Work-shop for new international staff
The International Staff Mobility Office (ISMO) is pleased to invite new non-Norwegian researchers at the University of Oslo to the following workshop at Blindern campus on September 20, 09:00-11:30 am.
Title: "Want to understand Norwegian Working Culture?"
Introduction: "The Norwegian working environment is full of social norms and unwritten rules. The aim of this workshop is to provide participants with interesting and fun, but also important and useful insights into such norms and rules. For both non-Norwegian researchers and Norwegian staff at UiO, the workshop is highly recommended!"
The workshop will be lead by Lorelou Desjardins, a French jurist and writer who has lived and worked in Norway for 12 years. In Norway she is known for her popular blog, book and newspaper writings about life as a foreigner in Norway and how to understand Norwegian culture. Desjardins has lived in nine different countries and speaks English, French, Norwegian, and Indonesian.

Hvalrossen Freya: Fornuft og f?lelser
Hva sier v?rt m?te med Freya og medieoppmerksomheten det skapte om v?rt forhold til ville og tamme dyr?
Hvalrossen Freyas sommerturné rundt i indre og ytre Oslofjord gjorde den til ?alles? kj?ledegge. Og til horder av skuelystne, som ikke klarte ? la hvalrossen v?re i fred.
Hva sier v?rt m?te med Freya og medieoppmerksomheten det skapte om v?rt forhold til ville og tamme dyr, og hvilke liknende dilemmaer st?r vi overfor i m?tet med andre av havet skapninger? Og hva gj?r vi n?r livet i havet b?de skal vernes, og havet samtidig seiler opp som stedet for ny storstilt vekst og ?konomiske muligheter? Hva er vitenskapen og politikkens rolle for ? forst? og h?ndtere fenomenet?
H?r fire forskere som har fordypet seg i havets muligheter og begrensinger; som matfat og som arena for ? temme opprinnelig ville skapninger, i politikk, kultur og ?konomi, og i innovasjon og vekst. Visste du for eksempel at torsken i dag er et viktig fors?ksdyr, og at forskere studerer torsken for ? forst? menneskets immunsystem? Eller at tare og alger vil seile opp som middagsalternativ nummer en rundt i de tusen hjem?
M?t Kristin Asdal, professor og p?troppende senterleder ved TIK: Senter for teknologi, innovasjon og kultur ved UiO i samtale med forsker Tone Druglitr? og stipendiat Marie Stilling, begge fra TIK, og Kjetill Sigurd Jacobsen, professor og leder for Senter for ?kologisk og evolusjon?r syntese, Biologisk institutt, UiO.
Du f?r servert snacks fra havet, og det blir mulighet for ? kj?pe drikke.
Arrangementet er en del av 澳门葡京手机版app下载sdagene.
