KIFEE has received funds through the program INTPART (INTernational PARTnership for outstanding education and research) from the Research Council of Norway and Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Education (SIU), to increase the institutional cooperation in the KIFEE network through increased researcher and student mobility.

General Information

The project has allocated funds for mobility between collaborating institutions in Norway and Japan, consisting of grants for visiting professors, visiting scientists, and students. Each grant (2 weeks - 6 months) cover travel costs for travel Japan - Norway (return) or vice versa, plus documented costs for residence/rent, according to the regulations provided by the Research Council of Norway.

Areas/topics should (in the broadest context) be related to the sustainability issue, specifically within the key areas of KIFEE:

• Electrolysis and advanced inorganic materials
• Process engineering
• Advanced biological materials
• Education in energy and environment

The tentative grant schedule is planned as follows:

• 5 visiting professors grants, each 2 weeks (average, max 1 month)
• 7 visiting researcher grants, average 2 months
• 15 student grants, average 2 months
