"I would like to congratulate the research communities who have received funding", says Rector Margareth Hagen.
She hopes many UiB researchers will have the opportunity to realize their research ideas through this funding.
"We know that many people have worked hard for this, and that the competition is fierce", she says.
In August and September 2022, the Research Council announced which projects will receive funding in the "Researcher Project" application category.
The purpose of this funding scheme is renewal and development in research that can contribute to moving the international research frontier. The funding is given to researchers within all disciplines and research areas who have demonstrated the ability to carry out research of high scientific quality, under various thematic programs or in the category "Frontier research".
