Do you need support for an interdisciplinary Ocean event?

UiB is, together with several public and private actors, a partner in ‘One Ocean City Bergen’. It organises the One Ocean Week (OOW), an annual event for debate, meetings, workshops and activities related to the sustainable use of the ocean. This year´s OOW takes place on 13-19 April. Check the tentative program here. 

UiB-Ocean is responsible for several events, including a seminar on the North Sea on Wednesday 17 April, and events at Litteraturhuset and at Statsraaden Bar & Reception. Researchers and students at UiB are encouraged to participate in this event as well as to activitely contribute to the OOW programme by organizing meetings and other activities. 

Do you have ideas for content, speakers or activities? Depending on the level of interest, UiB-Ocean will help finding available venues, and might also contribute financially, for example, to cover rental expenses. Please submit a proposal via this form by the deadline Wednesday 21 February 2024. 

Everyone is free to organize meetings and or activities and have them included in the OOW App run by the Municipality of Bergen. But if you need any help or support from UiB-Ocean, this deadline should be met.

NO MORE MONEY LEFT FOR SUPPORT IN 2024.

One of the purposes of UiB-Ocean is to stimulate interdisciplinary collaboration internally at UiB and with other marine actors in the region. Do you have something you would like to do that fits this purpose? 

We expect to be able to support 8-10 interdisciplinary ocean related projects up to maximum 50 000 kroner. Applications are to be submitted via this form. There is no deadline and proposals will be processed until the budget is used up.

Since this year’s focus of UiB-Ocean is the ‘North Sea’, applications related to this are especially welcomed. The same applies to applications that promote interdisciplinary grant proposals to, for example, the Research Council of Norway or Horizon Europe.
