- On Thursday, we had the pleasure of having the leader of the Norwegian Quantum Cluster, Monica Sandnesmo, visiting us. The cluster will serve as a research‑driven national network, a competence hub, and a point of contact for quantum science and technology (QST). It will also act as a resource for Norwegian authorities on quantum‑related matters. For our Faculty, it was important to let Monica learn more about the expertise we can provide in this field. Her is one example: Studying cells and their wobbly bits | Department of Informatics | UiB
- On Friday Norwegian Labour Party politician Tonje Brenna, the party’s parliamentary leader, is visiting to learn more about UiB Realfaghøyden and some of our polar and quantum research.
