DION Grants 2018

boardmember / / -
DION is happy to announce a new round of support grants for educational and/or social activities for our members at NTNU! All PhD candidates, Postdocs and other temporary scientific employees at NTNU are eligible to apply for a grant (up to 2500 NOK) to cover expenses related to organizing activities that create opportunities for PhD students and post-docs to network, learn, and enrich their experience at NTNU. Total sum allocated for this round is 7000 NOK. Please note that master degree students are NOT eligible. 

DION will give preference to applications which are targeted towards an open audience. Applications for the exclusive benefit of one department or faculty will still be accepted but applications that are accessible for all DION members will be prioritized.

Rules:
1. The deadline for sending the application is 23:59 CET 21st October, 2018 (the initial deadline
October 14th has been extended by one week). Applications will be evaluated by DION board members.
You can apply via this Google form filling out all mandatory fields:
 
2. Funding should be used till the end of the calendar year, i.e. till 31.12.2018 23:59 CET.
 
3. The organizers are expected initially to cover the costs of the event and then seek reimbursement of the costs from DION. No a priori funding is given. 
Please note that the receipts and all reimbursement documents should be submitted to DION LATEST two weeks after the event, but before the end of the calendar year – whichever comes first. Otherwise, reimbursement of the costs is not guaranteed.
 
4. In case of approval of the grant, the organizers should promote DION by making it a co-host of the Facebook event, and allowing a DION board member to attend the event for promotion purposes. A DION board member will be assigned to each approved application, and the organizers will liaise with him/her about the event.
 
Last year’s successful grant applicants were (these are just examples – you are not requested to organize a similar, or a follow-up project):
  • “Academic/social events with particular interest towards LGBT community”
  • “Screening of independent films and debates aimed towards foster dialogues”
  • “Bouldering course”
  • “Industrial networking”
  • “Critical Gender Salon project”
  • “Happy hour for Phd’s and Postdoc’s”
 
Apply or forward to those who might be interested!
