iEarth's seed project is an initiative and a motivation to support the development of teaching and learning collaboration across departments and universities, to engage students in improving their learning environment, to collect data, to develop teaching and learning in geosciences and to promote SoTL (Research approach to own teaching / "Scholarship of Teaching and Learning").
Projects can apply for funding of up to NOK 150 000,-
If a larger budget is needed to carry out the project, iEarth can help find alternative solutions for financing. The projects have a 1-year run, and if necessary, projects can apply for further funding.
Guidelines can be found here:

We are now having an open call where applicants can submit their seed projects all year around and the applications will be evaluated twice a year. It is possible to apply for the same project more than once, also if the project has received funding before. Application submission must be done using the attached form and submission will be done electronically through skjemaker.
Faculties, postdocs, fellows and students from geoscience institutions. Lecturers and students at Norwegian institutes outside iEarth can also apply for funding, subject to existing collaboration with colleagues at the iEarth institutions.
See iEarth's Center Plan for examples. We encourage applicants to contact focus area managers if they are particularly interested in topics covered by the five focus areas in iEarth. Examples of project themes include, but are not limited to:
Funding can be requested for teachers who temporarily need to hire replacements (or teaching assistants) for their teaching to work on such projects. Project funds may also include conference fees to attend SOTL conferences.
iEarth funding does not cover:
The assessment committee consists of the appointed education chairs from each iEarth institution, a committee member with a formal background in educational research, the iEarth center manager, network coordinator and one student representative.

The project can receive full or partial funding. iEarth's network coordinator will give feedback to applicants via e-mail and funded projects will be announced on www.iearth.no.
In the event of potential conflicts of interest within the committee, the relevant member will be excluded from the evaluation of the relevant project.
