MSCA COFUND 2022: Webinar about Co-funding of programmes for doctoral and post-doctoral candidates

Norwegian R&I institutions can strengthen their programmes for doctoral and post-doctoral training through the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions COFUND action. This webinar is primarily directed towards decision makers at institutional level and others who would like to have extra funding for early-career fellowship programmes.

Co-financing of programmes is not widely used or known, or what the COFUND activity under MSCA entails. During the webinar, you will get a grip on whether COFUND is an opportunity for your institution. The agenda of the meeting is basically two presentations plus Q&A. The first speaker is COFUND Call Coordinator at the EC Research Executive Agency (REA) Alexandra Goncalves Pedersen who will inform of the call 2022. Next up is Marine Director Amund Måge from the University of Bergen who will speak of their experience with planning a proposal, applying for and get funded and then implement the project "SEAS". Finally, there will be a question-and-answer session.
