We are happy to invite you all to the CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium, December 6, 2023. This seminar series is a perfect place to meet and interact with other young scientists. We anticipate lively and interesting discussion also this time. We are looking forward to the keynote lecture by CCBIO Professor Dana Costea, who will share her story about how and why she ended up in cancer research. The program spans several exiting topics including preclinical development of new therapeutics in mantle cell lymphoma, the link between salivary gland manifestation and renal disease in Sjøgren’s Syndrome and how brain-blood derived exosomes may act as biomarkers in multiple sclerosis (MS). A novel tool for spatial analyses of the tumor microenvironment will also be presented.
Please register within December 4th at 11.00.
When: December 6, 2023, at 09.00-13.00
Where: Auditorium B302, Sentralblokka, Haukeland University Hospital 3rd floor, Bergen

In UiB’s application portal, an overview is provided of various foundations from which it is possible to apply for funds. These foundations have research and education at the University of Bergen as their statutory purposes.
The target audience includes employees, doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and students at UiB. Some of the foundations also allow external individuals to apply for funds. Information about who can apply can be found by examining each foundation in the portal.
In the application portal, it is also possible to filter based on the applicant group (employee, student, doctoral candidate, etc.) and/or the field of study to which one belongs, and relevant foundations will be displayed.
The general application deadline is January 12, 2024.
Note that the Astri and Edvard Riisøens legacy is not yet included in the application portal but will be added soon. The legacy provides funding for research on cardiovascular diseases and other unexplored diseases, such as cancer and rheumatic disorders.
Also, please refer to the faculty’s website (in Norwegian) that deals with funds and legacies. This page will be updated if funds are announced from foundations not included in UiB’s application portal.

Help build medical research in Western Norway
On Tuesday this week, a joint research day was organized between the Faculty of Medicine and Stavanger University Hospital. Many projects were presented illustrating what we can achieve together.The papers presented by a representative from each campus emphasized the utility of registries and the strength of large patient cohorts. Including both Bergen and Stavanger in a study means that the number of participants can be doubled, which can be the difference between a mediocre study and excellent study as it is easier to obtain statistically significant findings. Camilla Krakstad also highlighted the opportunities that lie in a research stay abroad and how good registers and biobanks make us attractive collaborators. The K2 management is now actively working to improve collaborations between Stavanger and Bergen and encourage colleagues to build research groups together. Many of the groups in Bergen are larger than in Stavanger and it can therefore be a good idea to include colleagues in the groups where it is natural to collaborate. How this is solved in practical terms is up to each group, but joint research meetings digitally and physically are a good place to start. To invite each other to university tasks such as committee work is a way to facilitate interactions. Building joint projects should strengthen competitiveness when applying for research grants. There are also good synergies to be gained on the teaching side, where we should collaborate more, coordinate teaching plans, share teaching materials and exams. If subjects and exams come at the same time, we can use the same assignments. In other words, there are many possibilities to collaborate here. The next time we organize such a meeting, it would also be good if those who do not have ongoing collaborative projects between our campuses to participate, it could pay off.
Have a good weekend when time comes,
Eystein Husebye
Vice Head of Department

We publish draft information on future call topics a few months ahead of the official call launch. We do this to give you additional time to find or build a consortium and prepare a strong proposal. Note that as draft topics are still under development, the texts may change considerably between the versions published here and the call launch, and you should always check the final, approved topic texts once the calls are launched.
The following topics are under consideration for inclusion in IHI call 6 (two-stage) and IHI call 7 (single-stage):
The topics are currently under consultation with the States’ Representatives Group (SRG) and the Science and Innovation Panel (SIP). They may therefore change considerably between the versions published here and the call launch, and applicants should check the final, approved topic texts once the calls are launched.
