It was with great sorrow that we at BIO received the news that Ingunn Wergeland passed away last week. Ingunn was the administrative leader at the Sea Lice centre for excellence in innovation and truly left a lasting impression as a highly skilled, warm, and helpful leader for everyone at the center, and a very good colleague for everyone at BIO.
The HSE handbook has been updated and is now available in a new format on BIO’s website.
On Tuesday this week, the students in BIO216 went on a company visit to Equinor at Sandsli. The students learned more about Equinor’s extensive use and handling of chemicals, risk assessments, toxicity testing, environmental impact and HSE. A shift to “green” chemicals and the phasing out of substances that are toxic and accumulate in nature were discussed, as well as how “new” threats such as e.g. microplastics must be taken into account. The students had the opportunity to ask critical and follow-up questions to the host.

The 2024 EuroMarine Calls for Funding will be published soon.
The terms of EuroMarine’s 2024 calls were outlined by the General Assembly and the Steering Committee (SC) during their 2024 meeting in February. These terms are summarised below in advance of the public launch of the calls throughout the year.
The summer school is a great opportunity for you to travel and experience Japan while at the same time learning about fish physiology and aquaculture. Six students from UiB together with course instructors from BIO will spend a couple days with our Japanese hosts in Tokyo before splitting up into groups and participate in coursework, in either Hakodate, Miyagi, Tokyo, Nagoya, or Mie. All major expenses are paid by the ExcelAQUA 2.0 project.
Dear colleagues,
The local board of the Norwegian Bioscience Society (NBS) will arrange a symposium at the BBB (‘vrimleareal’, 3rd floor) on Wednesday, April 10th from 09.00 to 13.00. The event is meant to be informal and fun. There will be short talks, a “reuse your old poster-session” with pizza sponsored by the Bergen Biomedical Research School.
Welcome to the annual Earth Biogenome Project-Norway conference. During this conference, you can participate in workshops and learn how to use bioinformatics tools to efficiently analyze and interpret genome sequencing data, in addition to hearing from renowned researchers who will share their work in biodiversity and genomics.
The interns Ingrid and Sandra from Michael Sars Centre are participating in the 2nd Mission Arena in Riga this April. They are gathering data on the researcher’s perspective about opportunities and resources available in order to take research findings into industry. To do this, they have created a short survey, and your participation would be highly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Sandra and Ingrid.
Hello,
Birds are singing and the crocuses are appearing now – a great sign of spring! I hope everyone who is teaching this semester has had a good start and that everything works according to plan.

Kjære kolleger, det er med stor tristhet at jeg videreformidler informasjon om at Ingunn Wergeland har gått bort. Ingunn jobbet på BIO tidligere, som administrativ koordinator på Lakselussenteret.

Hei! My name is Janne and I recently started my three-year PhD in Applied Ecology here at BIO.
Last Thursday the 7th of March, we had our first monthly BIO ERC Community get-together with pizza and music! It was amazing and much fun to see so many people from across the department enjoying the great food and drinks.

Insentivordningen skal tilrettelegge for utviklingstiltak som bidrar til økt studiekvalitet og økt gjennomstrømning.
Digitalisering endrer fag og disipliner, både når det gjelder metoder og verktøy som brukes og når det gjelder problemstillinger og tema som studeres. Teknologien generelt, og utvikling knyttet til kunstig intelligens spesielt, endrer også utøvelsen av yrkene på tvers av bransjer. Kombinasjonen av spesialisert fagkunnskap og digital forståelse vil være avgjørende i fremtidens arbeid- og samfunnsliv.
