From the head of department

This week we can be happy! The Research Council decided to award half a billion to 16 different research infrastructures, or equipment as we would like to call it. The list of accepted infrastructure shows among others the NMR-platform of the Department of Chemistry which is planned in an EnTek-building and SFF GeoBio for a new ROV/ remotely operated vehicle. We would like to congratulate all with the results and last but not least with the effort!

Have a good one,

Geir Anton
