Costs and registration: Outgoing and incoming fellows to Norway are eligible for the PES2020 program and the course fee and travel will be covered if a MSCA-IF proposal is submitted. PES2020 funds are provided to Norwegian universities by the Norwegian Research Council and can be used to cover expenses made in preparation of MSCA-IF proposals (~15000 NKr). The waived course fee is 6000 Nkr and includes organization, consultants, invited alumni, lunches, accommodation, proposal peer review and coaching. All other participants will need to pay the course fee, plus their own travel. If you have any questions about this complicated eligibility, just send me an email.

Registration: Fellows should register here and provide contact information to their host before June 1st. Hosts should register here and will be added to the potential hosts page.
