Keenious is an example of a new type of academic search tool that utilizes technology based on artificial intelligence to find research articles. The University Library wants to test whether this is a useful supplement to traditional search tools. Therefore, students and staff at UiB will have access to Keenious Plus during the spring semester of 2024. The Plus version provides more features than the free version.
Read more here about how to use the tool and how to get started:

Essential ERC – A very basic introduction to the European arena for excellent science
13. feb kl 14:00 – 15:00
It is easy to assume that all researchers are familiar with the European Research Council (ERC) grants for excellent researchers at all stages. This is however not entirely true. This is a short, very basic webinar for early stage and mature researchers who wants to know more about the grants offered to excellent researchers at all experience levels. What can you apply for, how do you apply, when and at what stage? After the presentation, there will be a Q&A.
The webinar complements our other activities for applicants to the ERC, such as writing courses, proposal reading days and more.
The webinar is held in English.

RCN self-evaluation has been submitted
On Wednesday, K2’s self-evaluation was sent to the Research Council of Norway. It turned out to be a document of 268 pages. As with previous evaluations, this has taken a significant focus for the institute administration and those of you who contributed to the self-evaluation. In addition to the institute’s overall self-evaluation, the following research groups participated with their own self-evaluation:
- Bergen Respiratory Research Group by Tomas Mikal Lind Eagan
- Broegelmann by Helena Erlandsson Harris
- Endocrine Medicine by Eystein S. Husebye
- Research Group for Infection and Microbiology by Rebecca Jane Cox
- Drug Group by Lars Herfindal
- Mohn Center for Diabetes Precision Medicine by Pål R. Njølstad
- Oncology by Stian Knappskog
- Paediatric Follow-up Group by Camilla Tøndel
- Precision Oncology by Ola Myklebost
In addition, the following impact cases participated:
- Catching the rhythms by Eystein S. Husebye
- Changing clinical practice in childhood diabetes by precision medicine by Pål R. Njølstad
- Heart disease in women by Eva Gerdts
- Pandemic preparedness: the COVID-19 case by Rebecca Cox
The process ahead is a three-step evaluation. First, research groups are evaluated in expert panels categorized by field/discipline across sectors. Then, administrative units are evaluated in evaluation committees that are sector-specific. The third step is the national level, which includes all medical research in Norway. A selection of experts from the evaluation is used here.
The administrative units are the main object of the evaluation. Evaluation results for the research groups will be included in the evaluation report for the administrative unit to which they belong.
Many thanks to everyone who participated – especially Susanne and Silke – for great effort over a long period. Now we can enjoy the weekend with a clear conscience and hope for a good result!

Introduction to Research Ethics
The University of Bergen (UiB) has created the e-learning course “Introduction to Research Ethics,” which is recommended for all employees in scientific positions: https://mitt.uib.no/enroll/L4P4DJ. The course aims to ensure a good understanding of fundamental research ethical norms and guidelines. It is available in both Norwegian and English and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Sound research ethics are crucial for both the quality and integrity of research. Research ethics not only form the foundation but also serve as a key to maintaining trust in research, both for individual researchers and for UiB as an institution.
Dear everyone!
It’s again time to find younger, promising candidates for Trond Mohn Starting grants: The Trond Mohn Research Foundation (TMS) has announced a new round of TMS Starting grants with a final deadline of 8 March (more info here). Since there is a limit to the number of nominated candidates each department can promote, we ask interested applicants to send an outline of maximum 3 pages describing the candidate, the project, and the research community, and the candidate’s CV (TMS wants a CV of up to three pages that includes the most important and relevant publications).
The internal deadline is February 12. The project outline and CV must be sent to silke.appel@uib.no.
It is worth noting that this scholarship provides an opportunity to bring in external candidates, something both the foundation and the Faculty of Medicine strongly encourage.
And it is still possible to promote individuals for the faculty awards 😊
