Dear everyone,
I have had every reason to be proud to be the leader of K2 this week: at yesterday's ceremonial honorary doctorate conferment ceremony, the candidate nominated by K2, Anna Louise Gloyn, was appointed honorary doctor. She has had many years of collaboration with Pål Njølstad and his group.
On Tuesday we received the happy news that two of our SFF applications will advance to the final, led by Pål Njølstad/Marc Vaudel (Center for Early-Life Diabetes Mechanisms) and Eystein Husebye/Anette Wolff (Centre for Reciprocal Rhythms in Immunology, Somnology and Endocrinology). Congratulations, it is very nice that both applications from the Faculty of Medicine that advanced to the final are from K2! And to those who did not advance: do not give up, I really appreciate the effort you have made. Maybe there are some opportunities to apply for NFR FRIPRO with parts of the application instead? It is still possible to apply for application support for that via the link that appears when you click on "read more" at the bottom. The deadline is May 24. Funds for applying to NFR FRIPRO (deadline 24.5.26).
Finally, I just want to remind you of the institute meeting on Thursday 28 May at 10-11:30 Auditorium 1 BBB, where we will get to know the finance working group and everyone has the opportunity to provide input.

Have a really good weekend!
Silke
