Praise that the strategy is on the way, but also concern for the principle of academic freedom, characterises the consultation input to a new climate and environmental strategy for the University of Oslo.
At the board meeting on 19 October 2021, the University Board decided to offer Karen Marie Ulshagen the position of Faculty Director at the Faculty of Dentistry.
A specific 2030 climate target and the establishment of an Oslo Sustainability Centre at Lower Blindern are some of the proposals in the draft for a new and comprehensive climate and environmental strategy for UiO. Students and staff are invited to provide input.
The most attractive studies at the University of Oslo are the professional educations in medicine, psychology and dentistry, as well as law, the Honours programme and philosophy, politics and economics. The point limits for admission are increasing, and there are high application numbers for UiO's entire academic breadth.
Employees at the university have voted that Finn-Eirik Johansen, Ingrid Lossius Falkum, Elisabeth Garcia Gonzalez and Marianne Midthus Østby will represent them on the University Board.
The sketch applications for the Research Council's announcement of new Centers of Excellence (SFF) reflect that we are a research-intensive broad-based university. We recently submitted a total of 57 sketches. At the same time, we applied for research infrastructure of national importance for more than NOK 3 billion.
