[:no]\"\"<\/a>S\u00e5 er enda et \u00e5r snart omme. H\u00f8sten oppleves ofte som hektisk pga. s\u00f8knadsfrister, kongresser, m\u00f8ter og nye studentkull. Og semesteret er relativt kort i forhold til v\u00e5rsemesteret. S\u00e5 n\u00e5 n\u00e5r tiden nesten l\u00f8per fra oss, er det godt \u00e5 kunne se frem til en h\u00f8ytid med mulighet for ro og ettertanke.<\/p>\n

For K2 har 2019 v\u00e6rt et veldig godt \u00e5r. Medarbeidere har publisert i de aller beste tidsskriftene og blitt tildelt en rekke prestisjetunge priser, bla. Medisinsk fakultets priser, \u00c5rets forskningsgruppe til Mohn Kreftforskningslaboratorium ved Per Eystein L\u00f8nning, Falch\u00b4s Senior Award til Birgitta \u00c5sj\u00f8, Falch\u00b4s Junior Award til Bergithe Oftedal, og Helse Vests pris \u00c5rets forskningsgruppe til Endokrin medisin ved Eystein Husebye. Gratulerer til alle disse milj\u00f8ene!<\/p>\n

Vi kjenner enda ikke resultatet av \u00e5rets tildelinger i Norges forskningsr\u00e5d, men uansett er det oppn\u00e5dd solid forskningsfinansiering i 2019. Selv om \u00e5ret ikke er ferdig, ser det ut som vi passerer v\u00e5rt m\u00e5l p\u00e5 \u00e5 forbruke eksterne midler p\u00e5 101 mNOK \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

En gledelig nyhet siste uka var at Jenny Mj\u00f6sberg fra Karolinska institutet ble tildelt TMS Starting Grant fra Trond Mohn Stiftelse. Gratulerer og velkommen til K2! P\u00e5 undervisningssiden var K2 ansvarlig for \u00e5rets OSCE, og det gikk veldig bra. En stor takk til alle involverte.<\/p>\n

Men det er mange andre som ogs\u00e5 bidrar til at K2 er et godt sted \u00e5 v\u00e6re. Vi har en flott administrasjon som jeg vet yter maksimalt for \u00e5 legge forholdene til rette for bedre forskning, undervisning, innovasjon og kommunikasjon. Og vi er s\u00e5 heldige \u00e5 ha en stor teknisk stab: Uten dere stopper K2!<\/p>\n

For mange er jula \u00e5rets h\u00f8ydepunkt der familie og venner samles til en h\u00f8ytid fylt av tradisjoner og f\u00f8lelsen av tilh\u00f8righet, etterfulgt av romjula som kan gi mulighet for annen aktivitet hjemme i Bergen, turer til fjells eller til utlandet. S\u00e5 kommer en morsom og spennende tid med nytt\u00e5rsaften, nytt\u00e5rskonserten og den tradisjonelle hoppuka – f\u00f8r et nytt \u00e5r igjen braker l\u00f8s.<\/p>\n

Det som de fleste av oss tar for gitt, er ikke n\u00f8dvendigvis slik for alle. Noen har mistet en de var glad i eller har ingen n\u00e6re venner eller familie som samles i \u00e5r. Jeg har v\u00e6rt i USA fire juleh\u00f8ytider og er alltid blitt invitert hjem til noen i h\u00f8ytiden. Jeg skjemmes n\u00e5r jeg tenker p\u00e5 at jeg selv ikke har v\u00e6rt flink til \u00e5 inkludere andre i min julefeiring. Her har vi noe \u00e5 l\u00e6re \u2013 \u00e5 v\u00e6re flinkere til \u00e5 inkludere andre som er alene eller ensomme i h\u00f8ytiden. Er det plass til noen flere i herberget?<\/p>\n

Med \u00f8nsker om en fredelig jul og alt godt for 2020.[:en]\"\"<\/a>Another year will soon be over. Autumn is often perceived as hectic due to application deadlines, congresses, meetings, and new student courses. And the semester is relatively short compared to the spring semester. Hence, as the year is nearing it\u2019s end, it is good to be able to look forward to a holiday with the opportunity for peace and reflection.<\/p>\n

For K2, 2019 has been a very good year. Our faculty members and scientists have published in the best journals and been awarded a number of prestigious awards, including the Faculty of Medicine’s awards, the Research Group of the Year to the Mohn Cancer Research Laboratory by Per Eystein L\u00f8nning, the Falch’s Senior Award to Birgitta \u00c5sj\u00f8, the Falch’s Junior Award to Bergithe Oftedal, and the Helse Vest research award to Endocrine Medicine with Eystein Husebye. Congratulations to all these environments!<\/p>\n

We do not yet know the result of this year’s awards from the Research Council of Norway, but nevertheless solid research funding was achieved in 2019. Although the fiscal year has not yet been concluded, it appears we will well reach our goal of 101 mNOK in consumed external funding this year \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Very good news last week was that Jenny Mj\u00f6sberg from the Karolinska Institute was awarded the TMS Starting Grant from the Trond Mohn Foundation. Congratulations and welcome to K2! On the teaching side, K2 was responsible for this year’s OSCE, and it went very well. A big thank you to everyone involved.<\/p>\n

But there are many others who also contribute to K2 being a good place to work. We have a superb administration that I know maximizes the potential for better research, teaching, innovation, and communication. And we’re so lucky to have a splendid technical staff: Without you, K2 stops!<\/p>\n

For many, Christmas and the holiday season is the highlight of the year where family and friends gather for a holiday filled with traditions and a sense of belonging, followed by some days off that can provide opportunities for other activities at home in Bergen, trips to the mountains or abroad. Then comes a fun and exciting time with the New Year’s Eve, the New Year’s concert and the traditional Ski Jumping Week – before another year arises.<\/p>\n

What most of us take for granted is not necessarily the case for everyone. Some have lost someone they loved or have no close friends or family gathering this year. I have been to the United States for four Christmas holidays and have always been invited home to someone during the holidays. I am embarrassed when I realize that I myself have not been good to include others in my own holiday celebration. Here we have something to learn – being better at including others who are alone or lonely during the holidays. Is there room for someone else at the inn?<\/p>\n

With wishes for a peaceful Christmas and holiday season and all the best for 2020.<\/p>\n
