives outside the university. Funds have been set aside for training at the faculties and in the central administration*. A prerequisite for support is that the individual unit covers a corresponding amount. A similar arrangement applies to the University Library and the University Museum in Bergen.

Applications must be sent to the immediate manager.

• Employees at units under a faculty send an application to the faculty secretariat.
• Employees at the University Library and the University Museum send applications to their administration.

Application form for funds for training

Scientific staff

The faculties organize support for academic staff, contact your local department administration for more information on financial support.

* Application for skills funding from the central administration

Technical and administrative employees in the central administration and at units other than those mentioned above send applications through ePhorte or Elements to the HR department. (The faculties, the University Library and Bergen Museum have their own funds. Employees who work here must contact their unit.)

​What can you apply to the central administration about?

Funds for skills development can be applied for based on the employee's wishes and the university's needs. The HR department can cover up to 50% of the course/conference fee. Amounts below NOK 3,000 will not be supported.

• We assume that the remaining course fees, materials, travel expenses and living expenses will be covered by agreement with the head of your own unit.

The application form for funds for training must be signed by the manager and sent through ePhorte or Elements to the HR department.

Application processing

Each case will be assessed individually. We cannot guarantee that everyone will be covered for course/conference fees.

UiB Opp is UiB's competence program to support the institution's growing need for research support, and for knowledge about external funding related to both research, education and innovation. The program is open to employees who want to develop in the fields of research support or external funding. The BOA team is responsible for the programme.

UiB Opp offers BOA courses at two levels within external funding and research support for employees. For more information about the courses, see the course page of UiB Opp (NO).
