Norwegian-Pacific Ocean-Climate Scholarship Project N-POC The Norway-Pacific Ocean-Climate Scholarship Project (N-POC) is an ambitious partnership in research and PhD training between two geographically remote, structurally different, but thematically convergent institutions of research and higher education: The University of Bergen (UiB) in Norway, and the regional University of the South Pacific (USP). The main objectives of N-POC are threefold: (1) To build a strong interdisciplinary Pacific cohort of PhD researchers to address urgent challenges for ocean and climate; (2) To build new multidisciplinary Pacific research on the ocean-climate nexus for regional and global policy impact; (3) To build enduring partnerships between researchers and universities in Norway and the Pacific Islands. The core of the programme is 24 fully funded PhD scholarships at the USP within ocean and climate research, ranging from the natural sciences to the social sciences and humanities. PhD candidates will be recruited from all 12 member countries of the USP, and from the other Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDS) of Papua New Guinea, Federated States of Micronesia and Palau. N-POC will build on complementarity between the two universities: While the UiB is one of Norway’s largest universities and has a strategic research focus on ocean, climate and global challenges, the USP is the Pacific Islands region’s own multi-country university with 12 far-flung member states. The two universities have a long record of collaboration on research projects, performing arts, student exchange and science-driven ocean and climate diplomacy, and manage their collaboration through a broad Memorandum of Understanding. In the N-POC project, all 24 PhD candidates are to be based at a graduate school at the USP’s Laucala campus in Suva, Fiji, but will be supervised jointly by researchers from both universities.
