This Wednesday we gathered at VilVite to hear the latest news at BIO.
Karoline from HR is process leader of the Joint working environment survey (FAMU / ARK) at our faculty. She went through the survey results for BIO in details, and informed about the ongoing work. The follow up from the survey will be in our subject groups (faggrupper), and the subject group leader will with assistance from Karoline and head of administratjon at BIO organize separate meetings for alle the subject groups.
Ståle informed us about the economic results from 2024, which was an accumulated deficit of 35 million NOK. Although this is an improvement from the results of 2023, the improvement was smaller than budgeted. One of the main reasons is reduced income from external projects. But we will try and try again, and the 2025 budget aims for a further improvement, to an accumulated deficit at 29 millions by the end of the year.
Ståle also informed about the ongoing work groups, working on area reduction (phase 2) and organization (with emphasis on research organization) at BIO. Both groups are expected to deliver their suggestion before summer.
The next general information meeting will be held in June. Thank you for your participation!
