A word from the head of department
Tuesday and Wednesday
this week the faculty’s annual spring seminar was held down on the Sotra island. The first topic was publishing in which the
University Director talked about UoB’s operational
grants for research (20 kkr to all with more than three
publication points over 3 years). The participants were unanimous in claiming
that this is a good principle, but that the manner in which
these operational advances are awarded should be tackled by individual
faculties in order to take into consideration the differences in
publishing strategies and traditions. The issue regarding UoB’s increased contributions was discussed by the Chief
Financial Officer Kjell Bernstrøm
and the Faculty Director Bjørn Åge
Tømmerås. Here it can be stated that UoB has a
different view of the issue in comparison with the MN-faculty and the
departments. IFT was also represented by Jesper Gjerløv who held an
exciting lecture on space physics and on what is needed in order to build a
successful research career. Have a nice weekend, NEWS AND generAL informaTIon
Seminar on the Rector’s role
as an academic leader
All are welcome to the
seminar in Forum for Science and Democracy: ·
Rector’s
Role as Academic Leader Friday, April 27, from 14:15-16:00 at Studia, Student Centre. Rector Sigmund Grønmo introduces a debate on rector’s role as academic
leader. Professor Jan Petter Hansen of IFT and associate
professor Jan Heiret of the Department of Archeology,
history, cultural and religious science comment on rector’s article. Ordering food and similar from
the canteen
The department is lucky
to have Tran working in the canteen and offering us good and cheap food for lunch,
meetings and some special events after working hours. This can at times be
quite challenging for her when the orders come at the last moment. The
kitchen is small and has only one person working there, so this can be quite
problematic both in terms of getting the supplies and preparing the food. Therefore
please try to come with your orders WELL IN ADVANCE, preferably 2 or more days
before the event – depending on the size and type of event. Sabbatical applications
Now is
the time to apply for sabbaticals in 2013 or the period autumn 2013 – spring
2014, and for the financial support for doing your sabbatical abroad. The
applications should be delivered latest by May 29. More information on applying. Information
meeting on the last announcement in EU FP7
In July there will be the last announcement within
the EU FP7. In cooperation with the University of Bergen, Norwegian Research
Council invites to an event with useful information, see the preliminary programme.
Reserve Thursday, May 10 and register until May 7 (participation free of charge). International cooperation is important for Norwegian
research, and participation in EU’s frame programmes
holds high priority. Participation
offers valuable knowledge, reseaerch-networks and funding. Norwegian researchers participating in EU-research
secure Norway the valuable access to results and knowledge. The way towards
research results crosses both subject and national borders. Researchers who were
lucky to get their EU-applications granted emphasize the value of being a
part of an international research network. The Gas Conference in Bergen May
23.- 24.
This year’s programme covers a number of interesting topics with top
international lecturers at a very high professional level. On May 22, a field
trip will be organized to Bergen Engines factory for gas-driven engines at Hordvikneset, new gas stasjon
for gas-powered buses at Haukås, as well as to a
coffee-roasting factory Friele which
uses natural gas. More
information and registration. Women in Academia
Centre for Women
and Gender Research (SKOK) invites to a seminar
on "Women in Academia". Women born before WWII, who chose academia,
came to a mostly male setting. How did they experience this meeting of
genders? 16 pensionists tell their story. ·
