Description
The Research Council of Norway offers supplementary funding for research stays abroad by doctoral and postdoctoral fellows attached to ongoing Council-funded projects. Certain FRIPRO-funded early-career project managers are also eligible. Run as a Coordination and Support Activity focused on internationalisation, the scheme aims to increase the proportion of young researchers gaining international experience.
The stays should strengthen research careers and Norwegian research by building competence, bringing new knowledge into the main project, developing networks and improving access to the international research frontier. Funding supports the overseas stay allowance and specified travel, visa and tuition costs at a foreign host institution. Applications must explain the stay’s objectives, choice of host and added value for the main project or the fellow’s professional development.
