Dear everyone,

This autumn we will spend a little more time to have better routines around RETTE (System for Risk and ETTerlevelse) – Processing of personal data in research projects and student assignments at UiB (Rette). In most cases, project information is transferred directly from the REK portal, but check that all mandatory information is provided. In this context, I would also like to remind you that the Health Research Act requires REK approval for all research on Norwegian territory or when the research is carried out under the auspices of a research manager established in Norway (https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/2008-06-20-44). This therefore applies to all projects where someone from UiB is involved in analyzing data or financing analyses, i.e. when researchers from UiB are involved in the generation of new knowledge about health, even if the project is carried out abroad (with REK approval there) or the data is located on a server abroad (for example on the UKBiobank server). So check if this applies to your projects, if you are in doubt, contact REK!

Autumn is also the time when I remind you of employee interviews. This year, I will have performance appraisals with all research group and core facility managers, while the research group leaders have performance appraisals in the research group. Research group leaders will also receive more information about this at our next meeting on Tuesday.

Hopefully, most of you have seen the OSKE12 posters where you can register your participation. OSKE12 is a comprehensive exam that requires an important interaction between academic and administrative resources. It consists of four loops with 12 stations in each, where the students are divided into 2 pools, one before and one after lunch. In order for all of this to run smoothly, we need as many helpers as possible. This is an exciting day and not least a great opportunity to meet colleagues across departments and faculties. OSKE12 will be held on December 4. Registration link: https://skjemaker.app.uib.no/view.php?id=19789389

And finally: remember to register the remaining holiday for 2025 before 1.10.25.

Have a really good weekend!

Dear everyone,
Det var veldig kjekt å se mange av dere på instituttets dag på mandag. Du kan lese og laste ned presentasjonene ved å trykke på «les mer».

The main focus was the FAMU survey, and the groups came up with many good suggestions for improvements and things worth preserving. What made me especially happy was that a recurring theme in many groups was the strong sense of collegiality that people want to maintain. I completely agree with that!There are many areas for improvement, and one that was mentioned several times was the need for shared meeting arenas across groups.

Now the groups have to organize an action meeting separately (some have already managed it on Monday!), then we will have a joint meeting for everybody to go through the results together. The summary will then be published in K2nytt.

Intense work is being done on the multi-campus model, and now a consultation has been sent out. I encourage all the academic communities to take the time to read through the documents and provide constructive input. Here it is important to think holistically, not just your own subject and your own campus.

Have a really good weekend!

Silke
