Webinar om universell utforming

Universitets- og høgskolerådet og Direktoratet for høyere utdanning og kompetanse arrangerer Webinar om «universell utforming i praksis» – og vi spør «Hva er godt nok»?
Webinaret finner sted i Zoom 8. juni, kl. 12.00 til 15.00.
Samlingen er i første rekke rettet mot ledere i universitets- og høyskolesektoren, men er også
relevant for øvrige ansatte som arbeider med universell utforming i høyere utdanning.

Program og lenke til arrangementet finner du på Direktoratet for høyere utdanning og kompetanse.

Hvordan og hvorfor introdusere kjønn og inkludering i forskningsprosjekt?

Kjønn, mangfold og inkludering er ikke bare hedersord, men begreper som det forventes skal inngå i alle typer forskningsprosjekter. For forskere som ikke har jobbet med disse begrepene før, vil dette kurset tilby en verktøykasse for hvordan reflektere og implementere disse begrepene i forskningsplanlegging og -design. Dr. Jovana Mihajlović Trbovc er invitert til å holde foredraget.

Prosjektledelse i akademia

Ønsker du å lære mer om prosjektledelse og hvordan det blir brukt i akademia? Dette kurset vil dykke ned i nyansene av prosjektledelse innenfor akademiske settinger og utforske hvordan det skiller seg fra andre sektorer. Mens vi undersøker de unike karakteristikkene ved forskningsprosjekter, vil vi også vurdere om eksterne perspektiver og strategier kan være nyttige for å forbedre prosjektledelse i akademia.

The 24th Broegelmann Lecture- Peder Olofsson

Peder S Olofsson is the Head of Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Departmentof Medicine, Solna, Karolinska Institutetand the Scientific Director of the StockholmCenter for Biolectronic Medicine will give the talk Reaching beyond innervation to map mechanisms of neural regulation of inflammation.

Speaker: Peder S Olofsson, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Departmentof Medicine, Solna, Karolinska Institutet
Title: Reaching beyond innervation to map mechanisms of neural regulation of inflammation
Chair: Helena Harris
When: May 15th, 2023 at 3:00-4:00. Snacks and coffee will be provided prior to the lecture, remember to register!.
Registration: at this link  Deadline is May 8th at 12 AM
Place: Auditorium B302, Sentralblokken 3rd floor, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen

Short bio: Peder S. Olofsson, MD, PhD, trained in anesthesiology and intensive care medicine at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden, and is a Diplomate of the European Academy of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine with more than 10 years of clinical experience. Dr. Olofsson also holds a PhD in experimental medicine from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden.

Research: Dr. Olofssons group focuses on the field of Bioelectronic medicine — the convergence of molecular medicine; neuroscience and biology; and electronics and computing to develop cures. It is hoped this field of study may change the future of therapies for a wide variety of diseases. This groundbreaking discipline is aimed at interfacing electronics with nerves to specifically target the biological processes underlying disease.

Studying neurophysiological and molecular mechanisms in the neural control of inflammation outside of the central nervous system, his lab uses genetic experimental animal models and pharmacological and neurophysiological interventions, and human studies, to map the homeostatic reflex control of inflammation physiology.

Dr. Olofsson’s work has been instrumental in the discovery that T cells relay neural signals in the inflammatory reflex, and that acetylcholine-producing T cells play key roles in regulation of blood pressure and anti-microbial defense through regulation of blood vessel physiology.

More information about Dr. Olofssons work can be found on his group page: Neural regulation of inflammation and metabolism | Karolinska Institutet (ki.se) and at the following link Bioelectronic Medicine – YouTube with a short video focusing on being able to monitor and stimulate the vital vagus nerve with short electrical pulses in order to treat inflammatory diseases in a targeted manner.

This seminar has been arranged by the Broegelmann Research Laboratory, NSI Bergen and the Bergen Research School in Inflammation

How to write competitive proposals for the ERC Starting and Consolidator Grants

The competition for ERC Grants can be daunting, but UiB has many examples of researchers who have won and enjoy the academic freedom of an ERC grant. Find out how to best prepare your application with this digital workshop. The Starting Grant is for early stage researchers (up to 7 years after their PhD has been defended). The next deadline is expected to be 23.10.23 (date tbc in June 2023). Consolidator Grant stipend is for mid-career researchers (7-12 years after their PhD is defended) who would like to propose a groundbreaking and risky project that they could not finance anywhere else.

Felles undervisningsdag 2023

Det skjer for tiden mange endringer som på studiefeltet. Dermed passer det fint at Klinisk institutt 1 og 2 forsetter sitt gode samarbeid, og også i år arrangerer en felles undervisningsdag.

Undervisningen utvikler seg stadig i form og innhold. For at vi skal opprettholde det gode nivået, er det viktig at vi som underviser utvikler oss utdanningsfaglig. På undervisningsdagen får vi mulighet til å lære av undervisningsgruppen for geriatri. De har utviklet engasjerende og nyskapende undervisning, som de nylig ble tildelt Helse Vests utdanningspris for. Vi vil også diskutere hvordan vi kan samarbeide enda bedre om undervisningen vår, slik at vi både sikrer at studentene på tvers av studiested får det beste faglige tilbudet og samstemt læringsutbytte, og samtidig reduserer unødvendig dobbeltarbeid.

Heldagsseminar for ph.d.-veiledere 21. april

Det medisinske fakultet har gleden av å invitere til fysisk heldagsseminar for ph.d.-veiledere 21.april.

Det medisinske fakultet har om lag 100 disputaser hvert år. Mange disputaser er av høy internasjonal standard, men ca. 10-13 % må gjennom omarbeiding. Kappen er det svakeste leddet. «Manglende stringens» og «for lav akademisk kvalitet for å kunne publiseres som et helhetlig akademiske litteratur på feltet» er ofte begrunnelsen for avslag.

Rune Krumsvik er professor i pedagogikk og merittert underviser. Han har skrevet flere bøker om artikkelbaserte doktoravhandlinger og holder kurs i kappeskriving.

Meld deg på veilederseminaret for faglig påfyll om din rolle i å veilede og hvordan gi tilbakemelding på kappeskriving slik at kandidaten slipper potensiell forsinkelse pga. mindre omarbeiding.

09:00-09:10 Åpning og introduksjon
Visedekan for forskerutdanning professor Martha C. Enger

09:10-10:00 Kvalitet i avhandlingen versus artiklene

12:00-13:00 Lunsj

13:00-14:00 Hva kan man som veileder gjøre når det er vanskelig å veilede?
Professor Hans-Peter Marti
Diskusjon i grupper og i plenum

14:00-15:00 Hva er en god veileder fra kandidaten sitt perspektiv?
Ph.d.-kandidat Julie Solberg Knudsen
Diskusjon i grupper og i plenum

The Bergen International Conference on Hansen’s Disease

150 Years Since the Discovery of the Leprosy Bacillus

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the discovery of the leprosy-causing bacteria, Mycobacterium leprae, by Dr. Gerhard Armauer Hansen. To mark this historic anniversary, Sasakawa Leprosy (Hansen’s Disease) Initiative and the University of Bergen in Norway are organizing The Bergen International Conference on Hansen’s Disease:150 Years Since the Discovery of the Leprosy Bacillus on June 21-22, 2023.

Although leprosy can now be treated with multidrug therapy, delayed treatment can lead to lifelong disability and discrimination against those affected. The World Health Organization and other international organizations aim to eliminate leprosy by 2030, and the Bergen International Conference on Hansen’s Disease will bring together stakeholders from around the world to discuss medical, social, and historical aspects of leprosy. This conference is part of the “Don’t Forget Leprosy” campaign.

Good deals on accommodation in Bergen can be found in the registration form.

We look forward to seeing you!

Date: June 21-22, 2023
Place: Grieg Hall (Address: Edvard Griegs Plass 1, 5015 Bergen, Norway)
