Utenlandsopphold for doktorgrads- og postdoktorstipendiater

This scheme aims to "øke andelen unge forskere som tar et forskningsopphold i utlandet" (increase the proportion of young researchers undertaking research stays abroad). It funds research stays of 3–12 months, travel costs (one return flight), visa fees, and documented tuition fees.

Eligible applicants are stipendiater (doctoral and postdoctoral fellows) who are wholly or at least 50% funded by the Research Council and attached to ongoing projects with a Norwegian research organisation as project responsible, as well as project leaders of early-career researcher and young talent projects funded through FRIPRO. Industrial and public sector PhD candidates are also eligible.

The scheme operates on a rolling ("løpende") basis with no fixed deadline. Total available funds are Kr 30 000 000. The instrument type is described as "Koordinerings- og støtteaktivitet" (Coordination and Support Activity), with funding provided as "tilskudd" (grant). Applications are submitted via the Mitt nettsted portal. The page was last updated 5 January 2026.
