The European Commission has the pleasure to invite you to the online workshop on “Strengthening research careers: a focus on competences, balanced talent circulation and intersectoral mobility” that will take place on the 12th of September from 09:30 to 12:30 and from 13:30 to 16:00.
This workshop will present the main findings and outcomes from the study ‘Knowledge Ecosystem in the new ERA’ on the competence framework for researchers (morning session, including the potential uses and applications of the framework) and on balanced talent circulation (afternoon session, including issues of geographical brain drain and intersectoral mobility). Illustrations of cases will be presented for each of the topics, and pathways for further action will be discussed.
The detailed programme is attached. The workshop is organised in two sessions: morning and afternoon. Participants can attend either one of the sessions, or both, by registering via the link below.

Start of the semester – new possibilities
The start of the semester always seems filled with a special energy. The students seem particularly motivated this year. Hopefully your batteries are full after the summer vacation. Maybe this is the time to try out some new teaching techniques?
The first group of “Vestlandslege students” counting 200 students are now entering into clinical courses. MED3 and MED4 have been revised to handle increased student numbers and to improve teaching and learning. Change is never completely smooth, and I hope we will all work together to provide the best possible teaching and overall experience for the students. Then we may adjust the plans along the way.
K2 wishes to put together a working group to look into possibilities for developing postgraduate educational courses as a means of income to help turn the economy around. Please tell us if you have any good ideas!
The deadline for nominations to the Helse Vest Teaching Award 2022 is September 20th: : Kven er din kandidat til Utdanningsprisen i Helse Vest? – Helse Vest RHF (helse-vest.no) .

Welcome to the third event on Horizon Europe for UiB researchers, on Friday 7 October.
https://www.uib.no/en/fia/155941/horizon-europe-success-factors
Dear all,
We are hosting the Eitri Medical Datathon, September 16-19, 2022 and are looking forward to seeing many of you there!
The event will consist of two parts – the Datathon during the weekend and the Datathon conference on Monday September 19.
During the datathon, we will form teams of clinicians, data scientists and other enthusiasts. The teams together with mentors/experts from US, Singapore, France, and UK will solve health challenges using real world data and AI. It is an excellent opportunity to work with world leaders in the field!
The conference will bring together clinicians, data scientists, industry, policy makers, and other experts to talk about AI use in healthcare – opportunities and challenges.
For more information, please, check out the website https://www.eitrilab.no/datathon2022, or email us (torleif.lunde@uib.no or maija.slaidina@uib.no).
To participate in the datathon, sign up here: https://www.eitrilab.no/datathon2022

Welcome to the new semester!
Then it’s on again! Hope everyone had a nice holiday and recharged their batteries.
At the time of writing, the students have already started, and many K2 employees are busy again with teaching. It is often in a hurry to get started after the holidays. Transitioning from holiday to hectic university life can be a bit brutal and takes time. New cohorts of students entail additional work at the start. Research never takes a vacation. Although many have picked their e-mails and got rid of the most urgent, for most it has piled up with tasks that now have to be sorted out.
This autumn, K2 must focus on finances. As previously mentioned, for various reasons we now have a large deficit – a development that we must reverse. If we stand together, we will be able to get through this, hopefully even stronger. It is often in adversity that one becomes innovative and completely new ideas are created. So I repeat the call before the summer: Help us figure out how we can manage with slightly fewer areas, slightly fewer people and slightly less funds via K2, and how we can create more income that shows up in K2’s budgets.
Good luck with a new term!
Horizon Europe work programme for 2023-24 in the health cluster has been published. Many interesting opportunities for K2 researchers to apply for Research and Innovation Actions (RIA) in all destinations:
Many pandemic related calls included. Also personalized medicine. Interdisciplinary approach and collaboration with social sciences and humanities (SSH) often requested. Contact your research advisor (susanna.pakkasmaa@uib.no) for more information.
Title:
Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in limbal stem cell deficiency – Development of precision medicine
Abstract:
Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) causes discomfort and reduced vision and is a major problem in ophthalmology. Today, the treatment is transplantation of allogenic limbal stem cells, but this has its limitations.
Mesenchymal stem cells are now emerging as a promising treatment option. The phase 1 clinical trial using these cells in patients with end-stage LSCD will be presented.
Speaker:
Cecilie Bredrup, MD, PhD at HUH og Associate professor at K1, UiB
Time:
30th of August, 14.30-15.30
