(Norsk) Informasjon om bibliotekets kurs for ansatte våren 2024
Be good in literature searching and reference software. The Medical library offers the following courses this spring:
- Searching in PubMed and Embase
- Introduction to Endnote
- Introduction to Zotero
- Introduction to systematic reviews
- Literature studies for Bachelor and Master students (in Norwegian)
The courses are planned as a hybrid solution, with the option of attending either physically or online via Zoom. The courses are mainly for employees and PhD candidates at the Faculty of Medicine and for employees at Helse Bergen. Courses for students are normally given as a part of their study program. If that isn’t the case, they can attend these courses as well. The courses are free of charge, but registration is necessary for our planning.
Dates, registration and more information can be found on the library’s web pages:

How to meet Open Science requirements
The University Library offers guidance and support services for adopting open science practices and meeting requirements from funders and policy makers
There has been an increasingly strong focus on open access to publications and research data and good data handling practices. This is reflected in expectations and demands from financiers, authorities and institutions.
In this webinar the university library will give a short introduction to:
- Open access to scientific publications (support for open publishing, open access agreements, requirements from funders (Plan S), guidelines at UiB)
- FAIR data management and open access to research data (requirements from funders, data management plans, data documentation and metadata, archiving and reuse of FAIR research data, citable code)
- Publication strategies (status for open publishing, visibility of own research and evaluation based on open science)
26.01.2024 – 10.15–11.00

Global Health EDCTP3 Work Programme 2024 Published
The Global Health European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership 3 Joint Undertaking (GH EDCTP3 JU) has released its Work Programme for 2024.
In 2024, the GH EDCTP3 JU will distribute €140 million through two calls, which are planned to be launched on 18 January 2024, with a stage 1 deadline of 4 April 2024:
Grantee of ERC – Permanent Position at the Faculty
The Faculty of Medicine, UiB (MED) is introducing from 01.01.24 a scheme that facilitates researchers who are awarded an ERC project to be permanently employed after the end of the project period at the institute where the research activity naturally belongs. The faculty will cover the salary cost at the institute. With this arrangement, we aim to stimulate increased application activity towards ERC, strengthen future medical research in Bergen, and make the faculty more attractive, especially for researchers early in their career.
The following criteria apply:
- The arrangement applies to individuals who are employed in postdoc or researcher positions, or in temporary positions as associate professors or professors at MED at the time of the ERC project award.
- The arrangement applies to individuals who move to MED with their ERC project from the start of the project period and who have their research activity at MED during the project period.
- The arrangement does not apply to individuals who are permanently employed as scientific staff at MED as associate professors or professors prior to the ERC award.
- Salary funds from the faculty will normally be provided after the completion of the ERC project. This means that candidates must secure their own salary from the ERC project or other sources during the project period.
- The position (associate professor or professor) will be advertised using the usual procedure as the project period nears its end, but the advertisement text will be tailored to the candidates’ scientific and methodological profile.
Research and Training Grants from the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS)
Members of FEMS Member Societies can apply for our grants. Research and Training Grants assist early career scientists in pursuing research and training at a European host institution in a country other than their own country of residence (and exceptionally to support research and training projects outside Europe). These grants may be used to contribute to travel, accommodation and subsistence costs of making the visit. Support is limited to a maximum of €5000.
Applicants
Applicants should be active microbiologists, having obtained their highest degree less than five years prior to the application deadline date or be a PhD student*. They should be a member of a FEMS Member Society. You can find a detailed overview of the requirements for this grant in the FEMS Grants Regulations.

Metabolic pathway analysis
Course description:
This course will provide an introduction to the computational analysis and reconstruction of both small and genome-scale metabolic networks. The main goal is to familiarize students with relevant state-of-the-art computational tools and databases, as well as to provide the students with hands-on experience in metabolic modelling approaches. Furthermore, we will cover the mathematical basis of constraint-based analysis of genome-scale metabolic models and provide a foundation for stability and control analysis of dynamic models. Link to the course description: Metabolic pathway analysis
Prerequisites:
Basic competence in a programming language (preferably Python) is expected. Basic knowledge in biochemistry, linear algebra and statistics are required.
Time: February 19th to March 1st, 2024. Please note that the course is two weeks.

Data science meetings – mark the dates!
We will have a “data café” at the faculty of medicine on the 30th of
January from 9 to 12. All interested in data science applied to medicine are invited to mingle around a nice breakfast. Then, two workshops will be organized: (1) “Introduction to data handling in python” by Jakub Vasicek and (2) “How to be Open about your Science?” by Julia Romanowska.
Many of you have asked for it and we are pleased to announce that we will have a joint MED-CBU seminar on the 21st of March at 11:15. Like last time the seminar aims to foster interaction between researchers at
MED and CBU and will be followed by a mingling lunch. If you are interested in joining these events please let Marc know (marc.vaudel@uib.no). If you have suggestion of activities, workshop, or want to help with the organization – it would be most welcome!
Thank you!
