A WORD from the head of department

The results of prequalification round for the application process with the Centre for Groundbreaking Research (SFF) is getting vloser – Norwegian Research Council will announce this around May 15. For the initiatives which go through the eye of the needle, the deadline for sending the final SFF proposals is August 22. IFT also stands quite strong here now that the SFF proposal from Laszlo CsernaiCenter for Matter Dynamics under Extreme Conditions” has received top evaluation in the prequalification round. Congratulations! From before we also had ”Birkeland Center for Space Science” with Nikolai Østgaard & co in the same category, and “Norwegian Centre for Dark Matter Research” with Anna Lipniacka & co right behind. This will be very exciting!

A great weekend to all of you,
Geir Anton

News and general information

 

  Physics Show April 21.

As mentioned in an earlier issue, Physics Show Bergen and EuroPhysicsFun arrange the anual conference ShowPhysics at IFT from April 16-21. Some 50 young physicists from the whole of Europe will gather here to discuss and improve their ways of distributing knowledge about physics. The new lessons will be presented live with a grand (and free) physics show at VilVite on Saturday, April 21, from 11-15 o’clock. You will definitely enjoy this one, so book a date already today! The participants have requested over 400 litres of liquid nitrogen for 4 hours with the physics show. The larger part of it will be used by PhysiScope from Geneve who will bring with them their "levitating surf"; a board which soars upwards with the help of superleaders over a 6 meters long magnetic rail. We hope to see you there!

Piotr Mydel from Gades will share his experiences in EU research project coordination and participation. Program and registration.

  Workshop  - The Craft of Scientific Presentations

 

·      Getting close to your PhD dissertation?

·      Presenting at a conference?

·      Nervous?

·      Sweaty?

 

Improve your scientific presentations skills with the Michelsen Centre. You are welcome to a Michelsen Centre / FACE workshop given by Associate Professor in Engineering Communications, Michael Alley from Penn State University:

·      The Craft of Scientific Presentations

·      Finse May 22-23, 2012

The primary audience is PhD-students and postdocs associated with the two Centres, in the case of the Michelsen Centre this means PhD-students and postdocs from the following departments of the University of Bergen:

·      Department of Physics and Technology

·      Department of Chemistry

·      Geophysical Institute

·      Department of Biology

Master students will be allowed as capacity allows. More information and registration.

  Entrepreneurship in higher education

    

Norgesuniversitetet and NHO invite to a conference with focus on sharing the experience and challenges in educational institutions’ work with entrepreneurship. Projects which have received funds from Norgesuniversitetet, will present their experiences. In addition, John H. Andersen (Ferd Sosiale Entreprenører), Lene Foss (Professor innovation / entrepreneurship) and Caroline Jenner (Ja-Ye) will contribute with their different perpectives on entrepreneurship.  Programme and registration.

Norgesuniversitetet announces also in 2012 a budget of 4.5 mill kroner given to projects which promote innovation and entrepreneurship in higher education. Application deadline is June 15.

 h-bar

We would like to remind you that h-bar is open every Friday from 19:00-01:00. There is also a quiz with fine prizes from 20:00.

H-bar is run by the department’s Fagutvalget and is primarily for students from our department – but the employees are also welcome!

On Tuesday, April 17 at 19:00 there will be held a pub lecture with Dieter Røhrich on the topic of Nuclear Energy.
