Updated conditions from KAW
During the summer, the foundation has updated/clarified the conditions for WAF. This information is not included in the management procedures because it came after the procedures were established. Therefore, it is important that those nominating individuals to the faculty take note of these updates and ensure that the candidate is aware of them and will meet the conditions.
The new conditions are:
- The nominees must spend at least 70 % of their position and working time at the host university.
- The higher education institutions must guarantee that the selected researchers will have relevant positions at the higher education institution and that at least 70% of the total assigned working time is located at the host university.
