Innovation
Innovation was one of the topics discussed at the spring’s strategy meeting. In collaboration with the The Department of Biomedicine, we follow up on the matter with a joint seminar on Innovation and biotechnology. May 11th, Professor Ulf Landgren from Uppsala University will hold two seminars on “Innovation and biotechnology” and “Molecular tools for high performance analyzes of proteins and nucleic acids”, the latter is held as a BBB-seminar. It also gives the opportunity to speak with Landgren in smaller groups.
Ulf Landgren delivers a number of inventions that are commercialized successfully, including Padlock method for amplification of DNA and “proximity ligation” that provides ultra-sensitive detection of molecules. The latter method led to the creation of the company OLink (www.olink.com).

Applying for summer vacation before 1 April
Employees at the University of Bergen apply for holiday in PAGA, and the employer confirms that the application has been approved in PAGA. If no holiday has been registered by 01.04.2017, the employer may enter a three weeks’ holiday for the employee and order that the holiday is taken out in this period. Any leftover holidays should be registered by 01.10.2017. If the total amount of holidays has not been registered by this date, the employer will fix a holiday and determine that it is taken out in this period. Information regarding holiday can be found in PAGA. Any changes in a registered holiday should be approved by the employer before the holiday is taken. The holiday balance in PAGA should be 0 for all employees by the end of the year.
