6. Financial support from the programme
The research fellowship programme has a limited sum at its disposal for extraordinary support for supervision, equipment, materials, documentation and/or final assessments. The scope on the funds available this year has not been finally stipulated, and it will be considered in connection with the Steering Committee’s adoption of the working budget for each budget year.
Such support will be granted based on a concrete assessment of each individual application and in light of the amount of funds it will be reasonable for the employer institution itself to contribute.
It will in any case be important that the applicant and the collaborating institution jointly carry out a realistic assessment of the estimated costs involved in carrying out the applicant’s project. It is a prerequisite that the Steering Committee is already informed in the application for admission to the programme about whether financing will be required over and above what the institution is able to cover.
