Journal of Trial and Error (JOTE) aims to showcase the importance of understanding and sharing the challenges/failures researchers face in their work. The Trial and Error Award, established by JOTE, celebrates the courage and transparency of researchers who embrace their scientific setbacks and share the invaluable lessons learned through failure.

Pop-up workshops are short, practical courses where you learn methodologies that will improve the way you work and collaborate with others. In this series, there are six different workshops offered: About keys to collaboration, about limitations as an innovative driving force, about testing and experimentation, about facilitation and meeting management, about continuous improvement work in practice and an introductory course to service development.
The workshops last 45-60 minutes each and are held at three different locations at UiB. The workshops are open to all employees.

Good Bread Christie
All knowledge development that the new rulers do not like must be stopped. Research areas are being closed down, employees are being laid off, data is being removed.
The institutions are being forced to self-censor in line with long lists of banned words. Troublesome individuals risk deportation or entry bans. This concerns us, quite directly: Much of the research at UiB is closely intertwined with collaboration with the United States. But what can we do? Boycott forums where we cannot express ourselves freely without harming our American co-authors? Invest in knowledge storage and infrastructure under European auspices? Offer asylum to persecuted colleagues?

Are you a researcher that wants to address a research problem so ambitious, that can not be dealt with you and your team alone? The Synergy Grants could be for you!
A group of two to maximum four Principal Investigators (PIs) working together and bringing different skills and resources to tackle ambitious research problems. One will be designated as the corresponding PI (cPI).
No specific eligibility criteria regarding the academic training are foreseen for ERC Synergy Grants.
PIs must present a competitive track record as appropriate to their career stage.
Proposals are evaluated on the sole criterion of scientific excellence which takes on the additional meaning of outstanding intrinsic synergetic effect.
Join us as AI experts from Microsoft Norway and Digital Norway give you the knowledge you need to get started with artificial intelligence in knowledge and technology businesses.
