The Bjerknes Proposal Writing Class (Bjerknes proposal writing training 2) is an offer to scientists at the Bjerknes Centre who plan to submit a project proposal in 2026 and have little or no experience yet in proposal writing. By taking the class, you will consecutively develop your idea into a proposal draft and finally, a complete proposal ready to submit within the deadlines of 2026. This writing class will complement the support you get from your academic supervisor or scientific mentor but cannot replace that kind of support. Lectures online on zoom.
