To our PhD candidates, postdocs and researchers: The next K2 Junior Retreat will be a full-day seminar at Alrek Helseklynge on April 27, save the date! The seminar provides a unique opportunity for networking with others in a similar situation at our department, and this time we will focus on scientific writing and handling expectations/challenges in the candidate-supervisor relationship, among other relevant topics. A registration form will be sent out shortly. The Organizing Committee
The survey is a key element of the study commissioned by the European Commission Directorate General for Research and Innovation. It aims to support the assessment of EU Missions, the review of mission areas and the analysis of EU Missions’ portfolio of instruments and actions
The study endeavours to collect insights regarding the missions’ selection process, their governance, budget, instruments and actions as well as their focus and progress to date. The study seeks to identify what has worked well and less well, draw lessons and make suggestions for improvement in the short and longer-term of EU Missions’ implementation.
The next EATRIS-Plus Summer School in Personalised Medicine will take place on 17-20 April 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal.
The overarching topic of the summer school is multimodal biomarkers and diagnostics.
The summer school aims to fill the educational gap in the need for highly qualified translational researchers in personalised medicine. The course targets primarily senior researchers and is expected to be attended by late-stage PhD students, Postdocs, researchers, academics, medical doctors, clinicians, and healthcare professionals interested in or working in the field of personalised medicine.
Applications close on 10 March 2023

Export control and export license – a new dimension to advertising and filling positions
Export control and sensitive knowledge transfer means that certain goods, technology and services cannot be exported from Norway without a license issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. PST and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs do not have detailed knowledge of what is subject to a license, it is the institutions and professional communities that must assess this.
For our part, export control is mainly about control of knowledge transfer and research collaboration, with associated mapping of equipment and technology required to be licensed as well as awareness when exchanging students/employees, guest lecturers, data security etc.
As Head of Department, I must assess whether an export license should be applied for, based on the candidate’s nationality and whether the subject area in which the person is to work is sensitive, and may therefore be problematic in relation to the export control regulations/knowledge transfer.
An export license is mainly applied for when there are candidates who come from the countries: Iran, China, Pakistan and Russia. Applications are made regardless of whether the candidates reside in countries other than their citizenship.
HOW SHOULD WE AT K2 RELATE TO THIS?
I will assess early in the recruitment process whether the position is within a sensitive subject area. When scientific positions are to be advertised, the text of the announcement to this effect must be worded if the subject area requires it:
“UiB is subject to the regulations for export control and the regulations apply when processing applications for the position”.
An export license is applied for if I consider that the subject area is sensitive, and the candidate(s) has a nationality which means that it should be applied for. An application for an export license is sent before an offer letter is sent to the candidate.
The HR employee can send out an offer letter when we have received feedback that the candidate is not subject to a license. If necessary, reservations can be included in the offer letter and/or the employment contract pending a response from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the application for a license.
I will assess whether the subject area and the candidate’s nationality indicate that we should apply for an export license. Applications are sent well in advance of the planned stay.
HOW TO DO?
When a position is to be advertised, the person wishing to advertise the position must send information to me about the following:
WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
Processing of the application by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can take 3-6 months. It is therefore important that the time aspect is carefully assessed before the announcement and that, if necessary, appears from the advertisement text that the appointment of the candidate must take place soon. If so, this will be emphasized when recommending and offering the position.
This is complicated, and the most practical method has not yet been found. A representative from PST will come to our department head meeting in 1-2 weeks so that we can find out more about what an export license means and how we should proceed.
Have a great weekend!

Are you a master’s student, PhD student or young postdoc at K2? Do you want to receive targeted information about funding opportunities, courses and other activities that are relevant to young scientists? Then sign up for the k2youngtalent mailing list by sending an email to your research advisor (susanna.pakkasmaa@uib.no)!
Interested applicants should visit the Proposal Application Guidelines on the Peder Sather Center Website. All application materials must be submitted by the deadline of April 3, 2023.
CEDAS, the Center for Data Science at UiB (UiB.no/cedas), and NORBIS, the national research school in bioinformatics, biostatistics and systems biology (norbis.w.UiB.no), are preparing a joint summer school for starting as well as for experienced data scientists, especially for graduate (and undergraduate) students, PhD candidates, and PostDocs. We anticipate having this 4 or 5 days summer school on selected topics in data science in (or near) Bergen, likely during August 2023. Given the increasing relevance of data science in modern science and applications, we are excited about this upcoming summer school, the lessons to learn, and the new connections to form between the participants.
With this, we kindly ask you to participate in a short survey which helps us to better understand the topics of special interest in data science, given that you are interested in (possibly) participating in this summer school. Also, we wish to learn about the background of the participants to inform our preparations. Your input helps us to target the participants and their interest as well as possible. Please note that the survey is adapted to more than NORBIS members and will ask for a few more things that we normally ask you about.
Please fill in our short survey at https://forms.gle/fdnbZNe69ZnTe5se9 until March 1, 2023, at the latest – it should not take more than a few minutes, altogether.
Note that you can leave us your name and eMail address in the survey (and tell us that you’d like to stay informed) – if you do so, we will gladly keep you informed, possibly invite you to join a Discord server (given that we set one up for the summer school), etc. Sure it’s also fine to fill in the survey anonymously – also this helps us to better understand what to prepare for!
Given your interest in data science, you’re kindly invited to join us on our Discord server for CEDAS: https://discord.gg/6SAFpRFm – also, if you were interested in receiving news from CEDAS, we can easily put your eMail-address onto our CEDAS-info eMail list (let us know).
As the European vaccine trial network VACCELERATE, coordinated at the University
Hospital of Cologne, we want to make a contribution so that people interested in clinical
research and organisers of clinical studies can find each other more quickly, e.g. on
COVID-19, polio, influenza and other respiratory infections.
If you register yourself or your minor child, we can inform you by email as soon as a
study fits your profile. Only then you will decide whether you want to contact the study
organisers and receive more information about the offered study.
