Invitation to seminar: UiB AI #1 How AI helped solve Protein Folding – and why it matters

The UiB AI Steering Group welcomes you to a seminar on February 24th at 10am in the University Aula.  The seminar lasts until 11:30 and there will be lunch and discussions 11:30-12:00.

This is the first in a series of seminars on artificial intelligence at UiB. The seminars will be a meeting point across departments and fields of research, where different examples on the use of AI in research will be presented.

On February 24th, Inge Jonassen (Department of informatics) and Nathalie Reuter (Department of Chemistry) will speak to us on how AI helped solve Protein Folding – and why it matters.

Since participation is physical and we will order food, we ask all participants to register via the link on the seminar web page. You will find more information about the seminar and registration link here:

Invitation SDG Conference Bergen

 

 

To all employees.

We are approaching the fifth annual SDG Conference Bergen – hosted by UiB on the 9th to the 11th of February.

Like last year, the conference will be digital and free to attend. In 2021 the conference had over 2600 participants from more than 100 countries!

We will also repeat the success of arranging Day Zero to kick off the SDG Conference Bergen on the 9th of February.

On Day Zero, you can attend a number of very interesting seminars and workshops, all with different approaches to sustainability. If you teach students, many of the events could also be relevant to attend with your students. Perhaps the day’s lecture could be to attend one or several workshops?

There are more than 30 events to choose from, and the topics are varied. Take a look at the programme for Day Zero here: https://www.uib.no/en/sdgconference/148573/day-zero-wednesday-9-february-2022

This year’s fully digital conference also provides us with new opportunities to present emerging and important research by motivated PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows addressing the conference themes. We invite all those interested – from any disciplinary field – to send in digital posters on your research, relevant to the theme of the conference, before February 1st.  Read more here.

I hope you will enjoy the SDG Conference Bergen.

 

With best regards

Rector Margareth Hagen

SVT’s annual symposium 3 December: Sick society – Exploring the relation between knowledge and action in a pandemic

The symposium will focus on the relation between knowledge and actions in Covid-19 times. We want to critically discuss the enduring ‘state of exception’ we are experiencing, and explore the responsibility of science to inform action under complexity and uncertainty.

In addition to the presentations from SVTers Thorvald Sirnes, Silje Langvatn and Kjetil Rommetveit, we look forward to hearing presentations from Esperanza Diaz, head of the Pandemic Centre, Elling Ulvestad, Professor at the Department of Clinical Sciences (UiB) and Ana Delgado, Associate professor at the Centre for Technology, Innovation and Culture (TIK, UiO).

We have also invited a panel of people who had to work during the ‘semi-lockdown’ at the beginning of the pandemic, who will talk about which information was used to navigate this situation.

Find the full programme, information about registration and digital attendance here.

Time: Friday 3 December, doors open at 9.00 am CET, symposium closes at 4.50 pm CET.

Place: Grand Hotel Terminus, Bergen
