Dear all;
Happy New Year to all!
UiB, NTNU and UiO have purchased a new booking system (BookitLab), to be used in core facilities and laboratories at the universities. From January 1st, the first 4 core facilities at our Medical Faculty (MIC, PROBE, BiSS and Flow Cytometry) started to use this system.
BookitLab collects project information directly from our economy system Unit4 during registering of new projects. The project leaders must contact their project economist, who will set up the individual projects (including budget limits and user access). Finally, the Administrative Leaders will approve the project, and then users are ready to book!
So far, the transition from old to new booking system has gone very well! In case you have questions, contact mic@uib.no.
Every year, The Medical Faculty is awarding prizes within research, innovation and teaching. See also information sent by email to all employees at IBM on January 11th. If you have suggestions for nominations, please send this with a justification to Anne Mette Søviknes, latest on Friday January 20th.
Finally, I would like to draw your attention to some of the current funding calls. Funding is available for young national and international candidates with outstanding academic merits and research potential, through a TMS Starting Grant from Trond Mohn Foundation (application deadline March 8th). The Foundation Kristian Gerhard Jebsen calls for proposals for funding two new K.G. Jebsen Centres for Medical Research this year, with application deadline May 8th. You can contact Marion Kusche Gullberg and Anne Mette Søviknes for more information, in addition to the TMS and K.G. Jebsen web pages.
I wish you all a good and productive week!
Best regards
