NFR and Horizon Europe require projects to submit a data management plan (DMP). A data management plan describes how data in a research project will be collected, processed and made available. This workshop allows you to work with your own DMP and receive feedback. In light of the NFR’s new assessment criteria from 2023, it is even more important to know how a data handling plan must be designed and adhered to in order to ensure open sharing and widespread access to research results.
Introduction to Data Management Plans (DMP) | University of Bergen Library | UiB
When/Where: 25.11.2022; Zoom
Registration deadline: 24.11.2022
What is happening on the research front at the Faculty of Medicine?
The K2 Leader Group asks scientic personnel for sketches on a maximum of one A4 page of research areas/projects that are relevant to focus on in the coming years and that are good starting points for collaboration across departments/faculties/institutions, see below. The proposals are sent to research advisor Susanna Pakkasmaa (Susanna.Pakkasmaa@uib.no) by Monday 28 November.
Background (information from Dean of Research Marit Bakke)
The faculty management, in consultation with the Department Heads at the Faculty of Medicine, has decided that they will map directions and central activities in research at the Faculty. The purpose is to identify areas for collaboration across Departments and other institutions so that we can better develop impactful projects that are competitive in relation to external funding and dissemination. It may be appropriate to separately promote prioritized initiatives for external funding sources.
In this context, the Faculty asks the Departments to identify research areas/projects that are relevant to focus on in the coming years and which are good starting points for collaboration across Departments/Faculties/Institutions.
Process at K2
The Department Management at K2 has discussed the matter and decided that we want an open process where all academic staff will have the opportunity to put forward proposals. Since we can only forward five proposals, it is important that the proposals include several researchers and preferably several environments and themes across research groups, Departmentys and possibly Faculties.
It is important that the proposals represent innovative top research that we shall focus on the next years.
Good luck with the process!

Are you curious?
Or to rephrase, are you interested, inquisitive and questioning? Asking many questions, challenging established truths, finding alternative solutions, makes us smarter and better researchers. In Harvard Business Review you can read about the “Surprising Power of Questions” (https://hbr.org/2018/05/the-surprising-power-of-questions)
The authors summarize that asking questions is a unique tool for learning and exchanging ideas. It makes conversations more productive, gives innovation better results and it builds trust in the organization. It can also uncover unforeseen dangers and pitfalls. Despite this, many of us probably do not think that asking questions is an art that can be developed and improved. By asking questions you improve your emotional intelligence, which in turn makes us better questioners. The article gives tips on how different questions should be used – “not all questions are created equal”.
As researchers and teachers, we can also become better at asking questions, we can learn more and I believe our research will be better – what is the question you want answered when you do an experiment, and what is your lab neighbour doing?
I hope you will be inspired to become more questioning and curious.
Have a good weekend

Reusing research data can open new avenues of research and avoids unnecessary duplication of efforts.
Sharing and re-using quality-assured research data is considered good scientific practice. Most funders, e.g. Norwegian Research Council or Horizon Europe, and publishers require that the research data from a project is made openly available. Reusing these datasets as secondary data avoids unnecessary duplication of efforts and can inspire new avenues of research. For example, new questions or methods can be applied to a dataset, or data from different studies or disciplines can be integrated. In this webinar you will learn how you can use existing datasets as a resource for your research.
The webinar Friday 11 November will give an introduction to FAIR research data as a resource, explain data citation, and demonstrate strategies to efficiently discover datasets in your discipline.

Join us for the fourth UiB AI meeting, where you will get examples from some of the most cutting edge research within Medical AI.
From dementia to personalized medicine. The use of artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly prevalent in medical research and will continue to push the boundaries of what medical research is, and can do.
In this seminar, you will get some highlights from medical AI research at the University of Bergen. We invite students and faculty members from different disciplines to learn more and engage in discussions about the use of artificial intelligence in medicine.
Upcoming webinar: Integrating research data management services using maDMPs (machine-actionable data management plans).
The webinar will take place on 22nd of November, 17:00 – 18:00 UTC.

We are happy to announce that we have recently got a new machine installed at the core facility.
It is a 5 laser Sony ID7000 spectral flow cytometer with the possibility to investigate 44+ colors, limited only by the fluorochromes available. Spectral flow cytometry has unique optical collection capabilities measuring the complete fluorescent spectra, and analytical capabilities compared to conventional flow cytometry. It also has the capabilities to detect small particles down to 160-nm.
