• A preliminary project description
• A short description of the ways in which the application relates to the school’s strategy – and possibly also to the strategies of the faculty and the university.

The following appendices must be sent to the research consultant and the relevant PhD programme director:

• CV
• Diplomas and certificates
• Documentation of English language competences
• A project outline for the part of the research project which the PhD student is to carry out (note: the Graduate School, Arts has decided that when applying for funding for a named PhD candidate in connection with major research applications, advance approvals will depend on an assessment of the candidate’s qualifications (CV and diplomas) and a project description of two-five pages formulated by the named PhD candidate. This decision applies to applications where the PI writes a project description on behalf of the entire research group. Based on this, the named PhD candidate must demonstrate the ability to write an independent sub-description).

If the candidate is approved, the main applicant will receive a confirmation document from the head of the Graduate School, Arts, Anne Marie Pahuus.

Deadline for notifying the research consultant
Please contact the school’s research consultant and the academic coordinator in Arts Finance if you are planning to apply for an Inge Lehmann grant.

If you want someone to read your application before submission, please inform the research consultant by the notification deadline.
