Dear all of you!

Do you/your research group/teaching group know someone who has excelled in 2021, either on the research front (publication, research/innovation environment, PhD work, dissemination) or in terms of teaching? The Faculty of Medicine has announced several awards for 2021, so now you have the chance to nominate colleagues/environment (or yourself!). The categories are

 

  • Publication of the Year
  • Research group/innovation of the year
  • PhD work of the year
  • Award for outstanding research dissemination
  • Teaching award (There are no specific price categories, but a main price of NOK 150,000 and up to two more awards of NOK 50,000 each are awarded! )

We from K2 can put forward a candidate in each category, so do not hesitate to submit proposals (with justification) by Monday 7 February. More detailed information can be found here

Invitation SDG Conference Bergen

Leave a reply

 

 

To all employees.

We are approaching the fifth annual SDG Conference Bergen – hosted by UiB on the 9th to the 11th of February.

Like last year, the conference will be digital and free to attend. In 2021 the conference had over 2600 participants from more than 100 countries!

We will also repeat the success of arranging Day Zero to kick off the SDG Conference Bergen on the 9th of February.

On Day Zero, you can attend a number of very interesting seminars and workshops, all with different approaches to sustainability. If you teach students, many of the events could also be relevant to attend with your students. Perhaps the day’s lecture could be to attend one or several workshops?

There are more than 30 events to choose from, and the topics are varied. Take a look at the programme for Day Zero here: https://www.uib.no/en/sdgconference/148573/day-zero-wednesday-9-february-2022

This year’s fully digital conference also provides us with new opportunities to present emerging and important research by motivated PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows addressing the conference themes. We invite all those interested – from any disciplinary field – to send in digital posters on your research, relevant to the theme of the conference, before February 1st.  Read more here.

I hope you will enjoy the SDG Conference Bergen.

 

With best regards

Rector Margareth Hagen
