Rector candidate Hans Petter Graver

– Recent political developments have made it more important for me to help defend UiO’s and academia’s position. I have extensive leadership experience and my interdisciplinary background is worthy of note.

– I enjoy getting people to work together and am inspired by processes that help staff and students at UiO to flourish, says Hans Petter Graver.

Rector candidate Svein Stølen

– I am very fond of UiO, both its people and the community it represents, and our role in society. I am particularly concerned with the improvement potential in the fields of education, human resource policy and interdisciplinarity.

– As a leader I will have my feet on the ground and be concerned with concrete action, and I believe that as head of department and Vice-Dean at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, I have demonstrated that I can chart a direction and get things done, says Svein Stølen.
