New strategy for K2
I hope you have had a pleasant rest during Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The previous editorial mentioned that it is time for a new strategy plan for K2. The last two days the chairs of the research groups, the institute council, as well as representatives for various groups at the institute have been assembled to discuss a new strategy for K2. The new plan has to take into account the overall strategy documents of the university and the faculty, and also that of the university hospital.
The goals of the new strategy plan should be specific, measureable, ambitious, realistic and achievable within a given time. We will try to make a one page plan so that it is easy to understand and will be taken into account. When the draft of the plan is ready it will be presented in K2Nytt for comments from you. The final version will be approved by the Institute council.

Inspera webinars spring 2016
New year, more webinars.
This autumn we arranged day and afternoon webinars for sensors every Tuesday. The good response is very inspiring and we can safely conclude that this is a good model for knowledge sharing and dialogue with those who do not have a direct relation to Inspera.
We are now extending the offer with three new themes.
Still free and open to all.
Every Tuesday 13.00: Task Development / Censorship – Biweekly
Every Thursday 13.00: Examination Planning / Implementation – Biweekly
