Annual UIS research ethics seminar chaired

Today I have chaired the annual seminar in research ethics of University of Stavanger, arranged by the UIS research unit in collaboration with the faculties-initiative Forum for forskning. The topics were publication ethics (lecture by COPE council member Frits Rosendaal) and handling of sensitive personal data. Some 90 people attended, at Måltidets hus.

Project proposal feedback

Today I attended a meeting with a researcher from UiS´ Research and Innovation Department getting some feedback on my RCN project proposal "Assessing human and animal welfare in the Anthropocene" (AHAWELL).

Two meetings including RCN info meeting

Two meetings attended so far today - the first meeting of the appointment committee for Head of department at Norwegian School of Hotel Management, and an information meeting about applications to Research Council of Norway, for Faculty of Social Sciences and Faculty of Health Sciences. At the latter I offered introductory remarks along with fellow Vice-Dean of Research Henriette Thune (health sciences). Some 30 people were present.

ERC grant application work

Yesterday I spent most of the work day working on my ERC Consolidator Grant application. This included advice by phone from an involved consultant. It turns out that I am the only one from UiS planning to submit in this round.

Advisory meeting on ERC application

Today I have attended a Skype meeting involving an advisor from the Research Council of Norway (plus two advisors from University of Stavanger) where I was advised on CV, track record and application writing in relation to my forthcoming ERC Consolidator Grant application, due in February.

"Umwelt Theory For Our Time" application presented; expert feedback

Today I presented my application-in-process "Umwelt Theory For Our Time" for an expert panel organized by the University of Stavanger´s Research and Innovation Department. Half an hour was devoted to each application/idea, including feedback.

2-day workshop with Peter Dukes attended (PRE-FRIPRO event)

Today and yesterday I have attended the third and final PRE-FRIPRO event at University of Stavanger, organised by the university´s Research and Innovation Department and designed to prepare "Young research talent" applicants for research applications within the Research Council of Norway´s FRIPRO program (independent projects). The last two days the program has consisted in a workshop lead by Peter Dukes and attended by some 20 mostly young (and mostly talented) scholars. Very useful.
