    If you wish to invite in a guest researcher, an international PHD-student or someone else who is not on a payed contract at OsloMet it is important that the collaboration has a professional relevance and value for OsloMet, see the check-list and follow routines as described below. In some cases, there will be special security needs that must be taken into account. Therefore, contact your immediate manager and the unit's HR manager already in the planning phase so that you can make the necessary clarifications together.

    OsloMet International Staff Services (OMISS) should always be involved in the process of inviting international guest researchers in order to guarantee a good on-boarding and assist with the relocation process. Contact omiss@oslomet.no or by filling in this online form so that we have the necessary information to assist.

    Checklist for receiving guest researchers at OsloMet

    • If the guest researcher is to physically come to OsloMet, they must have a workplace and an office agreement. The agreement can be found in the teams group International recruitment.
    • If the guest researcher is only to be associated digitally, they must sign an "individual work agreement".  The agreement can be found in the teams group International recruitment.
    • Does the guest researcher come from a country from where security measurements is necessary? Contact omiss@oslomet.o or the network for responsible internationalization for advice. We strongly advice to complete a risk- and vulnerability assessment in order to decide  to formalize the invitation. You can use OsloMet's template for risk assessment, or contact omiss@oslomet.no for a template customized for invitation of guest researcher.
    • If the guest researcher comes from a high-risk country, a background check is mandatory.
    • How will the guest researcher's stay be financed? Funding can be from a scholarship, from their institution, from a research project or from own saved funds. This information must be clearly stated in the invitation letter, archived in P360, as well as when registering access to OsloMet's systems and research databases via Service Now. Before the invitation is sent, it must be clarified whether the visiting researcher has sufficient funds for his/her stay in Norway. Separate rates are stated per year on the UDI website (udi.no).
