Election Platform
I am seeking re-election to the University Board, as I wish to continue to work for increased participation and better working conditions for temporary academic staff at the University of Oslo.
Together we form a large and varied group of employees, who undertake an essential part of the research, teaching and research dissemination at this university. As such, it is of utmost importance that temporary academic staff are included in decision-making processes, and that we have employment conditions that facilitate professional development and personal welfare.
Over the past year the Ministry of Education has introduced major reform projects in the university sector. Parallel to this, the University Board has also initiated a series of internal reform processes, that will run through 2016. It has been very rewarding to get to be involved in these restructuring processes, and I would therefore like to serve one more term in the University Board, so that I can be involved in seeing them through to completion.
In view of the above changes in the sector and at UiO, it is important that our voices are heard and that our interests are safeguarded . With this in mind, I want to focus on the following three issues in the coming year:
1. Increased representation for temporary academic staff in decision-making bodies
Ensuring that temporary academic staff have better representation in decision-making arenas, has been one of my main goals this year. I have, in cooperation with UiODoc ( the interest organization for PhDs and Postdocs at UiO) worked for us to be included in the university's main decision-making bodies . At central, faculty and departmental level.
We have been successful in increasing our participation in most decision-making forums. Nevertheless
