On 23 September, researchers and university leaders gathered at the University of Oslo for a seminar on the evaluation of UiO: Life Science, one of the university’s largest interdisciplinary initiatives.
Tone Druglitrø from TIK and Maximilian Fochler from the University of Vienna presented the evaluation report, which examines UiO: Life Science as a strategic initiative and experiences with organizing interdisciplinary research across disciplines and research communities.
The presentation was followed by a panel discussion. The participants were Mathilde Skoie, Vice-Rector for Research and Internationalisation at UiO; Jens Petter Berg, Vice-Rector for Life Sciences and Health Research; Carl-Henrik Gørbitz, Director of UiO: Life Science; Lise Øvreås, Professor at the University of Bergen and President of the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council; and Maria Bårdsen Hesjedal, Researcher at NTNU Social Research.
