For ALL employees at the Chemistry Department!
NKS Bergen inviterer til et interessant, digitalt intervju!
Førsteamanuensis Alexander Sandtorv (UiO) er en tidligere UiB-kjemiker med mange molekyler i luften. I tillegg til at han har publisert flere lærebøker i kjemi er han aktiv spaltist i Morgenbladet, har deltatt flere ganger på Abels tårn, nylig laget en podcast med Kristopher Schau. Du har kanskje også sett han på Lindmo.
Vi tar en prat med Alexander Sandtorv – kjemiens ansikt utad!
STED: Streames på YouTube Kl 18.00-19.00
Some of you will remember that about a year ago, professor Nathalie Reuter was appointed member of the Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) of PRACE. Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe offers peer-review-based access to world class computing and data management resources and services to enable high-impact scientific discovery and engineering R&D across all disciplines. 
SSC is composed of European leading researchers, and it speaks volumes of Nathalie’s international standing that she has now been elected vice-chair of the SSC – a very prestigious appointment. We proudly congratulate both Nathalie and PRACE!
The ERC project Machine Vision opens an exhibition in the University Museum today. It runs until August.

In this workshop you will work on your own DMP using a digital DMPtool, e.g DMPOnline, and then share your DMP with other participants and get feedback on your own DMP. Experts from the University Library will also be there to guide you.

In October last year, John P. A. Ioannidis at Stanford University (widely renown for his 2005 PLoS Medicine paper «Why Most Published Research Findings Are False.») and his co-authors published a science-wide author database of standardized citation indicators based on the Scopus database. This has resulted in a list of the top 2% of the most-cited scientists in various disciplines, totalling 160,000 names including almost 1,000 researchers at Norwegian institutions. Five of them are affiliated with our department, and we congratulate our colleagues on the distinction! An interesting aspect is that only two of them (prof. Olav Kvalheim and prof. em. Rolf Manne) are shortlisted in the field of chemistry (in their case, analytical chemistry), while profs. Jeroen van der Sluijs, Øyvind M. Andersen and Tanja Barth have climbed the ranks within Environmental sciences, Plant biology and botany, and Energy, respectively. Chemistry comes in all flavours! More on this topic in Khrono.

UiB idé gives employees and students the possibility to apply for economic support for good innovation ideas, which must be developed and tested before they can be further developed.
For an idea to be innovative, it must be novel, create value and respond to specific needs from a certain user group, or from society in general.

With UiB idé, UiB has a program that can support your idea with both advice and funding, to help you to reach your goal.
The maximum funding amount is NOK 500,000 for researcher projects, and NOK 100,000 for student projects. The application deadline is 6 April 2021, and the project must be completed by December 2021. For the pilot year 2021, the total program budget is around NOK 2,000,000.
