The Greenhouse gets funding for SAMKUL project

A project headed by University of Stavanger´s Dolly Jørgensen, "Beyond Dodos & Dinosaurs: Displaying Extinction & Recovery in Museums" has been given funding from the Research Council of Norway as a SAMKUL project, as one of eight projects nationally (all sorting under the theme "man and nature"). The project is to be carried out as part of "The Greenhouse: An environmental humanities initiative at University of Stavanger". I am a member of the Greenhouse, but not directly involved in Dolly´s project.

Dolly also got funding fot establishing an environmental humanities network called "In the clouds".

Animal vision research application submitted

Wednesday, to days ago, a SAMKUL application titled "Animal Vision: Looking at/as Animals" was submitted by University of Stavanger with Finn Arne Jørgensen as prospective Project Manager and me as one of the involved researchers, with a 10% position. My participation would concern Work Package 2, "Looking as animals".

No from SAMKUL

Today I was notified that my SAMKUL research application "Umwelt theory for our time" has been declined by the Research Council of Norway. The overall assessment grade was 5, though with 6 for "the project manager and project group"  and A for "Implementation plan and resource parameters" and "Dissemination and communication of results". 11 applications got funding.

127 SAMKUL applications

According to Research Council of Norway, 127 applications were submitted to the SAMKUL grant scheme in February. This includes my application "Umwelt Theory For Our Time". About 100 mill. NOK will be allocated to successful applicants.

SAMKUL application "Umwelt Theory For Our Time" completed and submitted

Yesterday I completed and submitted an application for Research Council of Norway´s SAMKUL scheme (on the cultural conditions of societal development), "Umwelt Theory For Our Time" (a rework of my Young Research Talents application from last year).

SAMKUL application evaluation received

Today I was informed (upon requesting information, which had not arrived to my collaborator the Project Manager) that our 2012 SAMKUL research application (see previous posts, from 2012) got the grade 4 (out of 7) in the international peer-review. The 6-page evaluation report made quite good sense.

In the application I was the prospective Assistant Project Manager.

No funding for PERLAR (November 2012)

The application for research funding from SAMKUL (Samfunnsutviklingens kulturelle forutsetninger - the cultural preconditions of societal development) in which I was involved as a prospective Assistant Project Manager, with Paul Thibault as Project Manager, "Perceptions of Animal Agency: Large Predators and other Cultured Animals" (PERLAR), did not get funding.

Here's an overview of the 15 projects that did get funding - announced in November 2012 (as the overview shows, no applications from University of Stavanger or University of Agder were successful).

SAMKUL decision on PERLAR etc. delayed

The research program SAMKUL (Samfunnsutviklingens kulturelle forutsetninger - the cultural preconditions of societal development) was supposed to give notice about what research projects get funding at some point in October. However, the process is delayed and decisions will only be taken November 22nd-23rd.

The prospective research project "Perceptions of Animal Agency: Large Predators and other Cultured Animals" (PERLAR), with Paul Thibault as Project Manager and myself as Assistant Project Manager, is one of 138 applications. 12-14 projects are expected to get funding.
