Guidelines for Overseas Fellowships
Emphasis will be placed upon international networking and research collaboration when evaluating projects applying for research funds from Helse Vest.
The Regional Liaison Committee (Det regionale samarbeidsorganet) contributes with funding for overseas fellowships for researchers and others who apply for research funds from Helse Vest.
Postdoctoral fellowship applicants are especially encouraged to apply for an overseas fellowship over the course of their fellowship period. Please see the guidelines for postdoctoral fellowships.
Funding for overseas fellowships is for 6 or 12 months. The following costs can be covered:
- Residence: The rates vary depending if one travels alone or with family. The rates for overseas fellowships are to cover documented start-up and additional expenses for overseas research stays. Taxes will be deducted from any surplus.
- Travel Coverage of travel expenses (cheapest travel option) can be applied for. Support may be granted within a given project for several shorter-term visits and more than one round trip for researchers with children of school age (under 16) who choose to travel without their children and spouse / partner.
Salary during the stay abroad must be covered through a fellowship (e.g. postdoctoral fellowship) or by the employer.
