MIT-Norway University of Bergen Seed Fund

The MIT-Norway University of Bergen Seed Fund supports collaborations between faculty and researchers at MIT and the Faculties of Humanities and Medicine at the University of Bergen

Maximum award: $30,000

Proposals must be linked to an identified research group or researcher permanently employed at UiB and can include all disciplines represented at the Faculties. Collaborations involving researchers in early or mid-career stages are encouraged. Proposal topics should be connected to the humanities and/or medicine, and priority will be given to projects that:

  • Are new or are entering a new phase
  • Involve students in a meaningful way
  • Have high potential for impact beyond the initial funding period, such as continued collaboration, joint proposals, or other opportunities
  • Include a balanced exchange and demonstrate complementarity between the two universities
  • The UiB Faculty of Humanities particularly encourages proposals that involve interdisciplinary collaboration and/or digital humanities.
