New funding opportunities from CEPI 

Together with Oslo Science City, we invite you to a meeting in Domus Medica on 22 January with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) to discuss funding opportunities. CEPI is also announcing basic research grants that can contribute to the development of vaccines and other methods that help limit pandemics, and is therefore relevant for many of our researchers.

Another goal of the meeting is to help the research communities build stronger and larger consortia, so that they are in an even better position to apply for major calls for proposals against strong competition. In relation to this, interdisciplinarity and collaboration with the business sector, start-up environments and public actors are important points. Oslo Science City is an important platform for UiO to build such collaborations.
