UiO:Energy and Environment aims to promote career enhancing activities and international collaboration, exchange, and visibility. The call for mobility funding and partnerships is one of the initiatives supporting these objectives.
UiO: Energy and Environment has defined four main research areas across the university and the funding for the activities for which funding is applied for should be thematically placed under one or more of these.
