The life science building: A plan for management and organisation in preparation (in Norwegian)
How should UiO organise the activity in the Life Sciences Building when it is completed in 2024, and what kind of management structure should the building have? This is on the agenda for UiO's steering group for the construction project.
- You may also read about the process with thematic areas for the life science building (in Norwegian)
New board and strategic advisory board (in Norwegian)
?yvind Fylling-Jensen, CEO of Nofima, is the first external chairperson of UiO:Life Science. For the first time, there are just as many representatives from the faculties of the humanities and social sciences as from medicine and natural sciences. At the same time, a strategic advisory board has been appointed for the first time.
