From the head of department

This Friday we have the opportunity to praise three of our numerous and rather promising PhD students: Ragnhild Schrøder Hansen, Helene Hisken Pedersen and Anders Sivle who participated last evening in Research Grand Prix at Georgernes Verft. The selected 10 candidates competed this Thursday and two of these will enter the finals. Unfortunately none of our three candidates will go further, but they still deserve compliments on great efforts in popularising research on behalf of both IFT and there partners – a big thank you to all three of them! It says a lot when 30% of candidates in yesterday’s semi-finals come from our department, IFT!

Have a great weekend,
Geir Anton
