All PhD candidates, Postdocs and other temporary scientific employees at any NTNU campuses are eligible to apply for a grant?(up to 2000 NOK)?to cover expenses related to organizing activities that create opportunities for PhD students and post-docs to network, learn, and enrich their experience. Please note that Master degree students are NOT eligible. If there are applicants from Trondheim, Gjøvik and Ålesund, it will be prioritized to grant one to each of the three cities.

Since it is soon festive season, we also appreciate Christmas/ Hanukkah/Winter Solstice themed events!
