The webpages are updated every second week. New calls are marked as NEW.
New for this week are the opening of the call for Innovative Medicines Initiative and the announcement of deadlines for ERC Starting Grant and ERC Synergy Grant. Please also note that if you have collaboration with researchers in Switzerland, you can be funded through their research council.

Desperately seeking … TEACHERS
At K2 we do have many teaching contributions: pharmacy, nutrition, molecular biology and dentistry, but the most comprehensive is the medical curriculum with all its facets from the basal anatomy, physiology and biology to the whole panorama of diseases (in addition, contributions from the university for the education of medical specialists are being asking for). As university employees we ALL have to contribute as teachers/facilitators, although at different levels. The academics hold the responsibility for lecturing, but specific student courses may need assistance from technicians/non-medical scientists. Students will also need mentoring during specific projects in handling instruments/machines and statistics.
PhD students with UiB scholarships are to fulfil a proportion of compulsory service/work. With relevant medial background I will ask for their appropriate time/share to be allocated for teaching. PhD students with other scientific backgrounds will be prioritized for other needy/worthy tasks. It is important that each mentor inform their PhD candidates accordingly regarding these UiB expectations and actively encourage them to participate in teaching activities. Other “non-UiB scholarship” candidates are encouraged to participate in teaching activities. During their PhD training, the candidate shall participate in academic dissemination. Teaching activities will be one way of fulfilling this. In addition, planning for future scientific employment, teaching experience is important. Hopefully I will be informed of who may be included as teacher from the new pool of PhD candidates.
The teaching day 2 May has a teaching portfolio as a theme, precisely to enable us to document and visualize teaching skills.
OSCE (Objective Structured Clincal Exam), or station exam in Norwegian, is used for pharmacy already, while in Medicine 2015 it will be held for the first time in full scale for a full litter of students on 20 June. We need that teachers from the first to the sixth semester make exam paper proposals. This must be reported to K1 OSCE responsible, professor Eirik Søfteland.
K2 shall be responsible for implementing the final OSCE for the 12th semester. There, we need to find a person with an interest in teaching/evaluation that will help lead the work towards the first exitOSCE in June 2019. Do you have experience (graduated from e.g. the Netherlands or the UK?), or just want to take the challenge with a new part of the educational range: contact me! Or tell me someone you think will suit this; “tip phone” = jone.trovik@med.uib.no.

The criteria for allocation of funds are:
- The application must be professionally relevant and supported by the research group leader.
- The research group must contribute with 50% of the costs.
Link to application form here.
Written applications can be sent to Julie Stavnes.
Do you need more bookshelves?
We have 8 bookshelves of the type as shown in the picture. These are now on the 9th floor of the lab building and need new homes. If anyone is interested, they can contact Marius by email as soon as possible.

Changes in the practice of research education at the Faculty
Recently, some changes have been made in the practice of research education at the Faculty. Changes and clarifications apply to English requirements, co-authorship statement and impartiality for supervisors.
More information can be found here. (Link in Norwegian.)
Elections to the University Board | Nominations for Group B
A member and three deputies for Group B, temporary academic staff in teaching and research positions, shall be elected to the University Board.
Deadline for nominations is 15 March.
More information can be found here.
At the same time, elections for groups B and D, the students, will be held to the Faculty Board and Institute Council.
Workshop on EC’s expert database | 13 March
Workshop on “Registration for the EC’s expert database and how to increase your chances to be selected”.
On Tuesday 13 March (at. 9:00–11:00), Kristof Vlaeminck, head of the UiBs Brussels Office, will give a workshop on how to register for the expert database of the European Commission in order to be a potential evaluator of Horizon2020 projects. After an introduction by the pro-dean of research, Marit Bakke, and a short overview of the different aspects of the registration, the participants will start creating their profile while Kristof assists them. The aim of the workshop is that all participants have finished registering and can be selected by the European Commission. Don’t forget to bring your own laptop if you participate to the workshop.
The workshop will take place in the faculty boardroom, 4th floor, Armauer Hansens Hus. To register for the workshop, please send an email to: Ingunn.Flatebo@uib.no.
