The Bergen Advanced Training Site in Marine Ecology (BATMARE)

is a "Marie Curie Training Site" funded by the European Commission and
hosted by the University of Bergen, Norway. BATMARE offers
interdisciplinary doctoral education and training through research on
marine processses, ecosystems and interactions, covering the range from
microbial ecology to macroplankton and fish, and from physical and
organismal processes to ecosystem dynamics.

PhD students enrolled in universities from member states of the European
Union are invited to apply for fellowships (3-12 months) to conduct
research and/or follow courses at BATMARE as part of their PhD studies.

Experienced researchers may apply for access to the complementary core project:

        Bergen Marine Food Chain Research Infrastructure (Bergen Marine)

The scheme offers a unique opportunity for conducting integrated short-term
research projects at the University of Bergen or the Institute of Marine
Research in Bergen, Norway. The Infrastructure is a set of complementary
installations covering the axis from controlled laboratory systems to
natural environments. It is especially suitable for conducting studies
within planktonic food chain dynamics, early life history of fish and
shellfish, fish recruitment, aquaculture, environmental health, molecular
marine biology, biodiversity and oceanographic processes.

Access to Bergen Marine is provided free of charge for periods of 1-3
months, supported by the EC's Human Potential Programme: Access to Research
Infrastructures. Only research teams currently conducting their research in
a Member State of the European Union or in an Associated State are eligible
to benefit under this
scheme. Appointed users will benefit from infrastructural, logistical,
technical and scientific support. Travel and subsistence expenses are
normally covered. There are 3 fixed annual deadlines for submission of
project proposals, the next one being on March 1.
