A WORD FROM THE HEAD OF DEPARTMENT

On Thursday, we finally sent the 2012 budget proposal to the Department Council for evaluation. We can say that this is going to be the year in which our department's action space will be severely affected: Because of the fact that we get to keep considerably less of the coverage margin at the department, we have to budget with most probably the greatest deficit in our department's history (2.9 million NOK). The situation is the same as the one described by our colleague  Anders Goks¿yr for the department of biology in PŒ H¿yden this week. The consequences of reduced action space have been investigated thoroughly during the last years, and are well-known by now. Therefore, there will be no need to further elaborate on this here.

NEWS AND GENERAL INFORMATION

 

  Update on the work on the network

We have to expect some noise throughout the entire period, mostly by the start of a new stage. Works that lead to lots of noise will preferably be moved to before 8.15 am and after 4.00 pm, and during lecture breaks (between a full hour and quarter past). In case one is disturbed during a lecture, exam or similar activities, one has to notify the responsible party. This will then be taken into account. Work drawings for the 4., 5. and the 6. floors are now posted on the board in the 5. floor. Here, you will also be able to find future plans. The areas will be cleaned as the works are completed. A thorough cleaning will be performed when the entire project is completed.

  The Energy prize 2012

Do you have an exciting idea within environment friendly energy? We need innovative solutions in order to create a more sustainable future. Tankesmia Green Phase, the Ministry of Oil- and Energy and Tekna will be distributing a prize of 50.000 NOK to the best idea which promotes environment friendly energy. More information.

Students and young researchers are encouraged to present their creative ideas! Application deadline: March 1. 2012

  Lecture free day at the faculty

We would like to bring to all lecturers' attention that February 9. will be a lecture free day at the faculty due to an internal student arrangement

  The innovation conference Grow 2012

Grow is building a bridge between the private business sector, public sector and research- and development environments. Join the Bergen region's biggest innovation conference:

  • Thursday March 15. in Grieghallen

At Grow you will be able to receive the network and knowledge necessary to succeed in innovation and development. International and national lecturers will be coming and encourage entrepreneurs and established businesses to be innovatove. Local success stories will be presented, and growing businesses will be meeting strategists and potential investors. Knowledge is replenishment, and replenishment gives motivation! Leading analysts will be presenting their thoughts on the development in the future, and you will hear more on how new services and products can be developed together with your clients and users. We would like to wish you welcome to an active and energizing conference with lectures, workshops and speed dating with the lecturers. Register today – there is a limited number of places to reduced prices for students.
