About the call

The NTNU Challenge invites experienced researchers across eight disciplines of any nationality and age to work in tandem with a supervisor in order to submit successful applications to Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships.

If chosen, you will be invited to participate together with a supervisor on a three-day symposium on MSCA-IF at NTNU Trondheim from 22 to 24 of May. Together, you will write and prepare an application towards the MSCA-IF Call with deadline 11 September 2019. Travel costs related to the events 22-24 May will be covered by NTNU.

About Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships (MSCA-IF)

The Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) aim to support the career development and training of researchers in all scientific disciplines through international and inter-sectoral mobility. By funding excellent research and providing attractive working conditions, the MSCA offer high quality professional opportunities open to researchers of any age, nationality or discipline.

The goal of the Individual Fellowships is to enhance the creative and innovative potential of experienced researchers wishing to diversify their individual competence in terms of skill acquisition through advanced training, international and inter-sectoral mobility. Individual Fellowships provide opportunities to acquire and transfer new knowledge and to work on research and innovation in Europe (EU Member States and Associated Countries) and beyond.

Project proposal

Hydrological risk assessment.

The production of electricity from hydropower is exclusively determined by the availability of water. Upstream water use such as irrigation and drinking water supply, downstream constraints and climate change are just some of the factors that can pose a risk to the hydropower producer. The relationships between these factors can in many river basins be very complex, introducing large uncertainties. Tools to analyze the wider understanding and quantification of the hydrological risks in river basins with multiple and geographically distributed water uses have to a limited extent been applied in the long-term planning of hydropower projects. The use of such tools will reduce the financial risks, as well as providing a basis for a dialogue between stakeholders. Different tools can be used to assess the hydrological risks of hydropower projects, which include; i) hydrological models with functions to run scenarios with climate change and different allocation and priorities between sectors, ii) integration of model simulation and expert judgement using Bayesian network methodology and iii) other risk assessment approaches, including decision-tree frameworks. The research project intends to test and demonstrate various tools for an improved assessment of hydrological related risks in hydropower developments, and water resources projects in general.
