Instituttrådet, at its meeting this month, decided that Fagområdene at IGS will receive an increased amount of money compared to what the research and education groups received last year. Please note that 20% of the amount must be used for activities that consolidate and strengthen Fagområdet as such. This was done to support these new constellations, without reducing the activity in the research groups and education groups.
A working group led by utdanningsleder Edvin Schei is currently working to propose changes in the former teaching account (undervisningsregnskapet). This may affect the way we teach if we arrange it wisely, and the leadership at the university level shows interest in the work. The education groups at IGS will of course be involved in the process.
Next month, the whole Department, except CIH (which will move back to Overlege Danielsens Hus later this year), will participate in the work station process preparing us for the move to Helsecampus Årstadvollen. This is your opportunity to influence your future work station! Please respond to the skjemaker request sent out recently. I hope as many as possible will participate, so that HCÅ becomes the work environment that we want and need.
