Welcome to a special and extended CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium at Panorama Hotel & Resort at Sotra, just outside Bergen. This time we will host a lunch-to-lunch symposium from Monday 19th– Tuesday 20th of November. The CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium is a forum to practice presenting projects, engaging in scientific discussions and interact with like-minded peers. In addition, to enjoy excellent and interesting scientific presentations.

The symposium will start with a delicious lunch, before proceeding with an excellent academic and scientific program, including an inspirational lecture by the experienced scientist, professor and vice dean of doctoral education at our faculty, Roland Jonsson.  We will focus on how to improve scientific presentation skills, both through illustrations and orally, in the workshop; «How to make great figures and present your work in 3 minutes». Here you will get an overview of «do’s» and «don’ts» from the experts. We will also be inspired by previous organizers of CCBIO JUSS who will give us ideas on the different aspects of life in academia.

Day two will bring research insights and inspiration from Professor Stein Ove Døskeland and his 45 years of research, and Researcher Nils Halberg, representing a young investigator leading an established research lab.

As always, there will be exciting scientific presentations from CCBIO junior scientists, both days, and if you have work that you would like to present, you may nominate yourself upon registration.

The modest participation fee for this symposium (500 NOK per person in double room, 1000 NOK in single room, ask your group leader for support) includes lunch both days, dinner and hotel stay in double or single occupancy, in addition to the organized bus transportation between Haukeland Campus and the Panorama Hotel & Resort at Sotra.

[:no]SFF-V-prosessen ved K2[:en]SFF-V process at K2[:]

[:no]UiB sentralt ønsker at forskningsmiljøene starter prosessen frem mot neste SFF utlysning som ventes høsten 2020. De ønsker navn på mulige koordinatorer og tema innen 1. desember og fakultetsledelsen har bedt instituttlederne om å komme med en liste over potensielle SFF til instituttledermøtet 13.november.

Forskningsrådet sier at vitenskapelig kvalitet er hovedkriteriet og ønsker sentre som utvikler nye samarbeidsforhold. Samtidig skal det legges vekt på kjønnsbalansen.

Her er det essensielt å være kreativ og ambisiøs omkring en kompleks problemstilling som krever langtidsinnsats i et tverrfaglig nettverk. You can read more about the election and nominate candidates here: finnes en oversikt over alle sentrene som har vært eller er aktive.

Ved K2 ønsker vi nå innspill til mulige sentre, minimum

  1. Navn
  2. Theme
  3. Samarbeidspartnere
  4. Noen linjer om mål/forskningsspørsmål

Forslagene sendes Silke, Amra og Eystein innen mandag 12.11. kl 12.[:en]UiB wants the research environments to already now start the process towards a new SFF application round (expected in autumn 2020). They would like to get the names of potential coordinators and topic by Dec 1st. The faculty has asked the institute leaders to come with a list of potential SFF to the instituteleader meeting November 13.

The Research Council states that the scientific quality is the main criteria and would like to see centers that develop new collaborations. At the same time, also gender balance will be important to consider.

It is important to be creative and ambitious and have a complex problem to be addressed by a team of interdisciplinary research. Here is an overview over active or previous centers.

At K2 we would like input regarding potential new centers, minimum

  1. Name
  2. Toppic
  3. Collaborators
  4. Some sentences about the aim/research questions

Please send suggestions to Silke, Amra and Eystein by Monday 12.11. kl 12.[:]
