A Word from the Department Administration

The follow-up of the evaluation of basic physics research in Norway continues and a draft of the report has now been sent to the research groups by the Follow-up Committee. The deadline for delivering suggestions/recommendations, which is coordinated by the research group leaders who have received the draft, is set to Thursday, September 23. at 12:00.

It is a pleasure to see that the committee suggests the Norwegian Research Council to use parts of its funds, approximately 30 mill. NOK distributed over 3 years, for financing vacancies at the departments. This will make it easier to follow up the strategic suggestions of the evaluation - although these funds do not ultimately reach far.
