Welcome to Mohn Synergy Symposium, on August 29

In 2024, the Trond Mohn Research Foundation (TMF) celebrates its 20th anniversary, marking two decades of significant contributions to research in Bergen and beyond. This milestone coincides with the co-location of researchers from three prominent Mohn Research Centers on the 7th floor of the University of Bergen’s BBB research building, where the new Bergen Center for Medical Stem Cell Research is being established.

To explore opportunities for collaboration between these three research centers, which all have common interests in neuroscience, stem cells, and cell biology, we are excited to organize the first Mohn Synergy Symposium on Thursday, August 29. Here, we will delve into common research interests and supplemental methodological approaches while honoring TMF’s contribution to scientific initiatives and progress.

The event is open to all, and no registration is required. Welcome!

  2. Mohn Research Center for Psychotic Disorders (MRCP), led by Professor Erik Johnsen ( https://www.helse-bergen.no/en/regenerative-medicine/mohn-research-centre-for-psychotic-disorders/)
  3. Mohn Research Center for the Brain (MRCB), led by Professor Clive Bramham with Nobel Laureate Professor Edvard Moser as co-lead (https://www.ntnu.edu/kavli/mohn-research-center-for-the-brain)

Webinar: How and where can you archive your research data?

In this webinar, you will get a short introduction to the FAIR-principles, and how and where you can archive your research data. The webinar is planned for 20.09.2024 at 10.15–11.00.

The goal of the University of Bergen is that data resulting from research activity should be made readily available for reuse in accordance with FAIR-principles. Researchers are encouraged to make their data openly available as early as possible in the research process

Sharing and re-using quality-assured research data is considered good scientific practice. Most funders, e.g. Norwegian Research Council or Horizon Europe, and publishers require that the research data from a project is made openly available. The saying is «as open as possible, as restricted as necessary», meaning that research data should be openly available unless prevented by legitimate considerations relating to security, protection of personal privacy, IPR or trade secrets.
