A Different Autumn at CAS

We are happy to welcome the new projects to CAS this autumn, although activities will be restricted due to the ongoing pandemic. We have taken steps to ensure that the Centre is a safe place for our researchers and administration, and we have facilitated digital participation for those who cannot be there physically. As the pandemic caused the Centre to shut down during the spring semester, CAS has extended the timeframe for the 2019/2020 projects. That is why CAS is currently having six active projects on its hands, although only the 2020/2021 projects will be present at the Centre.

Revised announcement: Apply for the Young CAS Fellow programme

As a result of the government’s proposal for Norway’s National Budget 2021, CAS changed this announcement in October 2020. The deadline is therefore postponed to December 15, 2020. In line with our new strategy, CAS is now selecting four Young CAS Fellows.

Call for CAS project applications postponed until 2021

CAS is currently revising its application process for CAS projects. As part of the revision, the Centre has decided to shorten the period between the selection of projects and start up at CAS. Therefore, the call for applications for the academic year 2023/2024 will be announced in 2021 and the projects will be selected in 2022.
