The research is crystal clear. Our most important and decisive source of meaning is our social relationships. No other factors play as significant a role in our quality of life as how satisfied we are with our relationships. And there are far too many people today who are not satisfied.

For some, it can feel very isolating to do research and writing. Or for others, it can be very social, with writing sessions or co-authors. What does it mean to think of academic writing as a form of academic networking?
This seminar will tackle the challenges and opportunities that come with writing alongside/with others, whether socially as friends and colleagues, or scientifically as co-authors, etc. We will discuss how you can strengthen your local, national and international research networks through innovative ways of approaching your writing process.
Appropriate for researchers at all stages of career.
Teacher: Laura Saetveit Miles, professor in English literature, renowned lecturer in career development and academic professionalization.

At the University, meeting strategic and externally given goals and policies is a central part of the work of leadership and decision-making bodies. Their priorities have consequences for the organization as a whole – and you as a researcher. In this course, we are lifting the curtain to show you a glimpse of what is going on «behind the scenes». You’ll get to know how this complex system works, why it is designed the way it is, how performance is measured, and how you can work both with it and in it.
The main vision of the University of Bergen strategy 2023-2030 is that by the end of the term, UiB should be one of Europe’s leading universities, internationally recognized for high quality in research and education. Adding to the universities own strategic priorities, we are obliged to meet shifting policy demands and objectives from national and European governments and funding agencies.

Kjære alle sammen!
Først og fremst: Gratulasjon til Marit Sandberg, stipendiat ved Senter for forsking på hjertesykdom hos kvinner, som vant Forsker Grand Prix i Bergen! Hun forsker på svangerskap og fødsel hos kvinner med medfødt hjertesykdom og overbeviste både publikum og dommerne med hennes presentasjon. Det er veldig kjekt at en av våre stipendiater skal representere UiB i finalen i Oslo, vi ønsker lykke til!
Og så fortsetter vi å jobbe med vår økonomi, det er viktig at alle skjønner alvorlige situasjonen vi er i. Vi er nødt til å budsjetter ekstern finansierte prosjekter på en måte at instituttet ikke går med underskudd samlet sett. Som del av den prosessen skal vi nå ha en kartlegging av våre teknisk ansatte, som første ledd har vi invitert til et informasjonsmøte og et FORUM møte med alle forskningsgruppe- og kjernefasilitetsledere. Hvis vi står samlet så skal vi klare det!
Ha en riktig god helg!

Around 30 million people in Europe are living with a rare genetic disease (a disease that affects less than 1 in 2,000 people).
This course offers an exploration of key questions around rare disease diagnostic research and issues today, as well as insights into patient experiences.
Over the last two decades, a lot of progress has been made in diagnosing rare genetic diseases.
You will discover more about the progress made through diagnostic research, as well as the types of genetic tests available for rare diseases, and the impact of having a diagnosis – or lacking a diagnosis – on patients’ lives.
You’ll explore key issues relating to rare genetic diseases and undertake your own internet-based investigation into several diagnostic research topics.

Store pattedyr spiller en viktig rolle i marine økosystem, men rovdyr høyt i næringskjeden er ekstra utsatt for miljøgifter.
Anders Goksøyr og Sofie Søderstrøm ved Universitetet i Bergen forteller om hvordan vi kan forstå miljøgiftenes påvirkning på marine pattedyr som isbjørn, blåhval og spekkhoggere ved å studere celler fra dyrene i laboratoriet.

From Research to Academic Startup
VIS has launched a new program for researcher entrepreneurship for researchers with an innovative idea or technology that has the potential to become the next generation product or service. Are you motivated to explore commercial opportunities and realize your research in practice? Then this program is for you.
The event is primarily aimed at researchers, especially PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers at the Faculty of Medicine who are interested in how they can take their research from academia to the commercial market
