Invited to attend meeting organised by UiS working group on sustainable energy

Today I have been invited to a meeting to be organised by the University of Stavanger´s working group on renewable/environmentally friendly/sustainable energy, on May 8th. I will take part via telephone. The working group is tasked with suggesting how University of Stavanger can strengthen its research on sustainable energy.

Stavanger Aftenblad refers to petition (again); focus on petro-power vs. renewable energy

In the news article "Studentopprør mot oljemakt i forskningen" [Student revolt against petro-power in research], published by the Norwegian regional daily Stavanger Aftenblad March 23rd, the journalist, Ingeborg Eliassen, makes reference to last autumn´s petition for restructuring at University of Stavanger, under the subheading "Forskeropprør" [Researcher revolt]. I initiated the petition, which got 23 signatures, along with Oluf Langhelle.

The newspaper highlights the petition´s point 5, which implies that University of Stavanger should "seek new collaborators to build competence on renewable energy and improve chances of external funding on this area".
