[:no]\u00d8konomien blir strammere<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Det er aldri hyggelig \u00e5 snakke om \u00f8konomi n\u00e5r den blir d\u00e5rligere. Det blir dessverre strammere \u00f8konomi fremover.<\/p>\n

Korona-pandemien har s\u00e5 langt medf\u00f8rt en rekke ekstrautgifter for UiB som n\u00e5 fordeles p\u00e5 fakultetene alt etter hvor stor deres grunnbevilgning er. Siden Medisinsk fakultet er et av de st\u00f8rste fakultetene, f\u00e5r vi derfor et av de st\u00f8rste kuttene i budsjettet for de neste tre \u00e5r. Fakultetet v\u00e5rt tar mesteparten av regningen, men noe fordeles p\u00e5 instituttene, ogs\u00e5 her etter st\u00f8rrelsen p\u00e5 grunnbevilgningen. For K2 betyr det et kutt p\u00e5 ca. 2,2 mill kr \u00e5rlig for de neste tre \u00e5r.<\/p>\n

Dessverre er dette bare begynnelsen. Regjeringen Solberg serverte ved dens avgang et stort kutt for alle universitetene i Norge. En omlegging i pensjonsfinansieringen inneb\u00e6rer at universitets- og h\u00f8gskolesektoren ikke lenger skal betale pensjonskostnader som en fast prosentsats av l\u00f8nnsmassen, men betale for faktiske pensjonskostnader gjennom \u00e5ret. Sammen med noen andre innstramninger blir kuttet over en milliard kroner for universitetene samlet sett. Dessverre har den nye regjeringen St\u00f8re ikke bare opprettholdt dette, men faktisk gjort det st\u00f8rre. Dette er et permanent kutt i grunnbevilgningen til universitetene. Det medf\u00f8rer en svekket \u00f8konomi for K2 i \u00e5rene som kommer. Vi vil fors\u00f8ke \u00e5 hindre inndragning av stillinger og s\u00f8ke andre m\u00e5ter \u00e5 redusere kostnadene p\u00e5. Og s\u00e5 gjelder det \u00e5 \u00f8ke inntektene: ekstern finansering blir viktigere enn noen gang. \u00a0S\u00e5, st\u00e5 p\u00e5 med s\u00f8knader. K2 heier p\u00e5 dere!<\/p>\n

I denne nye situasjonen er det viktig at vi har en felles forst\u00e5else for utfordringen og at vi m\u00e5 st\u00e5 sammen om den. S\u00e5 er det ogs\u00e5 en mulighet til \u00e5 tenke nytt og finne nye l\u00f8sninger som likevel kan bedre v\u00e5re prim\u00e6roppgaver: forskning, undervisning, innovasjon og kommunikasjon. Og for ordens skyld: K2 Retreat 2 p\u00e5 Solstrand g\u00e5r som planlagt. Her blir en god anledning til \u00e5 diskutere p\u00e5 tvers av forskningsgrupper, undervisningsgrupper, personalgrupper og organisatoriske enheter – alternative og bedre m\u00e5ter \u00e5 arbeide p\u00e5 med noe mindre ressursbruk.<\/p>\n

Vi skal klare dette! La oss utvikle et enda bedre K2.<\/p>\n

Ha en riktig god helg!<\/p>\n

\nInstituttleder[:en]The economy is tightening<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It’s never nice to talk about finances when it’s getting worse. Unfortunately, the economy will be tighter in the future.<\/p>\n

The Corona pandemic has so far entailed several extra expenses for UiB, which are now distributed among the faculties according to the size of their basic grant. Since the Faculty of Medicine is one of the largest faculties, we therefore get one of the biggest cuts in the budget for the next three years. Our faculty takes most of the bill, but some is distributed among the departments, also here according to the size of the basic grant. For K2, this means a cut of approx. NOK 2.2 million annually for the next three years.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this is just the beginning. Upon its departure, the Solberg Government served a major cut for all universities in Norway. A change in pension financing means that the university and college sector will no longer pay pension costs as a fixed percentage of the salary base but will pay for actual pension costs throughout the year. Together with some other measures, more than a billion kroner will be cut for the universities as a whole. Unfortunately, the new St\u00f8re Government has not only sustained it, but rather increased it. This is a permanent cut in the basic allocation to the universities. That means a weakened economy for K2 in the years to come. We will try not to withdraw positions and look for other ways to reduce costs. And then there is the issue of increasing our revenues: external financing is becoming more important than ever. So, get on with the applications. K2 cheers on you!<\/p>\n

In this new situation, it is important that we have a common understanding of the challenge and that we must stand together in this. Then there is also an opportunity to be innovative and find new solutions that can even improve our primary tasks: research, teaching, innovation and communication. And for the record: K2 Retreat 2 on Solstrand is going as planned. That will be a good opportunity to discuss across research groups, teaching groups, staff groups and organizational units – alternative and better ways of working with somewhat less use of resources.<\/p>\n

We will make it through this! Let’s develop an even better K2.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
