(TCLS= Thursday Chemistry Lunch Seminar: 12.15-13 @ Tripletten
For ALL employees at the Chemistry Department!
Course content: The European framework program Horizon Europe supports is the EU’s main funding programme for research and innovation. Running from 2021 to 2027 with a budget of 95.5 billion euros, it is the most extensive research funding programme globally. It supports a wide range of research and innovation activities, including primary and applied research, innovation projects, and networking activities, and provides funding and opportunities for researchers in all fields and at all career stages.
However, complexity and documentation render the program challenging to navigate. Many scientists with excellent ideas are not participating in the program despite their outstanding research. On the other hand, a few magically attract funding. They know how to network, find relevant «Call to Action» and write a competitive proposal, next to being a good researcher. These observations are my main drivers for developing a practical how-to course on using the vast amount of data in the EU system to think outside the box and understand and navigate the Horizon Europe framework program.
Learning outcome:
Participants will get an overview of:
– How to take advantage of past and current projects funded by the EU Commission to think outside the box?
– How to navigate Horizon Europe – Pillar II to find relevant «Call to Action»?
– How to write the core concept of a research proposal?
Target group:
Suitable for both scientific and administrative staff who want to learn more about practical creativity, Horizon Europe and developing research proposals. Please note that this is an internal UiB course, and is only open to UiB employees.
Duration: The course lasts 2,5 hours. There will be an exchange of experience and group work along the way.
Principal trainer: Hiwa Målen (PhD & RM), Department of Research and Innovation, University of Bergen.
For admin. support staff: 10.06.22.
For scientific staff: 17.06.22.

Dr. Diego C. Rodríguez Hernández is presently starting up in his new position as a Postdoctoral Researcher for the SEAS program, in Monica Jordheim’s group. This research program (2022-2025) emphasizes the chemical studies of natural products of sustainable organisms living in areas of hydrothermal vents from deep-sea in the Artic and Artic Mid-Ocean Ridge, with an ecological and pharmacological approach, using metabolomics, bio-guided fractionation, modern mass spectrometry and NMR analyses. 
Diego’s research interests are Natural Products Chemistry, Chemical Ecology and Medicinal Chemistry working on the following topics: Isolation and structural elucidation of bioactive secondary metabolites from plants, microorganisms, and deep-sea fauna, among others. Understand the role of these natural products in their different environments. Chemical transformations of Natural Products. Design, Synthesis, and evaluation of Organic Compounds with pharmacological potential.
Meet and greet our new PhD student, Tobias Rindfleisch, who will be a member of the Miettinen group at the Department of Chemistry and CBU. He will focus on testing and developing molecular dynamics models of intrinsically disordered proteins against NMR relaxation data. Tobias holds MSc in Bioinformatics and BSc in Biochemistry from the University of Potsdam (Germany).
Summer School 2022 – Computational Molecular Design — 9th – 11th May 2022, Bergen 🇳🇴
The 2022 NordCO2 Summer School was organised by UiB around the theme of “Computational molecular Design” and ran across 3 days with lectures and exercise sessions conducted and given by a group of dedicated Lecturers:
- Pr. Vidar R. Jensen (UiB)
- Dr. Marco Foscato (UiB)
- Pr. David Balcells (UiO)
- Jonas Ekeli (UiB)
- Simen Reine (UiO)
This summer school is one of a string of events in The Nordic Consortium for CO2 Conversion (NordCO2, funded by NordForsk through the Nordic University Hub call), which is a network for Nordic researchers working on chemical CO2 conversion in the Nordic countries. NordCO2 promotes knowledge exchange, initiates novel scientific collaborations, jointly trains Nordic students and organizes outreach activities.
Welcome to Horizon Europe Inspiration Workshop – a follow-up event to the Info Day in January 2022.
13.05.2022, at 09.30-15.00. Scandic Hotell Ørnen.
All UiB researchers are welcome to this event.
The programmme begins with a brief overview of the different types of funding available for research, innovation, career and networking in Horizon Europe and Erasmus + and how to find them.
Researchers and research advisers from UiB share their experiences in talks and panel debates on network building, team building and proposal writing.
Mingling sessions: Throughout the day, there will be open stations where researchers can get advice and help from research advisers to find funding opportunities within their research field or interest, or ask questions about Horizon Europe and Erasmus +.
Vi gratulerer Inger Johanne med 25-års jubileum i godt selskap! For meir info, sjå artikkel i På Høyden.

Kunnskapseplet
I dette foredraget, vil førsteamanuensis Martin Møller Greve fra Institutt for fysikk og teknologi gi en introduksjon til hva nanoteknologi er. Han vil ta for seg noen dagsaktuelle eksempler som demonstrerer viktigheten til nanoteknologi for å løse teknologiske og forskningsmessige problemer og se på muligheter for nyvinninger og løsninger innen klima og energi. Foredraget blir avsluttet med ett blikk på forskning som blir gjort ved UiB for å forbedre effektiviteten til solceller.
Arrangementet varer omtrent ca. 30-45 minutter og det blir enkel servering av kaffe og kjeks. Alle er hjertelig velkommen!

Hello world,
My name is Angeliki Barouti, or just Lina, and I come from the beautiful island of Crete in Greece. I was always impressed by the diverse flora and fauna of my country and how they contribute to both the ecosystem and peoples’ lives. This led me to not only keep buying tons of plants but also to Pharmacy school at the National Kapodistrian University of Athens. The field that intrigued me the most was the Natural Products domain where I carried out my thesis. After completing my BSc, I undertook an MSc in Medicinal Natural Products and Phytochemistry at University College London where I dug into more aspects of Pharmacognosy. 
Now, I am still looking forward to contributing to the research on natural products. I am very happy I did a swift to marine natural products and I can dive more into this under-explored source of new chemicals.
I am joining Monica Jordheim’s research group here at the Chemistry Department and Lars Herfindal’s group in the Department of Clinical Science. I am working on a very interesting, interdisciplinary project about marine bioprospecting. I focus on the chemical analysis and bio-guided fractionation, targeting high-value products from marine algae and epiphytes.
I find very fascinating the field of ethnopharmacology and the ethical dilemmas about bioprospecting so if you feel like wanting to learn more about these or my work let me know!! Cheers, Lina
