ERC Proposal Reading Day

The Research Council of Norway organises “ERC Proposal Reading Days” for researchers who are planning an application to the European Research Council (ERC).

On the Reading Day you get the opportunity to read successful ERC grant proposals and see how a proposal can be structured. More than 60 Norwegian ERC-grantees have kindly given their consent to make their proposal available for the reading day.

18 April at 9-12 https://www.forskningsradet.no/en/events/2023/erc-reading-day-in-bergen-morning/

18 April at 12.30-15.30 https://www.forskningsradet.no/en/events/2023/erc-soknadslesedag-i-bergen-2/

Webinar: Dissemination, communication & exploitation – What’s what, and why do they all matter?

One of the building blocks contributing to the positive evaluation of your Impact section in a Horizon Europe proposal is a well-written sub-section of Measures to Maximise Impact that describes your planned dissemination, exploitation and communication activities.

During this webinar, we will dive deep into the understanding of the EC’s goals that stand behind these proposed activities and share with you numerous practical tips and tricks that will help you develop a competitive dissemination and exploitation part of your proposal, as well as a strong set of communication activities.

This webinar session will take place on March 30th 2023 at 10:30 CET.

On Saturday 22 April many UiB IT services will be unstable or unavailable for longer periods

The IT division will be performing continuity tests and training, which will cause larger and longer lasting outages than on a normal «change Saturday». We do not recommend working on the UiB campus network or with UiB IT services this day. External services (such as Microsoft 365) should work as normal as long as you avoid the UiB network.
Please note that this outage in April is on the fourth Saturday of the month, rather than the third as in our normal schedule. There will be no other change Saturdays in April.
Regards, The IT division

The Department’s Day 2023

I would like to remind you about the Department’s day 290323. It is a merger of the previous strategy seminar and the Health, Environment and Security Day (HMS). We aim to be at Solstrand with accommodation every two years. We were there in 2022, and therefore this year the seminar is local. We will be at the Eitri innovation building. We think that will be inspiring and exciting.

The program includes an article on clinical trials by newly appointed Professor of pediatrics, Camilla Tøndel. Clinical trials will receive a much greater focus in healthcare companies in the future, and here the university can be an important player.

Professor Camilla Krakstad from the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics has recently had a research term at Harvard Medical School and will talk about how she proceeds when it comes to collaboration on large-scale genetics analyses, something that is relevant now with the restrictions of the GDPR.

An absolute highlight will be that Dean Per Bakke will come to talk about the new economic everyday life and what it means for the faculty and department.

Then we will hear about an exciting study on the effect of a metabolite on delirium and the risk of hip fracture in elderly patients by newly appointed Associate Professor of Geriatric Lasse Gil.

The day ends with a presentation from the IT department regarding IT security. This is a very important topic that we must take very seriously.

It is still possible to register for the seminar! We can also tempt you with lunch, coffee and probably something unhealthy, but definitely good, with the coffee 😉

Have a great weekend!
