Tips for Applicants
- ✓Structure the project timeline explicitly around the two-years-abroad-then-one-year-Norway split, since this sequencing is central to eligibility.

- ✓Line up a confirmed hosting arrangement with both the foreign organisation and the Norwegian institution before applying, since the grant requires both to be in place.
