Fredag 1. februar 2013
From the head of department Construction work at our department was, was along with the budget for 2013, the topic of last Thursday’s Department Council meeting. It was a very constructive meeting which will be followed by a general meeting this coming Friday, read more information below. The process of finding the solutions for an improved use of department space is both challenging and engaging, and that is indeed good. But it is also important to recognize that, what was considered to be good in the 70’s, no longer is, and that we need to think in the long run in order to ensure the optimal use of space in the years to come. Our master students and emeriti can otherwise enjoy the fact that we agreed in a consensus that it was not necessary to change their room constellations this time. Have a great weekend, Geir Anton News and general information Information meeting on the construction work at the department All employees and students are welcome to join the information meeting regarding the current construction work at our department: Friday, February 8, at 14:15 in auditorium B We intend to present you with the reasons why this reconstruction is a necessity and how we intend to proceed with it – along with the facts already presented in the announcements sent out last week and before Christmas. We also intend to go through the schedule for this work which we count on being finished by the summer. Some of you will have their offices moved to other placeswithin the building, but the biggest change will be that the professors’ offices will be shared by two. This has to be done as it is the only measure which will contribute greatly to the solution of the challenges ahead – and there will be no discussion about that at the information meeting. The aim of this meeting is to provide you all with information and receive comments and suggestions which contribute to finding the best solutions, within the given framework. Welcome! New issue of FunderFinder Januar-issue of FunderFinder is now ready for downloading – obligatory reading for all research employees! Read also the interview with Bodil Holst on EU-project NEMI – for inspiration. Open meeting at the Norwegian Technical Science Academy NTVA invites to a meeting in Bergen with professor Nikolai Østgaard, IFT / UoB: New Phenomena i Space Science – gamma ray beams, blue jets and red spirits Tuesday, 19. February 2013, at 19:00 in Nansen Center at Marineholmen, Thormøhlens gate 47. The meeting will be followed by a simple meal consisting of fish soup and friendly chat. The price is 100 NOK per meal. Registration latest by Thursday, February 14, 15:00, but this is required only of those who intend to stay for the meal. New book from IFT Professor II Gianangelo Bracco and Professor Bodil Holst are editors of a new book Surface Science Techniques published by the Springer Publishing. The book gives a shortened presentation of the analytical surface methods, their applications, and an overview of the most recent developments in the field. This book is particularly useful for students and fresh beginners within the field of analytical surface methods and nano-science. Congratulations from our department! The vacancy as the administrative director at Uni Research is now announced The position of the administrative director (AD) in Uni Research is a temporary appointment of 6 years The current AD Arne Svindland’s mandate is now expriring and he does not want to reapply for another term. The process of finding Svindland’s successor has already started and the position will be announced on February 2. We cound on appointing the new AD latest by fall 2013. Svindland has volunteered to sit in the chair until his new successor’s appointment. IFT in the media Kjartan Olafsson: Aluminiumsfolie hindrer statiske klær, abcnyheter, January 31.
