Dear everyone!

Tiden flyr, og det er masse som skjer. Mange holder på med søknader til både Trond Mohn stiftelsen, EU, NFR, kreftforeningen, NovoNordisk mm, og jeg setter stor pris på all søknadsaktivitet! Bare husk å fylle inn skjemaet om eksternfinansiering (lenken dukker opp når du trykker på «les mer» nederst på siden) slik at en av prosjektøkonomene kan hjelpe med budsjetteringen. Vår økonomi-koordinator Beate Bernes hadde siste dag hos oss forrige uke, det blir nok noen utfordringer før en ny økonom er på plass, men siden økonomene fra fakultetet/AHH flytter i løpet av neste uke til 8. etasje labbygget satser jeg på at vi får det til.

Otherwise, there are many of you who are working intensively on the study plan for the multi-campus model 2025, thank you very much to all of you who make an extra effort to make it a success. There will be some changes in relation to both MED2015 and Vestlandslegen, but we will ensure that all our medical students receive an equivalent education regardless of whether they are in Bergen, Stavanger, Førde or Haugesund in the last three years of their studies. It was very gratifying to read that Medisin Bergen/Haugesund is among the studies with the most first-choice applicants per study place (https://www.khrono.no/stor-vekst-i-sokertallene/1053838).

Finally, a few words about the working group that will review K2's finances and organization and provide input for further development. We will have some meetings with the K2 management, the department council and the entire department, and there will also be opportunities to provide input. We will inform continuously in K2nytt. This will turn out well!

Have a great weekend!

Silke
