Dear everyone,

Today, there is a lot of different information in the editorial, so please read everything

First and foremost: Congratulations to Eva Gerdts, this year’s winner of the Meltzer Prize for outstanding research dissemination. The acceptance speech at the Meltzer dinner was a brilliant example of why she really deserves the award!

This week we have started with the BOA workshops with Kristine Tangen that all associate professors and professors in at least 50% positions as well as all researchers and postdocs who are PI for a project have to participate. Next week there are more opportunities, remember to sign up (registration link has been sent to those concerned). This time around, the workshops will be held in Norwegian, but in the autumn there will be one in English

At the same time, I remind you that ALL external applications must be registered in our system at least 4 weeks before the application deadline so that the project economists can help you with the budget. The link is here: https://skjemaker.app.uib.no/view.php?id=16240232

And last but not least: it is not long until this year’s Working Environment Survey (ARK). It will be sent to all employees in at least 40% position on March 24th, and in order for us to have a good data basis to work with, it is important that as many people as possible (preferably everyone) respond!

Have a great weekend!

Silke

This year’s internal control focuses mainly on the disposal of chemicals. It is an important HSE measure to get an overview of this and remove those we no longer use.

Deadline for submission is 02.05.

On March 24th, all employees with a 40% position or more will receive a questionnaire by email. There have been significant changes in the survey since last time, some of the changes are:

• Now only asking about “management” as a function – not “my manager”
• More about role conflict and mastery climate
• New questions about:
• • Psychological safety
  • Unacceptable behavior

The survey gives you, as an employee, an opportunity to say something about how you are doing at work and how to influence your own work environment.

All employees at UiB are expected to contribute to a good working environment in their units, this time by responding to the work environment survey and participating in the follow-up of it.

The development of medtech products is characterized by a long time to market and requires significant equity financing to succeed. When launching a product in the medtech sector, there is an enormous jungle of words to navigate. Especially, the regulatory requirements are many and constitute a vast and unknown territory for entrepreneurs and investors. At Inventas, we have nearly 30 years of experience in product development and have developed a methodology (or playbook, if you will) for how we can adapt product, business, and regulatory roadmaps with a tailored go-to-market strategy. In the presentation, we will emphasize the success factors and pitfalls you will encounter in the roadmap and how we can adjust them both in terms of development stages and timing. This will enable you to develop a product (or a startup on a development path) in the fastest and most cost-effective way, without taking illegal shortcuts.
