The course is designed to facilitate user participation in medical and healthcare research, and will, among other things, show methods for involving patient representatives. This is highly relevant for all biomedical research fields. Patient and user involvement has a documented positive effect on the relevance and effectiveness of medical research.
Work Life in Transition – What About the Work Environment?
Digital Breakfast Seminar Tuesday, March 11, 2025, on TEAMS from 08:30-10:00
Work Environment – Gender Balance – Diversity
The work environment is about how we organize, plan, and carry out our work. A good work environment is characterized by good leadership, employee involvement, and clear organizational frameworks. Competence, good communication, mastery, and recognition provide both security and well-being.
Through the breakfast seminar series Work Life in Transition – What About the Work Environment? the safety service at UiB wants to highlight the importance of factors that build a good work environment. We are pleased to invite you to the first breakfast seminar of the year in the series Work Life in Transition – What About the Work Environment in 2025.
In working with the work environment, diversity and inclusion are key words. In 2024, the Committee for Gender Balance and Diversity in Research (KIF Committee) celebrated its 25th anniversary. Part of the committee’s work is to contribute to awareness related to diversity, inclusion, and harassment at educational and research institutions. At the seminar, we will have a presentation of the work in KIF. The Equality Committee at UiB conducted a survey in 2024 on equality and diversity among both employees and students. The results of the survey will be presented after a short presentation of the Equality Committee at UiB.
Invited to the breakfast seminar are:
The seminar will be held digitally on March 11 from 08:30-10:00 on TEAMS, and you can register here.
Registration by the end of the workday on Monday, March 10

Dear all,
A lot of important work is currently underway to coordinate the 2015 model for medical studies and the Western Norway MD pilot into one common study model for medical education in Western Norway. Many are and more will be involved in a broad survey to find the best possible feasible solution to ensure good medical education throughout Western Norway.
In the new multi-campus model, all medical students will be gathered here in Bergen for the first three years of their studies, while for the last three years, the students will be distributed between Bergen, Stavanger, Førde and Haugesund. The students will then receive all practical training and teaching in the same place. The same subjects will be covered in the same part of the programme, which will make it possible to provide good collaboration with good synergies. At the same time, local adaptations are crucial.
Patient contact through courses and, not least, practice in hospitals and in the primary health service is emphasised, as this is of great importance in order to be able to take on the role of doctor in a good way. As in all education of health personnel, it is crucial to have close collaboration between the hospital/health axis and the university axis. Together we are strong! The hospitals in the Western Norway as well as the primary health service are central in the planning work for adjusting the medical programme to a common multi-campus model.
This autumn, the first 20 students who will take the last three years of their medical studies in Førde will start, and they will go to Førde in the autumn of 2028. In Stavanger, the first students are now at the 4th and 5th year of study in the Vestlandslegen, and this is in parallel with the continuation of the 2015-model practice which will gradually be scaled down and will in the spring of 2027 have been transferred to Bergen in its entirety.
All good input to ensure the best possible education of doctors in Western Norway is welcome!
I wish you all a really good weekend!

The Michael Sars Symposium 2025 offers scientists in Bergen a unique chance to hear the very latest work in the evolution of cells and nervous systems and how proteins achieve so much as molecular machines. Moreover, it’s a great chance to mingle with leading lights in research spanning molecules to ecosystems.
Session topics
– Evolution of systems
– Molecular Machines
– Evolution of proteins
– Evolution of receptors

Hi everyone!
The most beautiful event of the spring is approaching quickly, and the registration for administrative responsibilities for OSKE12 and OSKE6 is now open! 😄
OSKE12 will take place on June 5th, and OSKE6 on June 12th.
We hope you can share this information in your channels so that we can get as many participants as possible.
We need all the good hands on deck to make this happen!
This is a fantastic opportunity to meet colleagues across institutes and faculties. We also hope you can join us!

The Centre for Digital Life Norway encourages open science and FAIR data management. For the fourth time, we are highlighting and rewarding outstanding examples of life science researchers in Norway who have managed their data according to the FAIR principles. The deadline for nominating candidates is March 31st, 2025.
In order to highlight leading examples of FAIR data management in Norwegian life science research, DLN is for the fourth time conferring the DLN FAIR data award. Eligible data sets are those created by researchers based in Norway and focused on life science research. The research does not have to be affiliated with the Centre for Digital Life. The data can, but do not have to, be associated with a scientific publication.
A prize for the best FAIR data in 2024
From the nominees, DLN will select the best FAIR data in Norwegian life science of 2024, to be awarded a prize of 10.000 NOK and will be highlighted through our network. The money will be transferred to the associated project(s) and can be spent within the frames set by governmental regulations.
As the state of the art of FAIR data varies across domains and techniques, it will be considered how ambitious the data management is within the related research domain.
If you have questions about the award, please contact

Good data management in the active phase of a research project facilitates your future research, eases collaborations, enables advanced analysis methods, and is a prerequisite for archiving high-quality data.
Good Research Data Management (RDM) is the first step towards sharing FAIR research data. In this webinar you will learn about the research data life cycle and get helpful tips on RDM best practices. The webinar is targeted towards early career researchers but as useful for established researchers and supervisors who would like to update themselves.
