On this shortest day of the year, take the opportunity to lower the pace a little, sit back and think about the year soon ending. All in all, the K2 year 2018 has been good. A lot of good research and teaching has been performed and we have achieved the goals we set at the start of the year. We have also been able to present out work to the public on numerous occasions, not least through the program Norge nå shown on NRK last week.

Next year will be as busy as 2018, but before that, you can all take a well-deserved Christmas break. I hope everyone will have time to connect with family and friends and have a good and relaxing time.

The management at K2 wishes all employees and partners a happy Christmas and Happy New Year.
