Cognitive lab: Constitutive steering group meeting chaired; not part of new steering group after all

Today I chaired the constitutive steering group meeting for Cognitive and behavioral neuroscience lab (Cognitive lab) at University of Stavanger. The meeting decided to downscale the steering group, from 21 members including deputy representatives to 10, with 7 permanent members and 3 deputy representatives, for 2023-2025. I am not among the members, after all. Kolbjørn Kallesten Brønnick, the former Managing Director, is the new Steering group leader, with Helge Bøvik Larsen re-elected as Deputy leader. Ulrich Dettweiler is the new Managing Director.

I chaired a ad hoc working group coordinating the establishment of the lab (2020-2021), and chaired the Steering group for the first 2 years (2021-2023). Initially, I suggested to establish a cross-faculty Cognitive lab in Spring 2020, which then got the support of Vice-rector for research Merete Vadla Madland.
