Informasjon om utsatt søknadsfrist for fond og legater

Information about the postponed application deadline for funds and grants

This year’s application process for funds and grants will be shifted slightly in time. Normally, the application database is opened in October, but according to the submitted plan, it has now been moved to 2 January 2023, and the application deadline will be later in January. The aim is still for the support to be paid out in March as before.
The background for the postponed application deadline, and information about the processes involved in this, can be read in a letter from the University Management here.
We want the work with the foundations to be faster and better for all administrative staff, without making it more difficult for those who apply for grants and support to apply for the funds.
