The Board of the Programme is responsible for a joint admission procedure based on national competition in which high quality of projects is emphasised. Endeavours are also made to achieve a reasonable allocation of research fellowships between genders, different disciplines and participating institutions over time. The Board makes decisions about the allocation of the positions available based on the applications, documentation and the institutions’ priorities. The criteria are found in the Guidelines Section 5.
The application process is split in two. The application is written using the Programme’s application form and sent to one of the Norwegian institutions of higher education affiliated to the Programme by 1 December 2016.
