Please contact Head of Office Nina Rundgren for your personal accounting number ("tiltakskode"). 

The funds can be used to cover expenses for research related activitites like hiring of research assistants, literature, shorter travels, meetings, copy editing, conferences and other activities in connection with research.

How to order

Please note the following when placing lunch orders or dinner reservations: Because of Auditor General's remarks, UiO now require attendance lists to all events/meetings when ordering food and restaurant visits (i.e. invitations with name/email where recipients/recipient lists appear). The program of the event should ideally also be attached. Remember to write whether the event is for internal participant (UiO staff) or external participants (or both).

The maximum rates for representation at UiO: 

  • Lunch/dinner: maximum NOK 1 358 per person
  • Simple lunch/reception: maximum NOK 500 per person

See Guidelines for hosting and representation at UiO.
