From the head of department
All of you interested in particle therapy and medical physics should
know that on Monday, October 28 12:00-14:00, we will have a miniseminar with
the tentative title «Physics in particle therapy» at the department. We will
come back with more information, it is however important to reserve the time.
Rector who is a professor of medical physics will be giving the first lecture. Have a good one, Geir Anton News and general information
IFT seminar – horizon lecture
All are welcome to the upcoming horizon lecture where Bjørn Gjevik, professor emeritus UiO, will be giving a lecture:

Every fall, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and its
department arrange PÅ VEI. The goal of the arrangement is to help first year
students to think about their future work toward an Msc degree and the choice
of occupation as well as helping them to have longterm goals during their
studies. Read more here. Most BSc students will not have lectures on Tuesday October 15 10:00-16:00
in order to be able to attend alo the presentation of this year's lecturer
prize and career oriented lectures. Invitation to the education
conference at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, UiB
The program for the faculty's education conference is now ready. This year we have emphasized that the program should be directly useful for the lecturers and that the themes should lead to good dicussions about education among lecturers, students and others with interest in education. Both students and employees are welcome to attend the entire or parts of the conference. Contributors are both employees from the faculty, other faculties/departments at UiB and from the University of Copenhagen. We are especially glad that students will also contribute to the conference program. Thursday October 17 in Aud. 1 at Realfagbygget. Register here. In case you do not wish to join the lunch, then please specify this in the comments field. Announcement of the faculty's funds and

home page. The winner of the lecturer prize 2012/13
Assoc. Prof. Thomas Spengler, Department
of Geophysics, is named the lecturer of
the academic year 2012/2013 at the Faculty of Mathematics and
Natural Sciences. Announcement of Erasmus Organizing
Mobility (OM)-funds
There are now new OM-funds available
to the faculties for the academic year 2013/14. Scientific and
administrative employees can apply for OM-funds to cover expenses related to
activities that promote student mobility within the Erasmus program such as: · contact
travels to create new collaboration agreements · contact
travels with the purpose of quality assurance of agreements, etc. · arrangements
which promote exchange within the Erasmus program · measures
to integrate incoming Erasmus students · compilation
of information material and similar. Researcher
exchange with University of Washington, USA and Memorial University of
Newfoundland, Canada for the academic year 2014/2015.
It is now possible to apply for researcher exchange with University of
Washington (UW) and Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN). The
stay can be used for research, teaching or a combination of these subject to
agreement with the host institution. Applications shall be sent using a separate application form. The
departments are asked to prioritize the applications before sending them over
to the corresponding faculties within October 25, 2013. PhD Trial lectures
