From the head of department

Happy new year to all of you! Right before Christmas I sent a note to all the employees of our department regarding the improved use of department’s space. Subsequently, we had many meetings where we received many good tips on how we can best proceed with the new measures. The principle of sharing out professors’ offices remains as it was – that is the only measure which really makes a difference in giving us more office space, but some of the bigger offices will be remain in use and will be functioning as meeting rooms for the use of various working groups.

We are starting with the work in the 4th floor of the north wing already this weekend, although the very noisy work such as cutting the concrete walls will take place after the usual working hours, but the reconstruction work will lead to a bit of a disturbance and we ask for your understanding. We will do our best to keep this to a minimum.

Have a good weekend!

  Fire training Spring 2013

In spring 2013 Eiendomsavdelingen arranges several fire defence courses for UoB employees. The courses take two hours, and consist of one hour of theory and one hour practical training. More information and course dates can be found here.

Registration is done collectively, therefore send an e-mail to administrative head as soon as possible, so we can forward it.

  Guidelines for UoB employees’ travels

We are presenting you with the letter from the University director containing the guidelines for UoB’s employees’ travel. We ask all the employees to take this into account.

  FLT’s education prize in the memory of Magnus Midtbø

The purpose of this prize is to encourage and award those who strengthen their formal knowledge and skills via education (primary or secondary school education) or those contributing to lifelong learning.

The prize will be awarded to outstanding student assignments: projects, bachelor and/or master thesis within the field of leadership, technical/technological, economics/administration, as well as assignments which, according to the prize-awarding committee’s evaluation fall within the association’s organizing area.

Furthermore, the prize can be awarded to persons, institutions, companies, associations and educational institutions which contribute to the groundbreaking work with facilitation and/or implementation of competence develop,emt and lifelong learning.
