Dear all colleagues,
We hereby invite you to participate in the annual event the Day of the Department in the University Aula on 9th May. Attached is the programme for the day. The main topic of the day is how we can get our research findings translated into policy and practice. There will also be presentations of exciting research projects taking place at IGS. The programme will be in English.
All PhD candidates are invited to take part and to participate in a poster competition with a poster that has been presented at a scientific conference in the last 12 months. Those who want to participate in the poster competition can specify it in the registration form. There will be prizes for the three best posters. The person who wins the poster competition will get a chance to present her/his poster for 5 minutes if she/he likes.
Since lunch will be served we need to know the number of participants by Wednesday 2nd May. Please fill in this registration form: https://skjemaker.app.uib.no/view.php?id=4913241
