“It is very gratifying to see that HF again is succeeding in attracting such strong international young talent,” says dean Frode Helland.
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) is an EU initiative where host universities apply for funding together with the young researcher they want to recruit.
Since 2016, the faculty has offered a so-called «Master Class» for those who want to apply for an MSCA postdoctorate. At the Master Class, those who want it get assistance to write a good application and secure the research talent they have chosen for their project. The next Master Class will be in June 2023.
“Year after year we see the results of this important work, and again I would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to such a diversity of projects”, says Helland.
