On Friday, January 30, the University of Bergen invites you to the first ceremonial doctoral conferment of the year. The ceremony marks new doctoral candidates who have defended their dissertations in the period August to December 2025.
This year, UiB celebrated its 200th anniversary, making it the most visible year in UiB's history. It was an opportunity to showcase our proud scientific history, but also to invite the city in. We started in January with a fantastic light show that covered the entire front of the monumental building of the university museum.
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…

Title of the thesis: "Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Infliximab and Adalimumab in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Impact on treatment decisions"
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!

There are already a lot of Christmas decorations in place around our buildings, and there will certainly be even more Christmas spirit in the future. It is important that we also think about fire safety, so below are some reminders:
Dear everyone,
Thank you very much to everyone who contributed to yet another well-executed OSKE12 yesterday!
Yesterday, I was reminded again of how important a good flow of information is. From 1 August 2024, the new Universities and University Colleges Act came into force, and this has led to several changes for us – including in terms of censorship
What's new?
• Written exams under 15 credits: One internal examiner is sufficient.
• Written exams of 15 credits or more, as well as oral exams: Two internal examiners are required.
External examiners are no longer mandatory in these cases.
I have participated in many forums where this was discussed, and thought the information was well known. It turns out that many people had not been informed about these changes, and I apologize for the frustration this created yesterday for MED9.
Given the financial situation at K2, we must reduce the use of external teachers and examiners as far as possible. Where external sensors are not needed, we need to look at solutions with two internal sensors. I know this will involve more work for some, but we will find good solutions that take care of both examiners and students.
Have a really good weekend and a nice 2nd advent!
