Ukrainian researchers at the Faculty of MedicineBildet kan inneholde: smil, briller, hode, briller, helsevesen.

Three Ukrainian researchers will have the opportunity to work in Charlotte Boccara’s, Espen Melum’s and Johannes Hov’s laboratories. They hope that more research communities will have the opportunity to welcome visiting researchers from Ukraine.

“The aim has been to provide a “safe haven” for research colleagues arriving as refugees from Ukraine for a few months while the situation in their hometowns hopefully improves,” says Professor Tom Hemming Karlsen, before continuing:

“Perhaps there are other communities that also have the capacity for this? Research is international, we work with international partners all the time and researchers have always been there for one another when the world has faced similar situations before.” Read the whole story and be inspired.

Most people are already used to using their mobile when logging in to online banks, to review tax declarations or use helsenorge.no. The University of Oslo will now become “as secure as the bank” and is introducing two-factor authentication. By 2 May, all employees at the Faculty of Medicine will need to log in using two-factor authentication.

The University of Oslo’s Sustainability Award for the best master's thesis

In 2018, the University of Oslo presented awards to the three best master's theses linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The purpose of the awards is to inspire originality and quality in master’s projects that contribute to knowledge and insight into sustainable development. Salma A. Eljailani Ahmed from Helsam was one of the winners with her master’s thesis on public health. It’s nearly time to nominate master's theses for this year’s award ceremony. It’s time to think about how we can showcase the master’s students whose work is worthy of this award. Keep an eye on the award website for details about the nomination process.
