Christmas Party Friday 28
thNov – deadline for registration is 10
thNov
A registration list is now in the reception at 4th floor. Please notice that the deadline for registration is 10th November. Welcome!
HSE and emergency situations
The University of Bergen generally covers the employees when they are working, also on working trips. However, there are many exceptions, and we would strongly recommend that you:
3 1) Pay the travel with a UiB credit card. The application form for such a credit card can be
obtained from Mildred Selvik at the central Personnel Department,
[email protected] , and returned to her after filling it in. If the travel is paid by the credit card, you are covered by the card’s travel insurance. UiB pays the yearly fee for the card, but you pay the invoice from the card company yourself, and get reimbursed by the ordinary travel reimbursement forms/PagaWeb.
2) Have a personal travel insurance, and other insurances as well, to be sure that you are sufficiently covered
If an incident should occur, you can always contact the Head of Department, or Head of
Administration. All information about the Faculty’s Plan of Preparedness, which can be found here:
http://www.uib.no/matnat/55533/beredskapsplan-det-matematisk-naturvitenskapelige-fakultet (unfortunately in Norwegian only).
Safety delegates election
Safety delegates represent all employees in working environment matters. The safety delegates have a supervisory role, as well as being an important collaborator for the Line Management.
Safety delegates at UiB are divided into three levels:
- The University's chief Safety delegate - Safety delegates at faculties
- Local Safety delegates
UiB Safety delegates at all levels are elected for a period of 2 years. Current Safety delegates are elected for the period of 2013-2014. At the Department of informatics the current Safety delegate is Liljan Myhr, with Marta Lopez as deputy delegate. Liljan cannot be reelected, but Marta has accepted to take over as Safety delegate.
If you have other suggestions, please give them to Head of administration within Friday 31st October.
If no other suggestions are delivered within the deadline, Marta is elected as Safety delegate for the coming 2 years. If several persons would like to be Safety delegate, an electronical election will be held in November. Please notice that we would also be happy to receive suggestions for the deputy delegate.
Information about the administrative reorganization project at the Faculty
There has been a survey among the administrative employees, with a response percentage of more than 80. Many suggestions were given to the project group and subgroups, which will start their work this week. Scientific staff, technical staff and students will also be invited to give input to the process. The feedback from the administrative staff, and information about the project, can be found here: https://w3.uib.no/nb/auprosjektMN
The purpose of the project is to develop better administrative services at the MN-faculty, with a special focus on being close to the researchers and students. Competence, less vulnerable
4 organization and motivated employees are also important factors. Delegates from the Department of informatics are professor Kjell Jørgen Hole in the project group, study leader Mari Garaas Løchen in the study subgroup, and head of administration Anne Lien in the personnel subgroup. The Head of department Petter Bjørstad is in the strategy group. The Faculty Board will deal with the groups’
suggestions in March 2015.

Funding for a Service centre for foreign employees - SUA
A new Service centre for foreign employees has been funded by the State Budget. See the news here:
http://www.bt.no/nyheter/okonomi/--En-stralende-dag-for-Bergen-3214298.html
SUA (Servicesenter for utenlandske arbeidstakere) er et samarbeid mellom Arbeidstilsynet, politiet, Skatteetaten og Utlendingsdirektoratet for å forenkle saksbehandlingstid på søknader og tilby god veiledning for arbeidsinnvandrere. Alle som ønsker å jobbe i Norge, samt familiemedlemmene deres, kan bruke senteret. Det gjelder også for personer utenfor EU og EØS som skal søke opphold for å arbeide i Norge. Det finnes allerede SUA i Oslo, Stavanger og Kirkenes. Over statsbudsjettet bevilger regjeringen 10 millioner kroner til et SUA-kontor i Bergen. Dato for åpning er ikke satt, men skal etableres i Skatt vest sine lokaler i Bergen sentrum.
Changes in the person web pages at UiB
The person web pages have been moved to a new platform. The changes you would like to do to your person web page can be done here: http://w3.uib.no/nb/user , with your ordinary UiB login.
Personsiden din på universitetets nettsider blir i løpet av oktober flyttet til ny plattform. Adressen til siden vil være den samme som før, og alt nåværende innhold vil automatisk bli videreført.
5 Fra og med i dag kan du logge deg inn på din nye personside på http://w3.uib.no/nb/user/uib/ali064 og begynne å redigere innholdet knyttet til din side.
NB! Det er nå ikke lenger mulig å redigere eller legge til innhold på de gamle personsidene. De nye personsidene blir endelig lansert på uib.no i uke 43. Fra dette tidspunktet vil de nye personsidene også være synlige for omverden, samtidig som de gamle personsidene ikke lenger vil være tilgjengelige.
Det lanseres en rekke nye funksjoner for personsidene, blant annet visning av personlige
publikasjonsoversikter hentet fra CRIStin og frie emneord for å beskrive egne fagfelt, forsknings- og arbeidsområder.
Den nye personsiden vil fremstå tilfredsstillende også uten aktiv oppfølging, men vi håper du vil ta i bruk de nye funksjonene og mulighetene som er utviklet.
Nærmere beskrivelser av funksjonalitet og brukerveiledning for personsidene finner du her.
Sentral brukerstøtte er tilgjengelig via IssueTracker eller e-post til [email protected].
