Dear colleagues,

This year’s HSE day at IBM December 9. is approaching fast. This will be an activity-based day where we can get to know each other better. There will be both physical and creative tasks to be solved in groups. We start the day at 08.30 with a small welcome in the auditorium before we start with the activities. Remember leisure wear on the HSE day.

Finally, we can invite you to a Christmas party at IBM again (December 9th). The evening starts with a reception and the Head of Department’s speech at the second-floor foyer in BBB by the grand piano at 6.30pm. After the speech, we go to the Sammen cafeteria where we are served Christmas food. The evening continues with entertainment and socializing in the canteen and ends at 2am. The food is free, but you must bring your own beverage. Remember that there is registration for this event, the deadline for registration is 27. November.

To make sure that all purchases will be registered in this fiscal year, and to avoid package deliveries during the Christmas holiday, the final date for purchasing will be 12. December, before 14.00. It is important that you plan which spendings are to be issued before the end of the year, and that you assess what is needed regarding ongoing research activity in December and activities or disputation early next year. Purchases will resume as normal from the first business day of 2023.

The Communications Department at UiB are in the process of creating new page templates for research groups and research projects at www.uib.no, and they want to get input from the academic staff in research groups and research projects at our unit. The survey can be found here: Spørreundersøkelse om forskergrupper og forskningsprosjekter på www.uib.no, deadline Friday November 25.

I wish you all a great week!
