NAC Opportunities
NAC Opportunities is way for NAC Core members to on short notice and with little bureaucracy seek funding for projects or other initiatives in the cost range 20-100 KKR. Decisions are taken four times per year.
Examples of things which could be funded include:
- visitors
- PhD courses
- workshops
- support for research projects
NAC Core members are free to come up with other ideas too.
To apply for funding, submit a one-page proposal as a PDF via the webform at ai.lu.se/nac/internal/opportunity-application by noon, on the day for the deadline.
The proposal should include:
- a description of what you propose to do
- an explanation of how it will benefit a broad section of the NAC community. We prioritise ideas which will benefit many NAC members. Concretely, we are expecting to see the direct involvement of at least two distinct research groups within NAC.
- a simple budget with an explanation of the expected costs
If you are proposing a visitor, then please also include a two-page CV of the proposed visitor as well as the one-page proposal.
Upcoming deadlines:
- 15 September 2024 at 12.00 CET
