Leader of the week

Leader of the week

Dear everyone,

Is there really no one who wants to promote themselves or a good colleague to the faculty's teaching award and/or research award? Within the deadline, there was only 1 proposal for the best PhD work – it's hard to believe that there aren't more who deserved an award! Unfortunately, we in the management do not know everything about everyone, so help us find good candidates we can nominate!

Check my K2nytt editorial from January 23 for the criteria.

The new deadline is Sunday 8.2.

Consultation – Proposed New Act on the Protection Against Infectious Diseases

The Infection Control Act from 1994 is currently under revision. The Helse- og omsorgsdepartementet has conducted a broad and comprehensive review of the Act to ensure that the necessary legal authority is in place to handle potential crisis situations.
