From the head of department

On Monday, April 7, the Faculty Board decided to offer Øyvind Frette the Head of Department position at the Department of Physics and Technology. Øyvind is well-known by most employees and students at the department. På Høyden has interviewed him on the matter. The starting date and the presentation of the keys is not yet decided.

We would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter and welcome to a newly refurbished canteen on April 22.
