Announcement of Research program in Women’s Health
It is widely recognized that research related to women’s health traditionally has received less attention and has been poorly funded. Further research on women’s health and women’s bodies is essential to provide women with good and accurate health care. TMF has set aside a maximum of 24 MNOK for this research program, which will be matched by UiB and Helse Bergen.
In particular, the program is intended to contribute to the scientific and strategic development of the newly established Center for Research on Women’s Health, Driv, at the Faculty of Medicine, UiB.

Innovative Health Initiative-Funding source with emphasis on implementing innovative solutions
“Innovative Health Initiative” (IHI) is a funding source which may not be well known in the Deartment yet, possibly because the first call for proposals was launched in 2022. IHI is partially funded by the EU and partially by industry associations within the natural sciences (pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology, medical technology). The calls from IHI differ from those we primarily associate with the EU. There is a focus on innovation, but with an emphasis on implementation rather than innovation at low TRL levels. One of the main goals is to facilitate the transition from industry-derived innovations to application in healthcare services to achieve the transformation required in the healthcare services in the future. This is reflected in the calls, which have so far been relatively specific. For instance, one of last year’s calls focused on “Patient-centered blood sample collection to enable decentralized clinical trials and improve access to healthcare,” focusing on the use of already established methods for such blood sampling. It is a requirement, not just a strength, that partners from industry and/or public administration be involved in the projects, and it is often industry partners who initiate the consortium.
At the moment, IHI calls 6 and 7 are active, with deadlines approaching soon. Therefore, next year’s calls may be more relevant. Establishing a good consortium will be a comprehensive process. Joining as a partner in projects initiated by others can be a good approach. On IHI’s website, there is a tool for registering as a potential partner and building networks. Potential partners from Norway are considered interesting, but one should consider specific Norwegian issues, such as healthcare financing, in relation to relevant projects. Another tip is to become a member of relevant COST networks. Here, there are often potential partners interested in working towards EU-related applications. An overview of active COST actions can be found on the COST website: : https://www.cost.eu/
One final point is that IHI welcomes input regarding future calls, allowing stakeholders to influence future directions.
Day of Immunology
The Norwegian Society of Immunology (NSI) will celebrate this year’s Day of Immunology, a world-wide project aiming to present different aspects of immunology to the general public (http://www.dayofimmunology.org/). This year’s theme is “Immunity through the ages: Navigating the science of aging and immunology”, and it will be celebrate with a popular science seminar with invited speakers at Litteraturhuset in Oslo which will be streamed to Vilvite (big auditorium), Saturday the 27th of April, from 1100 to 1300.
The program is enclosed. The seminar is open to everyone (but will be in Norwegian). Welcome!
From breakthrough technologies to game changing innovation – EIC opportunities
When: 07 May 08:30 – 12:00
Where: Digital and The Research Council of Norway, Drammensveien 288, Lysaker
The EIC is Europe’s leading innovation program to identify, develop, and scale up breakthrough technologies and ground-breaking innovations. The EIC wants your breakthrough technology to reach the market and has tools ranging from research, through commercialization, to scaling. Few Norwegian researchers and companies apply for the EIC.
Researchers and companies that have applied for the EIC will share their stories. We will get information about EIC’s tools; Pathfinder, Transition and Accelerator.
There will be an introduction by EIC’s chairman, Michiel Scheffer.
This is a hybrid event. Those participating in the Research Council’s premises in Drammensveien 288 will be able to sign up for a free lunch after the event.
Those who will participate in person can book bilateral meetings with the EIC NCPs in the afternoon. Get in touch with Waqar Ahmed (Norwegian Research Council) or Eva Langslet (Innovation Norway) to arrange this.
This event is relevant for researchers, companies, TTO, research leaders, research and innovation administrators, EU advisors and innovation advisors.

Happy Easter!
Whether you spent your days in the mountains, abroad, or at home in Bergen, I hope you had time for family and friends and managed to recharge your batteries.
Now we’re heading into a term leading up to summer, which tends to be busy with OSCE exams and application deadlines. I encourage you once again to apply for FRIPRO NFR, as there are currently very few applications, increasing your chances of success. Additionally, consider EU and ERC, which actually have higher success rates than NFR 🌟.
Here are some important meetings involving all or some of you that deserve your support:
- Wednesday, April 17, 9:00 AM–12:00 PM: Faculty Day (for everyone): Awards ceremony and exciting lectures. Let’s celebrate this fantastic day together!
- Tuesday, April 30, 8:30 AM–2:00 PM: K2 Seminar (for everyone): Focus on practical AI use and safety.
- Wednesday, May 8, 11:30 AM–12:30 PM: Joint lunch at Eitri (for everyone).
- Wednesday, May 15: Faculty Lunch (for academic staff): Dean Per Bakke, CFO Kristine Tangen, and Faculty Director Synnøve Myhre will discuss the impact on our faculty when “all” state funds go toward defense.
- Wednesday, June 12, 11:30 AM–12:30 PM: Joint lunch at Eitri (for everyone).
Have a wonderful weekend!
