From
the head of department
We would like to
congratulate Team Olsen which won the rector elections: Professors Dag Rune
Olsen as rector, Anne Lise Fimreite as prorector, Oddrun Samdal and Anne
Christine Johannessen as vice-rectors. Department of Physics and Technology
is an important contributor to UoB within the field of research, education
and innovation, and is looking
forward to good cooperation with the new rectorate over the next four years! Have a good one, News and general information
Applications IFT – Bachelor and Master
The number of applications from Samordnet Opptak has now been published.
For the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, the number of applicants
has increased by 79 % over the period 2008 -2013. For our department, the
number of applicants for bachelor programmes as follows: ·
Physics: 55 (+2 from 2012, an increase of 3,8
%) ·
Petroleum- and process technology: 266 (+58 from 2011, an increase of
27,9 %) The main application deadline for master studies was April 15. The Faculty
of Mathematics and Natural Sciences had in total 605 applications by those
who chose their programmes as priority (compared to 518 in 2012), and IFT holds
its numbers at 120 applications (compared to 112 applicants in 2012). The
applicants were divided over the respective programmes as follows: · Physics: 34 (+ 4 from
2012) · Petroleum technology: 39
(+4) ·
Process technology: 47 (same as previous year) Course books for the fall 2013 – message from Studia Studia is working on obtaining the right number
of chosen course books ready for the autumn semester, and it is therefore
important to obtain the course book lists from all course lecturers in due
time. This year, the deadline is set for May 6, and as usual we also draw out five gift cards of 1,000 NOK in value among those who
deliver their lists within the deadline. Coursebook lists
should be sent by e-mail.
Studia needs to know the title of the books,
authors’ names, possibly also the ISBN and publisher name, as well as the
number of students per course.
In case of no changes to your course book lists from previous year, Studia would
like to be informed about that as well. Compendia needs for the fall 2013 – message from Studia The deadline for reporting the need for
compendia is May 6. It is important to get feedback on this even if there are
no changes and the same compendium will be used as the previous year. The information you should report is the course
code, possible changes to the previous compendium, the number of compendia
you will need printed out, special specifications such as coloured front page
/ coloured print / hard cover etc. Ordering form should be sent to Inger Line Mæland Eurasia-programme, announcement of funds
SIU announces
grants to limited number of projects within Eurasia Programme. Norwegian universities and
colleges can apply together with partner institutions in Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus,
Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and
Turkmenistan. Maximum grant amounts to 250, 000 NOK. Read the attached
announcement and SIU’s webpages for more information. Application deadline is 20 June
2013 at 15:00 CET. All
applications should be delivered via Espresso. STAB
We have
the pleasure of wishing our two new colleagues a warm welcome to our
department:
Active emeriti
2013
Within the course of this year, we will obtain 12
active emeriti at our department. They give an important contribution to the
department’s activities within the field of research, education, innovation and
mediation. We would like to direct our gratitude to these 12 scholars: · Kjell Brønstad (Space Physics / Birkeland Centre) · Rolf Eckhoff (Petroleum- and Process Technology) ·
Arvid Erdal (Subatomic Physics) · Erling Hammer (Nano Physics and Electronics) ·
Halvor Hobæk (Acoustics) ·
Egil Lillestøl (Subatomic Physics) · Øystein Olsen from October 1 (Nano Physics and Electronics) · Per Osland from February 1 (Subatomic Physics) · Johan Stadsnes (Space Physics / Birkeland Centre) · Jakob Stamnes from July 1 (Optics and Nuclear
Physics) · Finn Søraas (Space Physics / Birkeland Centre) · Kjell Aarsnes (Space Physics / Birkeland Centre) The terms for granting the status of active
emeritus is work which is relevant for the department and which on the
average takes place ca. one day a week via: ·
Individual research and publication, ·
Teaching contribution, ·
Supervision contribution, · Popularization of science in the media, · Other activities approved by the department head The department has in addition several other
emeriti who occasionally appear at the department. PhD
