Academic Morning Coffee at the Faculty of Social Sciences
Wednesday mornings, employees, students and everyone else interested are invited to take their morning coffee at the Social Sciences Building! Academic Morning Coffee is a social, professional and informal meeting place where you can become familiar with the research at the faculty, and join conversations across different departments.

Main content
In the event series Academic Morning Coffee, we highlight one of the researchers at the Faculty of Social Sciences each week, who presents their work in conversation with the dean and the audience. Throughout the semester we will touch on various themes and problems, so there's a lot to look forward to!
We're serving coffee and tea at all the events, so plan for an early morning visit to the Social Sciences Building (outside the infocentre) on Wednesdays 09:00am, and learn about the exciting research in social sciences being done in Bergen!
