From the head of department

As mentioned before, University of Bergen is arranging the Alumni Days for the first time on Friday May 9 and Saturday May 10 2014. This is going to be a weekend with scientific input, social gathering and a broad selection of popular scientific contributions.

We encourage all our employees and students, as well as previous students and partners, to register at the Alumni portal – all who has completed a degree or taken exams at UoB can register themselves as alumni.

Registration form for employees can be found on this link and they will not be paying the registration fee, but they of course have to be registered as alumni.

The registration deadline is on May 1.

Have a good one.

Kjartan Olafsson

Announcement of YARA'S BIRKELAND PRIZE 2014

Yara's Birkeland Prize in physics and chemistry will be awarded on the basis of a PhD-degree completed at a Norwegian university. The prize alternates between physics and chemistry. It is awarded in chemistry every odd-numbered year and in physics it is awarded every even-numbered year. In 2014 the prize will therefore be awarded within physics. The prize consists of 100 000 NOK and a diploma. The prize will be awarded during the Birkeland lecture which, in 2014, will be held at the Norwegian Technical Science Academy on a Thursday in September. Potential candidates must have completed their PhD-degrees within the last two years. The thesis shall correspond with the spirit of Kristian Birkeland's research. Among others the keywords in this respect are: innovation, pioneering, innovative, coupling between theory and empirical studies, interdisciplinarity, technological innovation, industrial application, environmental relevance. Research groups, supervisors and permanent scientific employees at a Norwegian university can nominate candidates. The nomination shall include the name of the candidate, where the research has been conducted, supervisors, candidate's current employer, a detailed description of the PhD-work and an evaluation of the relevance of the work within today's research. A copy of the PhD dissertation shall be attached, either in paper (3 examples) or as a pdf document.

Nominations should be sent to Norsk Fysisk Selskap until May 15.
