Leave a reply

You are invited to the UiB Innovation Festival that will take place on September 20th from 9 to 14:30 at Nygårdsgaten 5. The festival is your opportunity to engage with the broad spectrum of innovation emerging from our university, discuss responsible research and innovation, consider how to balance the open science with protecting intellectual property, and reflect on how UiB can contribute to Vestland’s green transition. The event is a part of the InnovasjonsukenOPP and will be a meeting place for people from academia, businesses and public sector in the region.

For the full program, and registration visit the webpage of the UiB Innovation Festival 2024.

Most of the day will be in English, whilst the panel discussion and the UiB Ide Award will be in Norwegian.

Dear everyone,

I look forward to being back as (this time not just acting) head of K2! I started on July 1st and have an office on the 8th floor of the lab building. I know that this will be a challenging job and I will have to make some decisions that may not be so popular, but as everyone has noticed, K2 is in a very precarious financial situation so that we have to make changes to get back into balance. I am grateful for any suggestions and input you can provide. I will not make the decisions all alone, with me in the leadership of K2 continue Eystein Husebye as deputy director, Silje Skrede as head of innovation and Mia Holmaas as head of administration, and Camilla Tøndel is the new head of teaching. Many thanks to Mette Vesterhus for her brilliant efforts as head of teaching in recent years and Silje Skrede as acting head of teaching in recent months! I still need a new head of research, but I am working on it.

My goal is to have K2 as a place where people thrive and like to work, where you feel heard, seen and valued, and where you also have the infrastructure to be able to conduct clinical, translational and experimental research of high quality. I know that I am responsible for fantastic researchers, teachers, technicians and administrative supporters and not least students for the next 4 years, and together we will make it happen!

Webinar: How and where can you archive your research data?

Leave a reply

In this webinar, you will get a short introduction to the FAIR-principles, and how and where you can archive your research data. The webinar is planned for 20.09.2024 at 10.15–11.00.

You can read more here: How and where can you archive your research data? | University of Bergen Library | UiB

The goal of the University of Bergen is that data resulting from research activity should be made readily available for reuse in accordance with FAIR-principles. Researchers are encouraged to make their data openly available as early as possible in the research process

Sharing and re-using quality-assured research data is considered good scientific practice. Most funders, e.g. Norwegian Research Council or Horizon Europe, and publishers require that the research data from a project is made openly available. The saying is «as open as possible, as restricted as necessary», meaning that research data should be openly available unless prevented by legitimate considerations relating to security, protection of personal privacy, IPR or trade secrets.

Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) is now accepting applications for the ‘CAS Research Grant’ for 2026/2027.
