UKE 7, FEBRUAR 2019

No Ukeblad last week due to a dire lack of stoff. Sad times for
Leder
tired academics. We are however pleased to bring this weeks
extra snazzy, extra informative and super-delicious (?) edition
for your reading pleasure.
You've been travelling places, been interviewed, started
working here, had some spritzes and (perhaps most
importantly) sent pet pictures. As the frequency of new KULT-
pets naturally has dwindled somewhat, we now open up for
repeats. So keep the pictures coming.
So ... kick back with your favourite beverage, let the mood take
you, and quietly glide towards the weekend with this freshest
of fresh issues.
Take care!

KULTERE UT I VERDEN
Although the INTPART project with Japan does not officially
begin until April 1, Guro and Jennifer are preparing for a great
start. This past Wednesday they attended the Norway-Japan
Academic Network Seminar in Oslo, co-organized by The
Research Council of Norway and the Japan Society for the
Promotion of Science. After a full day of presentations and
networking, they now consider themselves experts in all
concerning Norway’s collaboration with Japan.

UT I VERDEN III
Trine and I have just returned from
KULTERE

project QUEST - QUality and
Effectiveness in Science and
Technology communication - held in
Venice, 4-6 February. NTNU will
deliver work mapping and
developing the state of the art in
European science communication.
Aside from a productive meeting with partners from Italy, Ireland,

pasta, and ubiquitous spritzes…
