Responsibility and System for Personal Data at our Faculty
is the system that gives UiB an overview of all projects where personal data is processed. The system is intended to safeguard our statutory obligations and becomes even more important with the new Health Research Act, where the researcher’s personal responsibility is limited, while research institutions assume responsibility (system responsibility) for health research.
The faculty has proposed routines that will help ensure that research complies with applicable laws, ethical guidelines and follow up on UiB's responsibility as an institution responsible for research. This follow-up will take place in the RETTE system and responsibility will be placed at the department level since this is where the research takes place. The head of department will thus be responsible for the proper implementation of this.
The following measures will help safeguard this responsibility:
The institute appoints two RETTE contacts who receive training in technical use and regulations
Technical improvement in RETTE so that e.g. REK correspondence is directly entered, including final messages
Annual review of all projects registered in RETTE, with a short report to the faculty
Project managers who resign must ensure the transfer of responsibility for projects and data
Plan for deletion of personal data upon completion of all RETTE projects
DPIA, approvals and contracts must be stored on a server with access for the project manager and department management.
A mandatory e-course will be developed for registration and follow-up of projects in RETTE.
These measures will hopefully make it easier to ensure that projects are properly concluded, that responsibility is clearly assigned, and that personal data does not go astray. Ultimately, this is about public trust in research and willingness to participate in research projects.
Finally, let me thank you for the hard work of many of K2's academic staff with no fewer than five "Center for Outstanding Research" applications coordinated by K2 submitted this week.
This fall, we have taken the trip out of the office and out to visit the academic environments that teach at MED5 to MED9 and MED12.
The goal? To get to know each other better, learn more about what the professional communities are working on and finally put a face to who we send emails to!
We would love to have more people visit – would you like to visit us?
Did you know that the University of Bergen awards its own working environment award every year?

One Ocean Week (OOW) 2026 will be held 18–24 April for the fourth time. UiB is a main partner and will further strengthen its participation. The goal of the Bergen City Council and the Bergen Ocean City is to attract an international ocean conference at UN level by 2030, and UiB will actively contribute. An internal working group, led by Vice-Rector Kjell-Morten Myhr, coordinates UiB's activities and collaboration with local, national and international partners. Professional communities are encouraged to submit proposals for events related to the UN Decade of Ocean Research and "Ocean Decade Outcomes". There is an opportunity for financial support. The deadline for submissions is 15 December 2025 to email: OOW@uib.no.

Dear everyone,
This week, K2 researchers were well represented at DRIV's National Conference on Women's Health Research (LINK: click on "read more") with many inspiring presentations.
We also received the happy news that Stian Knappskog has been granted funding for his project from the Cancer Society, congratulations so much! And to those who have not received funding or are on the waiting list: keep going and don't give up! If you want to, contact the research advisers for tips on how to improve the application or what other sources of funding are available for your research. Although it is always discouraging to get rejected, you will not get any money when you do not even apply.
And speaking of applications: we are now in the final stages of the Center of Excellence (SFF) application round (step 1) and from K2 there are several who are listed as coordinators or partners. Already now, I would like to say thank you very much for the efforts of everyone involved (PIs, research advisors, economists, research group members, etc)! We'll have to keep our fingers crossed!
Have a great weekend!
Silke
