In spring 2011, the Norwegian Centres of Excellence (SFF) scheme will be in focus, with a call for proposals for establishing new centres from 2013. Forskning magazine offers a look at the call and the SFF scheme itself. The issue also features a piece on the Centre for Molecular Biology and Neuroscience (CMBN), which over its eight-year history as an SFF centre has made great strides in enhancing understanding of conditions such as stroke, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
