Informasjon om bibliotekets kurs for ansatte våren 2024

Meld deg på ett av bibliotekets kurs denne våren!

Bibliotek for medisin tilbyr kurs til ansatte ved Det medisinske fakultetet, og ansatte ved Helse Bergen:

  • Søkekurs i PubMed og Embase
  • Introduksjon til Endnote
  • Introduksjon til Zotero
  • Introduksjon til systematiske oversikter
  • Litteraturoppgaver for studenter

Kursene er planlagt som hybridløsning, hvor det er mulighet for å delta både fysisk og digitalt via Zoom. Kursene er fortrinnsvis for ansatte og stipendiater. De fleste studenter får bibliotekkurs som en del av sin studieplan. Dersom ikke det er tilfelle kan de melde seg på disse kursene. Det siste kurset er spesielt for studenter som vil vite mer om litteraturoppgaver, og som ikke har hatt eget kurs om det.

Kursdatoer, påmelding og mer informasjon finnes på https://www.uib.no/ub/126018/kurs-og-veiledning#kurs-med-p-melding

How to meet Open Science requirements

The University Library offers guidance and support services for adopting open science practices and meeting requirements from funders and policy makers

There has been an increasingly strong focus on open access to publications and research data and good data handling practices. This is reflected in expectations and demands from financiers, authorities and institutions.

In this webinar the university library will give a short introduction to:

  • Open access to scientific publications (support for open publishing, open access agreements, requirements from funders (Plan S), guidelines at UiB)
  • FAIR data management and open access to research data (requirements from funders, data management plans, data documentation and metadata, archiving and reuse of FAIR research data, citable code)
  • Publication strategies (status for open publishing, visibility of own research and evaluation based on open science)

26.01.2024 – 10.15–11.00

Tildeling av ERC-prosjekt – fast stilling ved fakultetet

Det medisinske fakultet, UiB (MED) innfører fra 01.01.24 en ordning som legger til rette for at forskere som tildeles ERC-prosjekt ansettes fast etter endt prosjektperiode ved instituttet der forskningsaktiviteten naturlig hører hjemme. Fakultetet vil dekke lønnskostnaden ved instituttet Med denne ordningen ønsker vi å stimulere til økt søknadsaktivitet mot ERC, styrke fremtidig medisinsk forskning i Bergen, og gjøre fakultetet mer attraktivt, særlig for forskere tidlig i karrieren.

Følgende kriterier gjelder:

  • Ordningen gjelder for personer som er ansatt i postdoc eller forskerstilling, eller i vikariat for førsteamanuensis- eller professorstilling ved MED ved tildeling av ERC-prosjekt.
  • Ordningen gjelder for personer som flytter til MED med sitt ERC-prosjekt fra starten av prosjektperioden og som har sin forskningsaktivitet ved MED under prosjektperioden.
  • Ordningen gjelder ikke for personer som er fast vitenskapelig ansatt på MED i førsteamanuensis- eller professorstilling i forkant av ERC-tildeling.
  • Lønnsmidler fra fakultetet vil normalt komme i etterkant av at ERC-prosjektet er avsluttet. Dette betyr at kandidatene må hente inn egen lønn fra ERC-prosjektet eller fra andre kilder i prosjektperioden.
  • Stillingen (førsteamanuensis eller professor) vil lyses ut etter vanlig prosedyre når prosjektperioden går mot slutten, men utlysningsteksten vil tilpasses kandidatenes vitenskapelige og metodologiske profil.

Research and Training Grants from the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS)

Members of FEMS Member Societies can apply for our grants. Research and Training Grants assist early career scientists in pursuing research and training at a European host institution in a country other than their own country of residence (and exceptionally to support research and training projects outside Europe). These grants may be used to contribute to travel, accommodation and subsistence costs of making the visit. Support is limited to a maximum of €5000.

Applicants
Applicants should be active microbiologists, having obtained their highest degree less than five years prior to the application deadline date or be a PhD student*. They should be a member of a FEMS Member Society. You can find a detailed overview of the requirements for this grant in the FEMS Grants Regulations.

Kunstig intelligens i helsesektoren: Hvilken kunnskap trenger vi?

Kunstig intelligens står for døren – eller er den allerede i klinikken? Hvem slapp den inn og hvordan håndterer vi den?

KI i helsesektoren er fortsatt i sin spede begynnelse, men potensialet er enormt.

Kunstig intelligens har potensialet til å revolusjonere helsesektoren og forbedre pasientbehandlingen på mange måter, men KI er ikke bare en kilde til muligheter og fordeler. Det er også en rekke utfordringer og risikoer som må tas på alvor.

Torsdag 18. januar kl 13.30-15.45 skal sikkerhetseksperten Cecilie Wian komme med råd til hvordan helseforetak bør håndterer sikkerhet, GDPR og personvern når disse hjelpemidlene tas i bruk. Arrangementet finner sted på Eitri.

Hjertestarter i Laboratoriebygget – 5. etg.

Vi har nå fått en hjertestarter på lab-bygget som er tilgjengelig for alle. Den er plassert på nederste hylle i skapet kalt sikresonen i parketten/lunsjområdet i 5te etasje (se bilde). Den er helautomatisk og veldig lett å bruke der det både er tale og skjerm som viser hva du skal gjøre. Den har Norsk og Engelsk språk som enkelt endres ved å trykke på en knapp. Helt samme maskin og elektroder brukes på voksne og barn, men det er en bryter som må stilles på barn eller voksen. Inne i bærevesken ligger det også en startpakke med saks, maske for munn til munn osv.
