Dear all,

Towards the end of the autumn break, I would like to encourage everyone to update their UiB profile pages. As most people will hopefully have been informed about, we are in the process of RCN’s evaluation for medicine and health, EVALMEDHELSE. In connection with this, it is important that our web pages are up to date. And by that I mean not only the pages of K2 and all our research groups (which in most cases need some updating), but also the personal page that all UiB employees have. This is something everyone can and should update (which, by the way, also applies to myself, I’m working on it)! In addition to contact information, where you can add a link to MazeMap so that visitors can more easily find you, you can inform about your expertise, ongoing research projects, teaching, dissemination, you can upload a CV and provide a link to social media. And not least: I encourage everyone to upload a photo!

Here you will find everything you need to make it happen (although unfortunately it does not give you more time to do so):

Have a great weekend!

Launches new application portal for external funding

Leave a reply

Research advisors at the Faculty of Medicine have recently launched a new portal for researchers applying for external funding.

The web portal acts as a common entry point for researchers at all departments seeking different types of external funding: «Application Support for External Funding»

“The new portal, or webpage, is a result to deliver simpler and streamlined processes for external funding applications”, says leader of the faculty research advisor team, senior advisor Ramune Midttveit.

Better utilization of the competence of the different advisors

Midttveit believes that with the new routines, they will be better able to utilize the competence of the different advisors.

“Previously we were organized with individual advisors tied to specific departments, which made it more difficult to match the individual strengths to the needs”, she explains.

“In this way, we ensure that researchers have easy access to advisers regardless of department”.

Making it easier to transfer tasks

The previous system also created challenges with maintaining quality when staff left or went on various kinds of leave:

“With the new organization, all advisors are involved throughout the entire process across departments, which makes it easier to transfer tasks between us”, the senior advisor explains.

“At the same time, we ensure that the individual adviser gets the best use of his expertise, regardless of the institute”, Midtveit concludes.
