Call for Candidates – Run for a SiN Board Position!

SiN’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Board Elections will take place on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at the University of Oslo (UiO) campus in Oslo.
(Exact location will be communicated soon.)

This is SiN’s most important event of the year, where our member organizations exercise their democratic rights and elect a new SiN Board responsible for leading our activities in 2026.


Why Run for the SiN Board?

Are you an early career researcher in Norway — a PhD candidate, postdoctoral fellow, or in another temporary scientific position as of November 22, 2025?
Do you want to make a positive change, advocate for early career researchers at the national level, and gain valuable leadership experience?

If so, we strongly encourage you to run for the SiN Board!

The form also contains additional details about the event.

If you have any questions, please contact us at styret@stipendiat.no.

While it is possible to announce your candidacy directly at the AGM, we strongly encourage early registration by November 13.
Early registration allows the Election Committee to review your candidacy for a potential (non-binding) recommendation, which will be presented at the AGM.
