Hello all,

1. Please find attached the updated “Research Funding Calendar”.

2. Note the following call:

Call for emerging projects in the strategic focus areas

Support to emerging projects linking new research themes to top research in the form of 4-year doctoral training positions

The call for emerging projects in the strategic focus areas aims to connect research across disciplines with top research groups in the University of Oulu. The program will facilitate linking of best practices and best science to a larger part of the university´s research, and open up new channels to improve the impact of top science.

The program consists of the allocation of 20 doctoral training positions to emerging research themes – within the context of the four strategic focus institutes Biocenter Oulu, Eudaimonia, Infotech and Kvantum. Five 4-year doctoral student positions (with partial funding) will be allocated to each focus institute for 2018-2022, totaling 20 positions.

The new program is targeted to projects led by starting group leaders who build an association between their own emerging research and top research project (encompassing centres of excellence, European Research Council´s projects, academy professors´ projects and focus institute spearhead projects). The aim of the program is to support the emerging projects' group leaders and to give them a possibility to develop alongside internationally top-level research.

Applications, together with all required enclosures in a single pdf file, should be submitted kirjaamo@oulu.fi by Friday 26^th of January, 2018 at 15:00.
