DIGSSCORE – Call for Research Unit Proposals

The University of Bergen established the Norwegian Citizen Panel (NCP) 10 years ago, in 2013. Since the inception, the Digital Social Science Core Facility, DIGSSCORE, has supported 4-6 thematic research units who have organized most of the data collection in the NCP.

Dear all,

Welcome back after a hopefully good Easter holiday. I hope you have recharged your batteries for the spring activities.

Now the OneOcean Week starts with a multitude of exciting activities and offers aimed at sustainable oceans. BIO and UiB are strongly present. See program etc here: https://www.oneoceanweek.com/ and here https://www.uib.no/aktuelt/160441/one-ocean-week. I hope you find time to participate.

We have a new general staff meeting Tuesday April 25th, 11-12am, at VilVite. We can tempt you with information about course budgeting and course portfolios, bench fee (leiestedskostnad) models, mapping of technical competence, status on area reduction. Work is progressing well in several of these areas. The meeting is held in English. I look forward to it.

We have updated guidelines for PhD fellows’ compulsory work (see BIO’s internal page at MittUiB, under the education tab). I hope this is of good use to PhD fellows who will carry out compulsory teaching and to the course in charges responsible for the courses they teach.

Have a nice weekend, everyone.

Hilsen Ørjan
