Arctic Frontiers Abstracts – Deadline September 27

Dear all,

The deadline for submitting abstracts to Arctic Frontiers 2025 is just 1 week away. With the tight turn-around time for reviewing afterwards, I am hoping to not extend the deadline. If you are able to once again share the call amongst your networks, collaborators and colleagues, I would really appreciate it.

 

Session descriptions are found here: https://arcticfrontiers.com/science/science-themes-2025/

Abstract submission is here: https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/50901/submitter

 

Best wishes,

Jenny

Welfare offer: Concerts in the University Aula

The Aula Series has in recent years developed into one of the country’s most recognized new initiatives in classical music. Since 2020, they have filled the University Aula in Oslo and the Munch destination Ramme with around 30 annual concerts. Now, they will finally contribute to developing the University Aula in Bergen as a concert venue through exciting, high-quality musical content.

Greetings from the Department – 13.10.2024

When I received this year’s overview of when we group leaders were to contribute to Bionytt, I was a bit amused. The list naturally consisted of dates and our names, but also a comment section behind where me and Katja were the only ones with comments. It said: Friday the 13th.

Feedback after completed GMO inspection at BIO

The GMO inspection was carried out by the Norwegian Directorate of Health on Tuesday 10 September at BIO’s premises. They were particularly interested in the live facilities (T55-1.floor), zebrafish lab and fly lab. In addition, the teaching lab in the B block, one laboratory in the B-building and several laboratories in the Bioblokken were shown during the inspection.

In general, we received good feedback on the information available in the HSE handbook, with clarified responsibilities and training of new students by using  HSE safety pass. However, we did receive some discrepancies and remarks.

Invitation to make a presentation on Teachers’ Day 2025

Teachers’ Day [Lærerenes dag] will be held on 31 January 2025.
With this, we wish and invite professional communities from all faculties and institutes to register for lectures, seminars, workshops and other academic contributions that profile current research at UiB.
We therefore want this information to be disseminated to all relevant academic circles both at the faculties and departments.

Contributions can be lectures or conversations/debates with other contributors. We want contributions of around 30 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for questions from the audience.
The evaluations from recent years have shown that the participants want the opportunity for interaction, and we will therefore ensure that time is set aside for this in next year’s event.

Register as a contributor

In the first instance, we need feedback consisting of the name and provisional title of the contribution by 4 October.
Use this online form (Register contributions for Teacher’s Day 31st January 2025 (uib.no)).
