A
Word from the Department Administration
We would
like to encourage all employees and students to come and listen to today’s talk
which will be about one of the biggest unanswered questions in physics, ”The
dark energy of the universe”.
We would
like to congratulate Laszlo Csernai for the research co-operation agreement
between UoB and GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research.

Today’s seminar
Professor
Øyvind Grøn, The University College of Oslo and The University of Oslo: "The dark energy of the universe"
In the
lecture the connection between the observations and the conclusion, that 70% of
the universe consists of dark energy which, in turn, causes repulsive
gravitation, will be explained. Furthermore, the conclusions regarding the
properties of the dark energy based on the general theory of relativity
combined with some simple assumptions will be presented. These are: the
universe is homogeneous in a bigger scale and thus, is expanding adiabatically,
the dark energy has the properties of a perfect fluid, and that one cannot
measure velocity with respect to the dark energy.

Open Strategy Day Wednesday,
September 22. - Welcome!
To the
departments, the faculty management, Information- and Discussion Committee, Scientists’
Student Committee, Faculty’s PhD committee and many more
In 2010 a new strategic plan for the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences is being designed. The new plan will be valid for the period 2011-2015.
Contributions
to the new strategic plan and/or to the process itself are desired from both
employees and students. A draft of a new strategic plan was prepared before the
summer holidays. All employees and students were invited to contribute to this.
On
Wednesday, September 22. an open seminar will be held at the faculty in
connection with the strategy plan work for all interested students and
employees.
Among
others, the current draft and the contributions to this will be discussed. We
will also go through the current strategic plans, discuss recently performed
evaluations of our scientific fields as well as the evaluations from the
previous ”round”.
More
information can be found on:
http://www.uib.no/matnat/ressurser/aktuelt/intern-strategiprosess-ved-matnat
...and this
will be updated eventually (with respect to time, place and final program for
September 22.).
The
departments are kindly asked to distribute this information to all students and
employees, but also asked to draw researcher group leaders’ and council and
committee members’, especially department council members’ attention on the
seminar.

Dear
colleagues,
If you are
interested in informations about Nanoscience and Nanotechnology activities at
the
We send out
informations concerning relevant seminars, funding possibilites etc. We only
send out crucial information and you
will not recieve more than about two emails a month or less.
If you have
any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me directly on
bodil.holst@uib.no. You can also contact me if you need to use nanorelated
equipment for your research which is not available in your own lab or if you
just generally think that "nano" perhaps might be able to provide
some answers to a research question in your own field.
The mailing
list is open for everybody.
best wishes

Courses in Health, Environment and Safety (HES)
at UoB fall 2010
The HES-section
at the Staff- and Organization Department and the Property Department at the
Audience
The primary audience for the courses includes all employees with laboratories as their primary work places. Newly employed are especially encouraged to follow the courses.
The course ”Radiation protection – ionizing radiation” is obligatory for all who work with ionizing radiation sources and those who have not attended a course on radiation protection at UoB earlier. This includes PhD- and M.Sc. students as well. The course is offered both in Norwegian and English.
The course ”Systematic
HES-work” is relevant for HES-coordinators, members of HES- committee and employees
with HES-tasks at all units.
Courses that are offered
