The project will fund gathering-based advanced courses for Ph.D. students. Such a course can be lectured in four to six gatherings during a semester, each of two days. This could be attended by all interested Ph.D. students in Norway, who would travel to attend these gatherings, supported by the project. This will weave the Norwegian community of Ph.D. students better together, and we believe it would provide both effective learning for the students and an effective way of teaching for those organizing the course. Deadlines: 1 March and 1 Oct, for activities the following two semesters
