Today, Professor Eystein Husebye had an opening symposium for his new K.G. Jebsen Center for Medical Research at UoB. K2 congratulates!

Helse Vest IKT plans to change two switches in the Laboratory Building on Sunday 27 August from 3 p.m. and until at latest 2 a.m. the following night. Those affected are the 4th, 5th and 6th floors of the Laboratory Building.

There will be slightly different time from room to room when PCs and equipment will be offline during this period, but there will be up to several hours of downtime for some of the rooms. If some PCs need online almost the entire period, IKT can look for solutions for this. They want a prompt feedback if the actual time period is not appropriate for everyone.

Operating message will be announced immediately after the time has been confirmed.

Questions can be addressed to technician Asle Haugland Bøyum at Helse Vest IKT.

The Faculty of Medicine informs about the following to all employees regarding the workplace during the Cycling World Championships in Bergen 16–24 September:

All employees have as usual attendance at their normal workplace during this period. If some employees need shorter working days because of children who have to be brought to school / kindergarten, they must be taken by each individual’s flex-time period, and you may deviate from internal core time as needed and in agreement with the manager.

Home office is not an option, although UiB on its website indicates that “UiB will be able to allow employees to work from home during the cycling world championships”, and that “this can be agreed with leader”.

Our work tasks are performed as normal at the workplace at UiB.

Too many employees will not be able to get to the workplace by car as roads are closed or with reduced accessibility. Nevertheless, it should be possible for everyone to meet at the workplace using other means of travel. You may expect a longer travel time than normal. We encourage all employees to calculate good time on the road to work and get into a modified travel routine.

In agreement with the department / unit, it is of course possible to take holiday, and you may also agree on overtime withdrawals during this period.

Hospital Operations (Hospitaldrift) Transport will use the ramps and locks in the goods receipt in the Laboratory Building in large parts of 4, 5 and 6 September. They are going to move 45 ultra-freezers from the Laboratory Building to Marie Joys Hus.

The assignment is carried out in the period at. 09:00–15:00.

We will encourage our users to avoid ordering large deliveries on pallets with delivery these days.

Contact person at HD Transport for this assignment is Erik Bauge (77133 / 913 95 660).

The Cycling World Championships in Bergen is approaching, and when this event takes place (16–24 September), the city center will be closed to through-traffic by car.

During this periode, it will be difficult or impossible for UiB’s suppliers to deliver goods to large parts of the business. The Office for Purchasing at UiB therefore requests that you check the stock of goods needed during the Cycling World Championships, and, if necessary, order goods that can be delivered before the event starts.
