Globale utfordringer som formet Universitetet i Bergen
Hvordan ble Universitet i Bergen formet av globle samfunnsutfordringer, og hvordan bidro det til å løse dem?
Hovedinnhold
Gjennom korte presentasjoner av en rekke aktiviteter og samtaler om samarbeid over mange år, vil vi gi eksempler på UiBs bidrag til å løse noen av de samfunnsutfordringene verden har stått overfor. Vi vil presentere viktige globale prosjekter, tverrfaglig samarbeid og tematiske fokusområder forskere ved UiB har jobbet med, og reflektere over betydningen disse har hatt for universitetets profil.
Arrangementet vil holdes på engelsk
We highlight examples of UiB’s contributions to some of these challenges, through brief presentations of many projects, and reflect on the significance of these for the University's profile.
We present large global projects, interdisciplinary collaboration and thematic focuses we have worked on at UiB.
