Dear all,
A kind reminder of the invitation to the 11th CCBIO Annual Symposium May 8-10 at Hotel Solstrand close to Bergen – this is booking well, so if you have not registered yet, make sure to do that now while we still can accommodate you at the lovely Solstrand hotel. Deadline is March 31. The symposium is open for all, so please feel free to circulate this invitation.
The 2022 symposium was a success with more than 240 participants, and we expect the enlarged 2023 symposium to be even better with its generous time frame and two overnight stays. You can choose between attending online for scientific updates, or in-person at Hotel Solstrand in order to also enjoy the company of colleagues and the informal and mutually fertilizing scientific crosstalk in the breaks and the evenings. We expect the symposium to become fully subscribed, and we strongly recommend you to register early and within the deadline of March 31.
We have secured a range of international speakers: Alexander Swabrick, Amy Leblanc, Anniina Färkkilä, Benno Schwikowski, Douglas Lauffenburger, Frederic Amant, Iain McNeish, Ian Mills, Ingrid Hedenfalk, Klaus Pantel, Michael Rogers, Caroline Heckman, Rameen Beroukhim, Robert D’Amato, Stephane Terry, Catherine Panabieres and Jean Paul Thiery. See prefinal program here.
Younger researchers are offered slots for 3-minute speed-talks as well as extended poster sessions with ample time for interaction between the participants. There is still time to register for speed talks and/or poster.
The heavily subsidized registration fee is 3000 NOK/300 Euro per person for the three days and two overnight stays with full board.

Norges forskningsråd arrangerer “ERC søknadslesedager” for forskere som planlegger en søknad til The European Research Council (ERC).
På lesedagen får du mulighet til å se på søknader som har fått finansiering fra ERC, for å se hvordan et vellykket ERC-prosjekt kan struktureres. Over 60 norske ERC-grantees har vært så vennlige å gi tillatelse til at vi kan gjøre søknaden deres tilgjengelig på lesedagen.
18 april kl 9-12 https://www.forskningsradet.no/arrangementer/2023/erc-soknadslesedag-bergen-morgen/

One of the building blocks contributing to the positive evaluation of your Impact section in a Horizon Europe proposal is a well-written sub-section of Measures to Maximise Impact that describes your planned dissemination, exploitation and communication activities.
During this webinar, we will dive deep into the understanding of the EC’s goals that stand behind these proposed activities and share with you numerous practical tips and tricks that will help you develop a competitive dissemination and exploitation part of your proposal, as well as a strong set of communication activities.
This webinar session will take place on March 30th 2023 at 10:30 CET.

Forskningsdagene arrangeres fra 20. september – 1. oktober 2023. Meld interesse for å bidra under forskningsfestivalen!
Forskningsdagene (20.09.-01.10.23) er en årlig, nasjonal festival i regi av Norges Forskningsråd. I Bergen arrangeres Forskningsdagene som et samarbeid mellom byens sentrale forsknings- og utdanningsinstitusjoner der UiB er den største bidragsyteren. Forskningsdagene er en glimrende mulighet til å formidle forskning ut til et bredt publikum og gjøre UiB-forskningen bedre kjent – både lokalt, regionalt og nasjonalt.
Instituttets dag 2023
Vil minne om instituttets dag 290323. Det er en sammenslåing av tidligere strategiseminar og HMS-dagen. Vi har som mål å være på Solstrand med overnatting annenhvert år. Der var vi i 2022, og derfor er seminaret i år lokalt. Vi skal være på innovasjonsbygget Eitri. Det tenker vi vil være inspirerende og spennende.
Programmet inkluderer et innlegg om clinical trials ved nytilsatt professor i pediatri, Camilla Tøndel. Clinical trials vil få et anda større fokus i helseforetakene framover, og her kan universitetet være en viktig medspiller.
Professor Camilla Krakstad fra Kvineklinikken har nylig hatt forskningstermin ved Harvard Medical School og vil fortelle om hvordan hun går fram når det gjelder samarbeid om storskala geneetikk-analyser, noe er aktuelt nå med begrensningen pga. GDPR.
Et absolutt høydepunkt blir at dekan Per Bakke kommer for å snakke om den nye økonomiske hverdagen og hva det betyr for fakultet og institutt.
Så vil vi får høre om en spennende studie om effekten av en metabolitt for delir og risiko for hoftebrudd hor eldre pasienter ved nytilsatt førsteamanuensis Lasse Gil.
Dagen avsluttes med et innlegg fra IT-avdelingen vedrørende IT-sikkehet. Dette et svært viktig tema som vi må ta på største alvor.
Det er fortsatt mulig å melde seg på seminaret! Vi kan også friste med lunsj, kaffe og sikkert noe usundt, men godt, til kaffen 😉
Ha en riktig god helg!

This webinar will focus on pitching of project ideas and brokering partnerships for European Research and Innovation collaborations and networking. Open to participants from the UK and beyond.

Khrono og studenttidsskriftet Argument arrangerer skrivekonkurranse for alle studenter i Norge på bachelor- og masternivå. Temaet for skrivekonkurransen er håp.
Skrivekonkurranse – Argument: (argumentnett.no)
Fremtiden kan se dyster ut: Det er krig i Europa, vi står i en klima- og naturkrise. 100 millioner av mennesker i verden er på flukt. Samtidig er kvinners- og andre minoriteters rettigheter i regress flere steder. Hjemme i Norge øker de sosiale forskjellene og flere kjenner på strammere budsjett og økonomisk utrygghet.
Hvordan ha håp for fremtiden i dag?
