Research Council of Norway together with ten other research councils*, the European commission and the European Research Council (ERC) presented an initiative for full and immediate open access to research publications they fund as of 2020. The initiative is called Plan S and the potential consequences for career and research quality have sparked a fierce debate among researchers.
Everyone agrees that open access publication is good, but how to implement it have initiated headed discussions. Plan S means that Norwegian researchers with funding from the EU and Norwegian Research council will be barred from publishing their work in journals like Nature and Science from 1 January 2020. Novel laureate Edvard Moses says that the plan will have catastrophic consequences for Norwegian science and researchers, while others are more positive. One problem is that large and active research nations such as USA, Germany and China have chosen not to be part of the plan.
The Chief Executive Officer of Research Council of Norway, John-Arne Røttingen, will visit UiB to present the initiative and participate in a debate with UiB’s researchers.
Everybody is welcome and there will be plenty of time for discussion and input from the attendants.
Time: 7 December at 10.00-12.00
Venue: Dragefjellet skole, Magnus Lagabøtes plass 1, Auditorium 1
*France, Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, The Netherlands, Norway, Polen, Slovenia, Great Britain, Sweden and Austria.
Have a nice weekend
Amra and Eystein.

Gjennom erfarings- og kunnskapsdeling rundt studentaktive læringsformer vil vi utvikle undervisning og utdanning.
Læringsfestivalen skal inspirere, motivere og vise gode, nye og spennende tilnærminger til undervisning og læring i universitets- og høyskolesektoren.
Læringsfestivalen er en møteplass der undervisere og engasjerte i undervisning møtes og utveksler kunnskap, erfaringer, ideer, visjoner og problemstillinger, og hvor man kan knytte kontakter og etablere nettverk for videre samarbeid. Vi inviterer spesielt til et spor der forskningsresultater rundt studentaktive læringsformer presenteres.
Invitasjon til bidrag
Vi inviterer til å bidra med presentasjon, poster eller rundebordsdiskusjon. Vi tar imot abstracts med ønske om format til og med 14. desember 2018.
For mer informasjon og påmelding se her.

Welcome to a special and extended CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium at Panorama Hotel & Resort at Sotra, just outside Bergen. This time we will host a lunch-to-lunch symposium from Monday 19th– Tuesday 20th of November. The CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium is a forum to practice presenting projects, engaging in scientific discussions and interact with like-minded peers. In addition, to enjoy excellent and interesting scientific presentations.
The symposium will start with a delicious lunch, before proceeding with an excellent academic and scientific program, including an inspirational lecture by the experienced scientist, professor and vice dean of doctoral education at our faculty, Roland Jonsson. We will focus on how to improve scientific presentation skills, both through illustrations and orally, in the workshop; “How to make great figures and present your work in 3 minutes”. Here you will get an overview of “do’s” and “don’ts” from the experts. We will also be inspired by previous organizers of CCBIO JUSS who will give us ideas on the different aspects of life in academia.
Day two will bring research insights and inspiration from Professor Stein Ove Døskeland and his 45 years of research, and Researcher Nils Halberg, representing a young investigator leading an established research lab.
As always, there will be exciting scientific presentations from CCBIO junior scientists, both days, and if you have work that you would like to present, you may nominate yourself upon registration.
The modest participation fee for this symposium (500 NOK per person in double room, 1000 NOK in single room, ask your group leader for support) includes lunch both days, dinner and hotel stay in double or single occupancy, in addition to the organized bus transportation between Haukeland Campus and the Panorama Hotel & Resort at Sotra.
