HEALTH is the main theme
The main theme in 2024 is “health”. Health concerns us humans physically and mentally, but also animal health and health in the oceans and nature are relevant research fields to communicate. UiB has a lot of relevant research to showcase, and we encourage academic communities to be inspired by the theme. However, it is equally desirable for UiB to communicate research that deals with other topics. All faculties and academic communities are encouraged to participate and showcase their research.

We are seeking contributions for this year’s festival
The following events are being planned (note deadlines for expressing interest):
1 Research fair at Festplassen
– Express interest by April 5th
2 School visits
– Express interest by April 5th
3 Researcher Grand Prix
– Application deadline April 30th
4 Research Days YOUNG
5 Other events
– Submit your own events for the program by May 15th.

Have you wondered where to find modern research instruments and who can help you use them? Or asked yourself which services are available to you and what you can use them for? The Faculty of Medicine is organizing an event where you can get to know all our core facilities and other research services used by our researchers.

At this event the core facilities and other research infrastructure available to researchers at the Faculty of Medicine will present their equipment and services and show how researchers successfully use them for cutting-edge discoveries. We will launch the Faculty’s new roadmap for research infrastructure. Join to discover how you can use our state-of-the-art research infrastructure in your projects.

Participating Facilities:
Metabolomics
Proteomics (PROBE)
Genomics (GCF)
Flow and Mass Cytometry
EliXir
Biophysics, Structural Biology, Screening (BiSS)
Molecular Imaging (MIC)
Nano/Tissue Regeneration (IKO)
Laboratory Animal Facility
Health Surveys
Biostatistics
Primary Care Network

There will be stands in the entrance hall where you can discuss your project, talk to other users, and sign up for guided tours of the platforms.
