Forskere har sett en sammenheng mellom å komme i overgangsalderen før fylte førti år og mengden PFAS-miljøgifter man har i blodet. Når eggstokkene går tom for egg, eller av andre grunner slutter å fungere, kommer kvinner i overgangsalderen. Som regel…

Dear everyone,
Right at the end of 2025, we received three good news: Nina Langeland/Sabrina Moyo were awarded a Horizon Europe EDCTP3 project, Kristin Aakre was awarded funding from the Research Council of Norway, and Luiza Ghila was awarded funding from the Norwegian Cancer Society. Congratulations! Thus, 2025 has been a very successful year for K2 with several NFR and EU allocations. We are approaching the average of 25% BOA to basic funding (set by the faculty board) and will continue to work with this also in 2026. I really appreciate all the application writing and hope that we will continue with this in the years to come. It will be exciting to see if any of our 5 (!) Center of Excellence (SFF) applications proceed to round 2 😊
Congratulations also to Charalampos (Haris) Tzoulis and Jutta Dierkes from K1 who have received an SFI! Here there will be a lot of activities that perhaps some environments from K2 can benefit from. I take this opportunity to remind you that this was one of the pieces of advice in the EVALMEDHEALTH report: explore options with partners and sponsors from the industry.
Preparations for the Multi-Campus Model are in full swing, many of us spend a lot of time planning and coordinating how teaching will be done across campuses. Subject coordinators and academic resource persons in internal medicine and surgery from all campuses will gather in Bergen on 21 January 2026 (registration deadline 10 January) to discuss how the subjects can be distributed in a sensible way between the different semesters, I greatly appreciate all contributions! It is important that we find a good and sustainable way to educate future medical doctors.
I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!
