[:no]\"\"<\/a>\u201cJust another year\u201d? Covid-19 gj\u00f8r at \u00e5ret vil g\u00e5 inn i historien. Pandemien har snudd opp ned p\u00e5 forskning og undervisning for de fleste av oss. Hygieniske tiltak som sosial distansering, munnbind og spritvask, samt kommunikasjon og undervisning gjennom digitale medier, har krevd mye av den enkelte og organisasjonene inklusive K2. Men det har v\u00e6rt flott som leder \u00e5 se hvor godt dere har taklet denne omveltingen med aksept, konstruktive tiltak og endog entusiasme. Tusen, tusen takk!<\/p>\n

Vi har l\u00e6rt mye nytt p\u00e5 mange omr\u00e5der. I l\u00f8pet av f\u00e5 uker ble UiB digitalisert. Instituttets dag 2020 ble gjennomf\u00f8rt heldigitalt! Nye kommunikasjonsformer gj\u00f8r avstander trivielle og nye internasjonale kontakter og nettverk er blitt mulig. Jeg tror vi kommer til \u00e5 g\u00e5 styrket ut av pandemien, selv om det er en del ting som er blitt forsinket eller vanskeliggjort.<\/p>\n

K2 har gjennomg\u00e5tt en del endringer i 2020 ved at forskningsgruppene delvis er omorganisert og det er etablert undervisingsgrupper med undervisningsgruppeledere (UGLEr). Jeg tror dette vil bedre det faglige milj\u00f8et for forskning og undervisning. Takk til konstruktive prosesser og involvering.<\/p>\n

Til toss for covid-19 har 2020 v\u00e6rt et godt \u00e5r for K2. Medarbeidere har publisert i de beste tidsskriftene og blitt tildelt priser. Professor Nina Langeland skal lede et nasjonalt program mot antibiotikaresistens, professor Eva Gerdts et senter for hjertesykdom hos kvinner, og professor Einar Kl\u00e6boe Kristoffersen et senter for regenerativ medisin. Gratulerer til disse milj\u00f8ene!<\/p>\n

Vi har s\u00e5 langt ikke helt oppn\u00e5dd v\u00e5rt m\u00e5l for ekstern forskningsfinansiering for 2020, men vi h\u00e5per \u00e5rets tildelinger i Norges forskningsr\u00e5d, som blir kunngjort neste uke, vil rette opp p\u00e5 dette. K2 koordinerer to SFF-s\u00f8knader, er delt leder p\u00e5 to til og parner p\u00e5 ytterligere fem. Vi satser friskt p\u00e5 at i alle fall en av disse n\u00e5r opp! Takk til Silke og Emmet for at de midlertidig var villige til \u00e5 rykke opp!<\/p>\n

H\u00f8sten oppleves ofte som hektisk pga. s\u00f8knadsfrister, 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 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 andre steder. Covid-19 legger dessverre begrensinger p\u00e5 dette i \u00e5r, men s\u00e5 f\u00e5r vi anledning til \u00e5 knytte enda tettere b\u00e5nd innen egen familie.<\/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. Klarer vi \u00e5 tenke ekstra mye p\u00e5 disse og kanskje inkludere dem i v\u00e5r egen julefeiring?<\/p>\n

Med \u00f8nsker om en fredelig jul og alt godt for 2021.[:en]\"\"<\/a>\u201cJust another year\u201d? Because of Covid-19, 2020 will be a year for the history books. The pandemic has turned research and teaching upside down for most of us. Hygienic measures such as social distancing, face masks and antimicrobial sanitizing, as well as the reorganization of communication and teaching to digital media, have required a lot from the individual and the organizations, including K2. But it has been great for me as a leader to see how well you have coped with this upheaval with acceptance, constructive action and even enthusiasm. Thank you very, very much!<\/p>\n

We have learned a lot in many areas. Within a few weeks, UiB became digitalized, including eg. The K2 Day! New forms of communication make distances trivial and new international contacts and networks have become possible. I think we will emerge stronger from the pandemic, although there are some things that have been delayed or made more difficult.<\/p>\n

K2 has undergone a number of changes in 2020 in that the research groups have been partially reorganized and teaching groups have been established with teaching group leaders (UGLEs). I think this will improve the academic environment for research and teaching. Thanks for constructive processes and involvement.<\/p>\n

Despite Covid-19, 2020 has been a good year for K2. Employees have published in the best journals and been awarded prizes. Professor Nina Langeland will lead a National Program Against Antibiotic Resistance, Professor Eva Gerdts a Center for Heart Disease in Women, and Professor Einar Kl\u00e6boe Kristoffersen a Center for Regenerative Medicine. Congratulations to these environments!<\/p>\n

We have so far not fully achieved our goal of external research funding for 2020, but we hope this year’s allocations in the Research Council of Norway, which will be announced next week, will rectify this. K2 coordinates two COE applications, is shared leader of two more and partner on another five. It is to hope that at least one of these will make it! Thanks to Silke and Emmet for being temporarily willing to move up!<\/p>\n

Autumn is often perceived as hectic due to application deadlines, meetings, and new student courses. And the semester is relatively short compared to the spring semester. Hence, as the year is nearing its end, it is good to be able to look forward to a holiday with the opportunity for peace and reflection.<\/p>\n

For many, Christmas and the holiday season is the highlight of the year where family and friends gather for a holiday full of traditions and a sense of belonging, followed by Christmas in space, which can provide opportunities for other activities at home in Bergen, trips to the mountains or elsewhere. Covid-19 unfortunately places restrictions on this this year, but then we get the opportunity to form even closer ties within our own family.<\/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 gathered this year. Can we think extra about these and maybe include them in our own Christmas celebration?<\/p>\n

With wishes for a peaceful Christmas and all the best for 2021.[:]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
