A
Word from the Head of Department
Norwegian
Research Council is planning a new announcement of the SFF-arrangement (Centre
for Groundbreaking Research) in the forthcoming year, and has evaluated the
possible adjustments of the existing arrangement based on the recent evaluation, see the article in PŒ H¿yden. According
to Svenn-ge Dahl, head of the Research
Administrative Department, the NRC has the annual 155 million kroner to be
distributed among 8-10 new SFF candidates in the next round of applications.
This
autumn, the Department of Physics and Technology has come up with two possible
applications, along with several other possibilities that are being evaluated. As
is the case with application processes, and especially for larger funds such as
this one, it is of utmost importance to proceed in accord with the valid conditions which will be specified in the announcement. Until
then, it may be wise to read the NRC's requirements and guidelines Krav og retningslinjer for SFF. It would be great if all
of you planning on participating in SFF-applications inform us at the
Department Administration about your plans.
