12 Nordic climate PhD student conference ON C PHD F NC E R E E for PhD students connected to ResClim and the Climate Research School at the Bolin Centre Bergen, Norway September 2014 Come join us for two days of Science and fun at Fjordslottet on Osterøy, situated close to Bergen. We invite you all to send in an abstract for either a presentation or a poster. For more information visit resclim.no, where you can register your abstract. Abstracts 1. May 2014 Organized by PhD students for PhD students from the Nordic climate research schools.! First conference on Osterøy 2014 with 30 UiB and SU PhDs.! Annual event alternating between SU, UiB and KU.!

13 Main Motivation! Long term goals (beyond funded programs): establish lasting collaborations between partner institutions at the faculty level. promote co-supervision of graduate students. promote the use of professor II positions for distinguished researchers from the USA and Canada. continue co-organization summer schools and field courses. seek additional funding to promote mobility of students and faculty. develop joint research projects in cryosphere sciences, climate dynamics, quaternary geology and geophysics.! Challenges: attracting exchange of North American students to Norway limited duration of visits by faculty between partner institutions significant administrative load to support activities

14 Talking points! Short term vs long term mobility! Intensive courses vs semester courses! Web based vs traditional courses!! SiU/NFR seed funds vs N.American co-funding! Including non N. American partners! Researcher mobility vs Proff. II!! Link to projects and research schools! National partnerships/competence building!! Student lead vs Proff. lead activities! Field work/group projects vs traditional teaching! Recruitment, publications, degrees, outreach

15 Main achievements! Immediate: exposure to cut edge science; venue for high level scientific discussions; scientific as well as social activities are key to the success; interaction with the best international students and lecturers.!! Long term: active network for both students and lecturers; long lasting partnerships and project collaborations; visibility and recruitment of students and scientists to Norway.
