Main content

You are welcome to contact the Research Section and the BOA-team!

Please fill out the Obligatory Registration Form to contact our BOA-tea. This is important for our team in order to customize our assistance and register your project at the UiB application system (PreAward). It is also important to forward the confirmation receipt to the institute leader and inform about a planned application. The quality of the assistance from the research advisors and economists depends on how early the researcher contacts the BOA-team.

We are happy to assist those of you who are considering to send research applications to Horizon Europe, the Research Council of Norway, and different regional funding opportunities. Please note that the time course for developing different types of applications varies from 6 weeks to 12 months.
