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!

HSE non-conformities
Reporting on adverse events in an incident report is important for the continuous HSE work at K2. When we report incidents, it helps to reduce the extent of damage, prevent new events, and raise awareness. Incident reports can also lead to changes in, among other things, routines and infrastructure. The incident reports are also reviewed by the faculty’s HSE committee and the Working Environment Committee at UiB.
Therefore, everyone is encouraged to report HSE incidents.
Visit this page and familiarize yourself with how to report HSE incidents and why this is important:https://www.uib.no/en/hms-portalen/147849/report-hse-non-conformities#what-are-hse-non-conformities-
Employees and students should report HSE incidents in UiBhjelp.
