Abstract

The Yggdrasil mobility programme promotes the internationalisation of Norwegian research by offering grants to international Ph.D. students and younger researchers in connection with an up to 10 months research stays in Norway. The programme seeks to make Norway an attractive research destination for highly qualified international Ph.D. students and younger researchers in all subject areas, thus strengthening the Norwegian research communities involved. Grant applications will be accepted from the following countries: All European countries, including all Council of Europe member states, except for the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Sweden). Non-European countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Egypt, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico and South Africa. See here how to apply. Contact us for help. Deadline 17.02.2010.
