Happy Holidays
UiB idé has launched its second edition for 2022. UiB idé gives employees and students the opportunity to apply for support to test and develop good innovation ideas.
New in 2022: There is a possibility to seek minor support for clarification purposes of early innovation ideas.
The maximum funding amount is NOK 500,000 for researcher projects, and NOK 100,000 for student projects. The program budget is NOK 2,000,000.
Both researchers and students can also apply for a maximum of NOK 25 000 from UiB tidleg idé (UiB early idea), which aims very early projects, that later can qualify for the maximum amount. You can apply for UiB tidleg idé throughout the year, as there is no application deadline.
The application deadline for main projects will be March 15, 2022.
The program website has all relevant information:
NO: Har du ein god idé? Søk støtte! | Forsknings- og innovasjonsavdelingen | UiB
ENG: Do you have a good idea? Seek support! | Division of Research and Innovation | UiB
On 6 January, you can join a webinar about the application form, where the NRC goes through the form and answers questions along the way. The webinar is suitable for anyone who are going to submit applications, but is especially aimed at the calls for research organizations with a deadline in February. The webinar is held in Norwegian.
Read more about the program and registration here.
Registration deadline: Thusday 6 January at 10.00.
You can now create an application for the announcements with a deadline in February 2022.
The NRC has seven calls for research organizations with a deadline of February 2022. The three calls for Research Project have a deadline of 2 February and the four calls for Competence and Collaboration projects have deadline 9 February.

Do you want to learn more about EU’s funding for research and innovation? Horizon Europe provides opportunities for researchers in all fields and at all career stages.
UiB invites all researchers at UiB to participate in this event, where you will receive information and get the opportunity to ask questions about the funding instruments and processes of Horizon Europe.
Horizon Europe supports a wide range of research and innovation activities, including basic and applied research, innovation projects, and networking activities, and provides funding and opportunities for researchers in all fields and at all career stages.
The program is published at this website. Adjustments may occur.
Julia Schmidt is part of the COntaminated Micro/nanoPlastics on the food safety of FISH (CoMPFish) project led by Associate Professor Wei Wang. The project is concerned with the study of the interaction between micro/nanoplastics and contaminants and their combined toxicity in fish. The project relies on collaboration with the College of Life Science and Technology, Xinjiang University, China and NORCE Norwegian Research Centre AS, Bergen, Norway.
Julia completed her B.Sc. in Environmental Sciences at the University of Greifswald, Germany in microbial ecology. This was followed by her M.Sc. in Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Oldenburg, Germany. For her master thesis she participated in the GAME (Global Approach of Modular Experiments) training program at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany. She investigated whether natural and plastic microparticles differ in their effects on the performance of marine benthic filter feeders (Mytilus edulis). To investigate this, she has been at both Bogor Agricultural University, Indonesia, and GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany.
Det inviteres til skrivekurs i samarbeid med redaksjonen i Forskning.no.

Kursleder: Eivind Lauritsen, kronikkansvarlig i Forskning.no
Sted: UiBs lokaler i MediaCityBergen (MCB), Lars Hilles gate 30.
Målet med kurset er å sette deltakerne i stand til å skrive kronikk eller populærvitenskapelig tekst for avis, blad eller nettsteder som forskning.no og Aftenposten Viten.
Kurset holdes på norsk. Alle deltakere må forplikte seg til å sende inn utkast til tekst, som vil bli gjennomgått i løpet av kursdagen. Deltakerne vil få videre oppfølging av teksten etter kurset. Målet er publisering på forskning.no.
Deltakerne vil lære mer om:
Ingen kursavgift. Lunsj er inkludert. Vi ønsker at deltakelsen speiler hele fakultetet. Forbehold om venteliste ved stor interesse.

Dette er et sammendrag av noen nøkkelpunkter i utlysningen. Dersom du planlegger å om søke SPIRE-midler, finner du hele utlysningen i TEAMS her.
SPIRE har som mål å støtte opp om UiBs strategi og handlingsplan for internasjonalisering 2016-2022.
Hvem kan søke:
Det kan søkes om SPIRE-midler i 2 kategorier
Kategori 1: SPIRE-midler for internasjonalt forskningssamarbeid
Merk at disse midlene denne gangen kun skal brukes til frikjøp av forskere/postdocs som jobber med søknader til NFR, Nordforsk og andre eksterne finansieringskilder (ikke til Horisont Europa). Bruk av eksterne konsulenter som UiB har samarbeid med kan også vurderes. Søknadene som utarbeides skal føre til nye internasjonale forskningssamarbeid.
Det kan søkes om inntil 200.000 kr per prosjekt.
Merk: All frikjøp må først avklares av instituttleder før det kan søkes om støtte til dette formålet.
Kategori 2: SPIRE gjesteforskermidler
Disse midlene kan dekke kostnader (reise, innlosjering, kost, transport) med å invitere en utenlandsk gjesteforsker for et opphold på 1,2 eller 3 måneder. Det legges ingen begrensninger på land og samarbeidspartnere.
Søknadsfrist for SPIRE-midler for 2022 er: 1. desember 2021.
Maler til søknadsskjema og sluttrapport finnes her.
Søknaden sendes som pdf-fil på e-post til Hege på hege.ommedal@uib.no
Dersom instituttet har flere søknader innen den enkelte kategori, skal søknadene rangeres av instituttet.
