Would you and your colleagues like to have more enjoyable experiences together? UiB's welfare committee offers employees a range of activities that provide both cultural enrichment and good meetings across academic environments.
From January 2, 2026, you can experience the moving musical Så som i himmelen at Forum Scene. The performance is only played in January and February – so this is a rare opportunity you don't want to miss!
Start the year with a cultural experience! Now you get
Dear everyone,
A few weeks ago, the first cohort of medical students from Vestland who will spend the last three years of their studies in Førde went on an exciting and eventful study trip to Campus Førde. Preparations are in full swing with the establishment of a new study model in the form of a joint multi-campus model for the medical study here in the west. Feedback has been received on the draft of the new study plan that was sent out for consultation earlier this fall, and an adjusted plan with main lines has recently been adopted by the Program Committee in Medicine.
Internal medicine and surgical clinical practice will, in the multi-campus model, take place in the 7th semester instead of the 8th semester as in the 2015 model, while psychiatric practice and teaching will be in the 10th semester instead of the 7th semester. Adjustments are being made in the first three common Bergen years, and in the last three years, where students are distributed across Stavanger, Førde, Haugesund and Bergen, all will have common learning objectives and common exams. Working in cross-disciplinary groups with representatives from all four campuses will be central going forward to decide what should be taught, when, and how, to develop more detailed descriptions of learning outcomes and pedagogical interactive approaches for the best possible formation of good doctors for the healthcare of the future.
Thank you so much for all your hard work on this, OSKE, and everything else!
Have a really good weekend!

Dear everyone,
Congratulations to the award winners of the Western Norway Regional Health Authority's research awards that were awarded on Thursday evening at the Western Norway Regional Health Authority's research conference. The Innovation Award went to Jannicke Wathne and Tormod Bjånes, who is an associate professor of pharmacology at K2 😊. The other awards went to researchers affiliated with K1: The prize for young researchers went to Øyvind Eikrem and the research prize to Christian Beisland.
And Christmas is approaching! On December 12th at 1 p.m., everyone from K2 is invited to a small Christmas gathering with gingerbread and mulled wine on the 5th floor of the lab building, I hope as many as possible want to join.
Have a really good weekend!

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? It goes to individuals or groups who have made an extra effort to create a good and safe working environment – either through warmth, unity, HSE measures or simply by being really good colleagues.

So far this year, NOK 45 million has been allocated to 91 qualification projects that will use knowledge to create value for society and business. New this year is that parts of the commercialization budget are earmarked for projects that are based on groundbreaking, basic research, with high risk and great scientific ambition.
This year's application round for foundations at UiB is underway. There are a number of foundations that have research and teaching at UiB as their statutory purposes.
