Dear everyone!

Now we are embarking on a new chapter at K2: Together with K1, we have gathered areas in the laboratory building that will be transferred to the Laboratory Clinic at the hospital. This will save the faculty from rental expenses that “K3” will have added to its budgets, and in addition, the departments will save operating costs that are paid directly by the departments. This means that some research groups will have to move a little closer to each other, which hopefully will have a positive effect such as joint projects in the future.

In addition, we will have a mandatory workshop with Kristine Tangen for all our PIs (i.e. associate professors/professors in a main position and postdocs/researchers with their own projects) to gain more understanding of our finances. A registration link will be sent out soon, there will be several possible dates to sign up for.

And last but not least: Remember to nominate for the faculty’s awards! Link to the research awards can be found here, and to the teaching awards here. The deadline is 1.2.2025

Have a great weekend!

I will continue to work in 2025 to ensure that we have a good time at K2, both in terms of getting the economy in balance, but not least in terms of well-being. By showing consideration and respect, we contribute to a culture where everyone feels valued and motivated to do their best. And we should use all opportunities to brag about each other: Everyone can submit proposals for the faculty’s awards (teaching and research). For the education awards, the faculty wants nominations to come from groups, not individuals. We from the K2 leadership team are happy to receive suggestions here, with an internal deadline set for February 1, 2025. For the research awards (best publication, best doctoral degree, researcher/research group, dissemination and innovation), it is the departments that can nominate one candidate in each category (except PhD work, where we can nominate two candidates). Proposals can be submitted here, with an internal deadline set for 1 February 2025.

With this in mind, a happy story at the end that I just by coincidence got to know: Jone Trovik has received the award for best lecturer throughout medical studies from class 18B.

Congratulations!

Have a great weekend and enjoy the snow!
