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.

Hi all! We're excited to announce that we will be holding the Bjerknes hackathon over two half-days, on May 20th and May 21st! This is an opportunity to build your skills working with earth systems datasets, and will cover retrieving, analysing and visualising data. The theme of the hackathon will be Air-ice-sea interactions in the Arctic and North Atlantic. In addition to skills development, we expect some really interesting results to emerge from bringing together the diverse expertise of Bjerknes members to tackle this task. In addition to exploring this central focus, we will be providing a crash course on Earth systems data, which should have something for everyone whether you count yourself as a novice or expert data analyst. The event will run from 9am-12am on May 20th, and 9am-2pm on May 21st. There will be plentiful bolle, coffee and lunch provided for attendees. If you're interested in attending then register at the link below by next Friday, April 11th : https://forms.gle/rJJaK6uc6ghkFYLCA Look forward to seeing many of you there!
