In 2019, impact was introduced as one of three criteria when the Research Council of Norway assesses applications. 

During the application process, the following areas are assessed:

  • Potential for impacts and effects on research, society and trade and industry
  • Plans for sharing knowledge and implementing research results

In other words, you do not only have to be able to write a good application but also demonstrate that you are able to communicate your research in a way that reaches relevant target groups.

To help you out, the Postdoctoral Programme now organises its third leadership course on impact and research communication.

Register by 1st of August 2021.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

  • Find relevant funding opportunities and get an overview of their requirements.
  • Write an application 
  • Approach a call and be able to set up a scientific proposal.
  • Write an abstract
  • Compile a good CV
  • Collaborate with peers when writing applications
  • Understand impact and dissemination
  • Make plans on communication regarding funding and projects
  • Disseminate research through social media
  • Be visible in the public dialogue

The Head of Postgraduate Studies, Eivind Engebretsen, says:

“We have seen the need for a while and have been working hard for several years to put together a programme that will help you win funding allocations.”

The first course starts already at 25th of August and the location is Scandic Fornebu.

“The course will enable you to stand on your own two feet when it comes to applications and dissemination, and we can hardly wait to get started”, says Engebretsen, Vice-Dean of Postgraduate Studies.
