A
Word from Department Administration
|
We congratulate nuclear physics on their anniversary! DepartmentŐs story started with Nuclear
physics laboratory back in the late 1940s, several years prior to the
establishing of CERN, and the Bergen group has over the years given important
contribution to what we today know about the nucleus. The facsimile of the front
page of Physics Today 8 No. 4 (1955)
of the following title ÓNuclear Research in NorwayÓ bears witness to that
– with a photo of Bergen on the cover. Nuclear physicists in Bergen celebrate both with RutherfordŐs discovery of the nucleus 100 years ago (reference to BT-article below) and that one of BergenŐs grand old men within the field of nuclear physics, Karl Nybż, who recently turned 90. In the photo below you may see him surrounded by colleagues at yesterdayŐs seminar. All the best to you, Karl!

Pensionist meeting at the department We want to repeat the last yearŐs
success and invite the departmentŐs emeriti and pensionists
to dinner and socializing at the canteen on Tuesday, 25. October 2011 at 17:00. Geir Anton will give a speech on the
departmentŐs new "emeriti-policies" for an
improved and clearer relations between the department and the active
emeriti. Due to intended dinner catering, we would like you to register
latest by Friday October 21, at 12:00 to Karen Margrete
at 55 58 28 06 or Gjert at 55 58 27 61. The
invitations will also be sent out in the form of a formal letter. |

Norwegian Research Council invites to a dialogue meeting on energy
research (RENERGI-programme) RENERGI is being run from 2004 to 2013 and is now in its last phase. Now is the right time to think about how we can continue with the important commitment to the environmentally friendly energy research. We need and wish for suggestions from the universities, relevant institutions and business communities. We therefore invite you now to our dialogue meeting. Norwegian Research Council wishes to hear the participantsŐ suggestions on how energy research should be organized over the next period in the light of relevant strategies such as Energi21. We are particularly interested in hearing the different viewpoints on interaction between the various forms of how we can finance the research. We would also like to hear about which goals you have set for international pursuits within the field, and how a future energy research programme can best support this. Registration within 23. September.

Subsea Power in Bergen Norwegian Petroleum
AssociationŐs (NPF) department in Bergen invites on 15. September to a
meeting of members where the new Siemens investment "Siemens Subsea Power
Grid" will be presented.
On September 1, Siemens opened its new technology-
and development centre in Trondheim. About one billion
kroner has been invested in the technology which enables
the moving of oil and gas production down to the sea bottom. The opening of
this centre also marked the start shooting of a
global focus on underwater technology, called Siemens Subsea Power Grid. The
entire project will be managed from Norway and Trondheim, and will contribute
to an increased degree of recovery and more energy effective oil and gas production.
Siemens has already signed an arrangement with FMC Technologies on delivering
a similar solution for safe connecting of combined hydraulic- and cables to a
subsea-device placed at up to 1500 meters deep outside the shore of Angola. The
Siemens units will be delivered during the second quarter of 2012, and will contribute
to the connecting of power and signal supply to five different oil fields which
together have the oil reserves of 750 million barrels. NPF Bergen has ensured itself sales and marketing
director in Siemens Oil & Gas, Jan Helge Telseth, as lecturer at the meeting of members on
Thursday, September 15.. He will present this
exciting new project in more detail. |
