Do you want to get time to communicate your research?
Apply by August 31st at the latest! The Communications department has received funds to distribute to give our researchers time during 2024 to communicate their research.
The funds for research communication is a three-year effort where money is distributed annually to finance time for researchers who want to spend more time communicating their research.
The Vice Chancellor stated in November 2022 that the funds should primarily "be used to stimulate extraordinary, strategic or innovative efforts that require a lot of time in both implementation and planning."
Annual announcement
The funds can be used to make short, quick support efforts based on "opportunities" that are identified during the year, but also distributed in an annual call. This is our annual call for 2024.
The assignment to the Communications department also includes prioritizing applications with a connection to Barnens universitet.
During 2023 a total of 14 researchers have been given extra time to communicate their research, varieing between 10–20% and during two to six months.
With this "early call" we hope to minimise the risk of collisions in schedule planning for next year.
Are you interested?
When applying we want you to describe how you want to use your time and why you want increased space to communicate your research. Try to be as specific as possible.
Once you have submitted your application, we would like you to inform your head of department to simplify our further handling of your application.
