We are
nearing June 8 and one of the main deadlines for applications to the
Norwegian Research Council. The characteristic of this year is that IFT will
send as many as 4 proposals to the Centre for Groundbreaking Research (SFF) for
the prequalifications round. There they will be met with the sharp
competition from many other departments in order to pass on to the next
rounds (February 2012) for the final selection (September 2012). The new centres will be
established as of January 2013. In addition to
the four applications, IFT is also participating in 6 other SFF-proposals
which will be sent by other faculty departments or research institutions in
Bergen. The next issue
of IFT-posten will appear in two weeks, on Friday, June

University of Bergen strategy
2011-15 The University Council adopted the
universityÕs new strategy for 2011-2015 at the meeting held on 14 April
2011 (case 16/11). At the CouncilÕs meeting in December (case 70/11), the relationship between the universityÕs parent strategy and the facultiesÕ
strategic documents have been addressed. The Council asked for feedback
regarding the strategic plans for various faculties with emphasis on getting
an overview on how these will be concretized and in which ways they prioritize
the goals of the institutionÕs strategic plan (jf point
4 of the decision related to case 70/10). UoBÕs management
will return to this issue, with the aim of presenting a case for the Council
at the meeting in September. The management will return to the
Council with the issue of how various action plans, the annual reports and other
plans may contribute to concretizing the priorities regarding the new strategy.
The strategy document will be printed and distributed. UoBÕs management would like to thank
all for their contribution in the process of formulating the universityÕs strategy
for the forthcoming years. |
