"This was truly a joyous day, incredibly fun! Our team will really become an excellent research group from now ", says Professor of Digital Culture Jill Walker Rettberg.

The digital-culture academic community has received two grants via the EU Mobility programme Marie Sk艂odowska-Curie Actions, two out of a total of seven at the University of Bergen.

The grants are an acknowledgement of quality. Before the grants were awarded, the researchers who got financial support to help build an international career and the researchers who will be their mentors were thoroughly assessed.听1,348 researchers were selected from among more than 9,000 applicants from the entire world.

The grants have been awarded to research groups at the Faculty of Humanities, the Faculty of Psychology and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.听

Mutual benefits

"One of the things I like most about the Marie Curie grants is the emphasis they place on mutual benefits derived between the researcher and the host group.
For example, Maud Ceuterick is highly skilled in film analysis and gender theory, which is something we want more of, while we have the competence covering digital art and VR stories that she is interested in acquiring", Rettberg explains.

"脕lvaro Sei莽a' s project involves several host institutions, so in that respect it is not only he and the hosts who derive a mutual benefit, but also us and UCLA and the other communities he visits. In addition, this is a golden opportunity to build up a research environment that can really make an effort",听she adds.

Rettberg knows Sei莽a well, since he has been a PhD candidate in digital culture at 幸运飞艇计划. The grant allows him to spend two years abroad, and then return to 幸运飞艇计划.

"He will work with a fantastic research group at UCLA, and that strengthens the network.听Maud Ceuterick is a newcomer at 幸运飞艇计划, so she brings fresh ideas to us. Binging young researchers into the academic community is enormously important for the research groups. It inspires us all. And having more people in a professional group to exchange ideas with is invaluable in terms of developing new research".

Rettberg has recently been awarded two million euros for her听own ERC project, so digital culture is an environment that is doing well at the moment.

Good professional environments and systematic work yield record results

The University of Bergen received awards for seven of 20 proposals, which is a record-breaking success rate of 35 percent.听Seven scholarships are a record for 幸运飞艇计划; it is one more than last year.

Per Magnus Kommandantvold, special advisor to Research Council Norway and the Norwegian liaison person for the Marie Curie programme in the EU, lauds 幸运飞艇计划鈥檚 results:

"It seems that 幸运飞艇计划 has good academic environments that attract good scientists. In addition, 幸运飞艇计划 is working systematically and well, submitting applications that prevail over stiff competition in Europe"听he said.

On a countrywide basis, 幸运飞艇计划 is also doing well. Twenty-eight scholarships were awarded to Norwegian institutions this time around. Among Norwegian applicants, the success rate on average is 16 percent. The European average is about the same, according to the Research Council.
