Hei,
Well, then I have been subject group leader for a few weeks, and am slowly but surely starting to get a small overview of the subject group’s challenges as well as all the other slightly more pleasant tasks that come with it.
After the success of our two parties last semester, we are excited to keep the momentum going with more events and activities organized by the newly formed BIO Early Career Researcher Community, welcoming PhDs, Postdocs, Forkers, Technicians and all who would like to be involved. The leadership team (see below) aims to create a space for early career researchers across all BIO groups to connect, share experiences and challenges, and, of course, have fun together.
The Department of Biological Sciences complies with the rules and regulations in the Act Relating to Holidays, the Basic Collective Agreements, and the UiB Employee Handbook.
As you are well aware, we are in a period of cost cutting.
Agenda
Our economic results for 2023 is 40,9 mill NOK in accumulated deficit, a reduction of 6 mill compared to last year – considerably better than budgeted. The main reason for the reduction in the deficit was yet again an all time high result in funding from external projects and we also managed to keep our running costs at a low level. On the other hand the increase in salary costs for 2023 was larger than budgeted, and unanticipated lab specific expenditure, losses on a small number of external projects and lower income from lab services contributed negatively.
UiB wants to offer a meeting place for those affected by the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, and who feels the need to come together to share experiences, and give input to the university management.
In order for employees and students to be able to share concerns and thoughts in a good way, there will be two gatherings. One gathering for Palestinian employees and students, or with ties to Palestine, and one gathering for Israeli employees and students, or with ties to Israel.

In a study recently published in the journal Conservation Genetics, researchers at the University of Bergen (UiB), using important samples from the University Museum in Bergen, have made startling discoveries about the blue whale’s genome (the total amount of genetic material in a cell).

Dear all,
Yesterday we had a department council meeting where accounts for 2023, with a result of approx. 6 million in operating profit, were adopted. As previously mentioned, this means that our deficit is now NOK 40.9 million. It also means that this is going in the right direction, thanks to a very good effort from all of us.
