My employer University of Stavanger (UIS) will only cover one conference participation this year, whereas I have had ca. 3-5 funded per year the last few years - a quite drastic change for me. As a professor, and a researcher who has at some points in the last few years been the most active at my faculty (Faculty of social sciences) regarding international conference presentations, I find this development worrisome - I feel I do not get the funding and support I need to do my job as well as I can. Some of these events it seems I can attend digitally, but I know from experience that that is not the same thing as attending physically.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I applied for external funding for conference participation from Nansenfondet, but have now been notified I did not get any funding.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I will now have to tell the organizers of the world congress of semiotics, in Poland, that I will not be able to attend, despite being a member of the world congress´ scientific committee.

In the board meeting, the Khrono coverage featuring me (<a href="https://www.khrono.no/hoyskolevisjonen-for-uis/853140">letter to the editor</a> and <a href="https://www.khrono.no/vil-spare-penger-ved-a-kutte-i-forskningstiden/853018">interview</a> respectively) was referred to by both board members representing UIS employees, and by Director of business management and development John Viflot, although I was not mentioned by name (but mentioned by Hansen as "one of our colleagues").</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hansen said the suggested guidelines should be withdrawn, and that he has demanded that the university board, not rector Klaus Mohn, makes any decision related to new work planning guidelines. This was supported by several other board members.</p>Morten Tønnessenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01739932997305992100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079088878169683477.post-74004945266130313172024-03-14T04:04:00.000-07:002024-03-14T04:06:44.108-07:00"Wasted GDP in the USA" reached 10.000 Article accesses<p style="text-align: justify;">My article <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-023-02210-y">"Wasted GDP in the USA"</a>, published last October, has now reached 10.000 Article accesses.

I also got some editorial information and feedback and made some plans with regard to my chapter "Ecological semiotics", which will be part of the 3rd edition of <i>Encyclopedia of Ecology</i>, and the article on Arne Næss´ views on economics which I co-write with Jan Karlstrøm and Thomas Hylland Eriksen, which we got back from <i>Norsk Filosofisk Tidsskrift</i> for revision.
