From the head of department

You are now reading the last issue of IFT-posten for this semester. After the summer holidays a new 4 year period with new administration at UiB and the faculty. IFT will continue its contributions in order to realize UiB’s visions on becoming an internationally recognized research university. We would like to thank those who have worked very hard over many years and wish all the best to the new administration. A special congratulation to our new dean Helge K. Dale who has been employed by the University Board yesterday.

I would like to wish everyone a good summer holidays. Remember to allocate much time to doing nothing and also that us physicists have a great possibility for an outstanding semester start by participating at the Fysikermøtet – program and registration here.

Best Regards,
Geir Anton
