Bjerknes Proposal Writing Workshop 2025 From idea to project: Writing successful project proposals
Registration deadline: 24.04.2025 Link for registration: https://forms.office.com/e/GA2YrAYWjP Venue: UiB Læringsarena, Nygårdsgaten 5, Bergen Workshop leaders: Friederike U. Hoffmann, Research coordinator at GFI and EU expert evaluator; Nadine Goris, Researcher and research adviser at NORCE; Catherine Downy, Research adviser at NERSC Credit point: 1 (ECTS) Maximum number of participants: 15 Target group is early career scientists (Post Doc, early career researchers, PhD) in climate sciences with little or no experience in proposal writing. The workshop targets both those who already have a concrete project idea and a plan to write a proposal, and those who want to gain general proposal writing and project development skills. The workshop will enable you to apply for external funding of your own research. You will learn how to develop a research idea into a draft for a successful research project proposal. Using your own research ideas, you will learn: how to present a project idea shortly and concisely (pitch presentation) how to develop and sharpen your research idea how to plan and structure a draft proposal how to develop the different components of the draft proposal how to draft a project budget where you can apply for funding The course includes lectures, group work and plenary discussion. During the workshop, the participants will develop the project ideas of 3 participants into ready-to-use draft proposals. Priorities if the workshop is overbooked: 1. Bjerknes members with project ideas, 2. Bjerknes members without project ideas, 3. Non-Bjerknes members with project ideas. For PhD students: this workshop makes the most sense if you are in the 3rd (or 4th) year of your PhD. PhD students in their 1st or 2nd year will not be prioritized – unless they are working on a proposal, such as for a travel grant, support for events, etc. In this case, please indicate this in your registration.
