Data protection and privacy for individuals is the right to privacy and the right to decide on your own personal data. GDPR Article 30 strengthens the requirements for overview and control. UiB has a legal responsibility to safeguard the privacy of employees, students, and research participants. In order to meet this responsibility, RETTE is now being implemented to ensure compliance with and increased competence for key legislation in research and education.
RETTE stands for risk and compliance (Risiko og ETTErlevelse ) in research projects, and is UiB’s system for monitoring and control of the processing of personal data in research and student projects. The system will also have an overview and control of tasks and projects related to quality assurance of patient care and teaching, and projects related to learning analysis purposes.
RETTE will be available for registration of information on projects that process personal data at UiB from October. The Faculty of Medicine is the faculty that first gains access to the RETTE. Registration, follow-up and confirmation of projects will be carried out in the administrative line with RETTE arranging for responsibility for confirmation from the project manager, the department management, and the faculty management on their project portfolio.
RETTE aims to increase the competence in the privacy rights for students and staff, and should be a tool for the institutes at UiB so that they can be sure that personal data is processed in accordance with current legislation.
In practical terms, RETTE is a website linked to UiB.no/personvernportalen where no installation or special technical skills are required to use the system. The system consists of a registration module for students and staff, and an admin module for the use of institutes, faculties and management.
There are role-based approaches in RETTE, and the Dean and Head of Department designate and select faculty and department heads for RETTE within the system. At K2, it is research leader Silke Appel who will be operationally responsible for monitoring projects in RETTE.
Health research projects must first seek REK. Approved projects are then transferred to RETTE from Cristin, and researchers will be told to provide supplementary information in the RETTE. Projects requiring exemption from the duty of confidentiality must first seek REK, and follow the procedure in RETTE. Completing the form in RETTE is stated to take approx. 10 minutes. For more information, see https://www.uib.no/personvern.
It is great that UiB takes the Privacy Act and GDPR seriously. RETTE seems to be a tool that is practical and useful for the purpose.
Happy fall holidays!

Om Biomedical Network:
Biomedical Network er et nettverkssamarbeid mellom Helse Bergen, Universitetet i Bergen (UiB), Legemiddelindustriforeningen (LMI) og VIS. Nettverket tar sikte på å bli en felles plattform for innovasjon og prosjektutvikling på tvers av akademiske, offentlige og private aktører, og er støttet av Norges Forskningsråd (NFR).
I heile veke 43 blir vegen nord for Sentralblokka stengd for innkøyring av bilar. Dette må gjerast på grunn av at store stålelement til Glasblokkene skal heisast inn på byggeplassen.
Campusbussen vil ikke ha stoppested i Sentralblokken nord i uke 43. Følg med på campusbussens nettside for nærmere informasjon om midlertidig stoppested.
Mer info finner du her.
We encourage PhD and postdoc candidates to register for this year’s K2 Junior Retreat, which will be held in Myrkdalen, Voss on November 4-5. Supervisors should also encourage their candidates to participate. The Retreat is not primarily a social happening, but an arena for academic and personal development and networking that the candidates can benefit from. This year’s themes include creative thinking and how to alleviate work-related strain through constructive approaches for more efficient work.
The program can be downloaded here.
Candidates are asked to fill out the abstract template which can be downloaded here.
Registration is done here.
The deadline is October 11.
Welcome!
The Organizing Committee
Pasteurlegatet will award a grant on the 27th of December this year to young Norwegian scientists who intends to study a topic regarding infectious agents, chemistry or fermentation industry.
The grant is preferably given to young, active and promising researchers, under the doctoral level. Emphasis is placed on documentation of preliminary results and evaluations of their efforts. Priority is given to specific operational and equipment-related needs, rather than traveling, accommodation, general study support and publication expenses. It is usually not granted support more than twice to the same person. However there is the possibility of exceptions in special cases.
Any award will ordinarily not exceed 15.000, – NOK.
The application must include a short project description with a budget (up to 3 pages) and a curriculum vitae (maximum 2 pages).
The application should be submitted by December 1, 2019 to Pasteurlegatet’s secretary Mari Støen, Department of Microbiology, University of Oslo, Oslo University Hospital to email: mari.stoen@medisin.uio.no
