News and general information

 

  IFT seminar

All are welcome to the next seminar where Professor Peter M Haugan, Department of Geophysics, will give a lecture on:

Friday, October 26 at 14.15, Auditorium B. Coffee, tea and cake will be served from 14.00.

  Reading lists to Studia

Studia is working to have the correct number of the relevant books ready for the students for the spring semester. Therefore, it is important that they receive the reading lists from the lecturers in advance. This year, Studia decided on November 5 as the deadline, and will as usual distribute five gift cards à 1000,- NOK to those who are among the ones delivering the reading lists before the deadline.

From this year on the reading lists can be registered on the web, using this link. Alternatively, a form can also be filled out and returned to Studia by email or post to Studia, Parkveien 1. Studia needs the titles and authors of the relevant books and preferably the ISBN and publisher as well as the total number of students per class.

Studia should also be informed in case of no changes to the reading lists from last year!

 Guest researchers – available housing

Due to entry problems, the optics and atomic physics group has an available studio apartment for a guest researcher until November 15. Contact Jan Petter Hansen in case there is need for housing for a guest or similar during this period.
