This weeks editorial

Dear everyone!

This week began with a solemn ceremony in the Tower Hall, where Nina Langeland was presented with the Order of St. Olav by the County Governor of Vestland, Liv Signe Navarsete, for her many years of efforts in infectious medicine. The appointment is so well deserved and I am incredibly proud, congratulations so much!

Otherwise, I would like to thank you for your attendance and lively discussion at the general meeting with the finance working group on Thursday last week. Feel free to take the opportunity to provide input. The email address innspillk2gruppe@uib.no will be open until August 21, 2026. The working group will read everything that is submitted, but will likely not be able to respond to all of it.

Have a great weekend!
– Silke
