Call for Applications for Young CAS Grant

Center for advanced study(CAS) at the norwegian academy of science and letters

The Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) in Oslo is now accepting applications for the Young CAS Grant for the period of January 2026 to December 2027.

The Young CAS Grant (YCG) is a collaborative initiative between CAS and the Young Academy of Norway (AYF), with support from The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (DNVA). The programme offers residential fellowships designed to empower and support young researchers in their pursuit of career development and network expansion. The applicant will serve as the PI of the project and collaborate with their handpicked international team of researchers, whereby they gain valuable experience as research leaders.

CAS will select two Young CAS projects for the period of January 2026 to December 2027.

Project Focus

Like all CAS projects, Young CAS projects should align with CASs mission to further excellent basic, curiosity-driven, research. They should challenge given truths and demonstrate the potential to advance the research frontier of the relevant field(s). Researchers from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. However, please note that laboratory-based research cannot be conducted at CAS. Projects involving laboratory work, fieldwork, or data collection are welcomed if they aim to develop the theoretical aspects of the research.

Successful applications should clearly outline how the Young CAS Grant, through its gatherings, research stay and networking opportunities, will contribute to realising the project’s objectives and further the applicant’s career.

What you get as a Young CAS PI

Each Young CAS PI will receive a grant of up to NOK 750 000 over two years, distributed as follows:

Workshops: Organise three intensive workshops with a budget of up to NOK 250 000

Research stay: Convene a group at CAS for a two-month research stay, with a budget of up to NOK 500 000.

CAS will provide administrative support to the PI throughout the project period.

For a comprehensive breakdown of budget inclusions, please refer to the “What can the funding cover?” section below.

Detailed two-year programme

The programme is structured as follows:

Year 1 (January 2026 - December 2026)

The first workshop, lasting three to five days, will take place in the spring semester of 2026 at CAS’ premises.
The second workshop, lasting three to five days, should be held at the PI’s home institution sometime in autumn 2026. The workshop at the home institution enables the PI to retain connection to the institution’s research activities. This is in line with our partnership agreement and ensures the program delivers benefits to the broader research community and faculty.

Year 2 (January 2027 – December 2027)

The PI gathers a group at CAS for a two-month period, enabling in-depth research activity.
The third and final workshop will be held at CAS, with the possibility of hosting the event and dinner at The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (DNVA).
