Norway Life Science 2024: Unlocking the Potential of Health Data kicks off 13 -14 February. Carl Henrik Gørbitz, Director UiO:Life Science, promises an exciting programme with the leading experts in health data from home and abroad. Minister of Trade and Industry, Jan Christian Vestre will also participate.
The internationally recognised Norwegian geochemist, Victor Moritz Goldschmidt ("Father of modern geochemistry", 1888-1947), was based at the Geological Institute and the Mineralogical-Geological Museum (merged into NHM in 2000) at the University of Oslo.
The Nordic SPARK programmes attended NLS Days in Copenhagen. This year there were 30 projects and alumni from Denmark, Finland and Norway participating.
The Growth House at University of Oslo is managing a new collaborative project which will strengthen the student innovation culture in the Oslo region.

The prize 'Else-Ragnhild Neumann Award for Women in Geosciences' is awarded awarded to women who have made significant contributions to the field of geosciences. This year it goes to Sofia Kjellman from University of Tromsø.
The third Arctic Ocean Dynamics workshop gathered oceanographers from around the world on November 9-10 at Oslo Science Park. The event was devoted to research on understanding the changes in the Artic Ocean, and was hosted by the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo.
Norway Life Science 2024 gathers leading actors in health and life science, to find the solutions that will allow Norway to get more in return from the large investments in health research.
X-ray diffraction is extremely powerful to study the structure of well-ordered, crystalline materials. In this paper, researchers from the Catalysis Section, NAFUMA, the Swiss Norwegian Beamlines, and Haldor Topsoe A/S take it one step further, by developing models for advanced diffraction studies of a disordered material, namely the beta zeolite. Despite the tremendous structural complexity caused by the disorder, these new models make it possible to resolve the degree of deactivation of the zeolite catalyst from a single diffractogram.
The second seminar on CO2 storage in basalt took place at UiO 29th of November 2023.
The 2023 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award from the European Geosciences Union is awarded to Herman Fæhn Fuglestvedt for the poster/PICO entitled: Arctic Polar Vortex Controls Aerosol Evolution After High-Latitude Volcanic Eruptions.
Four new projects have completed UiO:Life Science's innovation programme in health-related life science, SPARK Norway. One of them won the Vaccibody Innovation Award 2023.
Noëlle Streeton at the Faculty of Humanities and Victor Greiff at the Faculty of Medicine have received ERC Consolidator Grants from the European Research Council.
The lecture: "No Seal, no Deal – Evaluating seal quality of CO2 storage sites, offshore Norway", was helt by Md Nazmul Haque Mondol, Professor at Dept of Geosciences, on the 18. October 2023. The recorded GeoWednesday lecture is now available and can be seen on YouTube.
This summer 48 students have gained work experience from a research project with a scholarship from UiO:Life Science. The closure of this year's summer projects was celebrated with presentations, poster exhibition and prize ceremony.
Join the EMERALD Open Science Day on 17 October! On this full day seminar we will gather Norwegian communities working within the field of ‘ecological climatology’. Welcome to Klimahuset at Tøyen for a programme full of EMERALD science!
– It's a great day to be Rector, said Svein Stølen when the new research centre, the Centre for Planetary Habitability was officially opened 20th of September. At the event the centre directors,Trond H. Torsvik and Stephanie C. Werner, received the plaque stating that the centre is a Norwegian Centre of Excellence.
The SPARK Nordic programmes participated together for the first time at Nordic Innovation Fair in Copenhagen 25-26 September.
In-situ TEM experiments shows that the tendency for elemental mixing- or segregation to occur in Pt–Rh nanoparticles depends on the nanoparticle size and temperature. The smaller nanoparticles (≲13 nm) are stable in the solid solution configuration over the entire studied temperature range. Larger nanoparticles (≳13 nm) tends to segregate when cooled to room temperature. The results are of importance to understand the thermodynamics of this specific Pt–Rh nanoparticle system and it add value towards applications like catalysis, whereof e.g. supported Pt–Rh nanoparticles are attractive candidates for NH3 slip abatement processes.
There was a celebration when two of the researchers here at the Department of Geosciences each received their ERC Starting Grant. The two who received funding are Norbert Pirk and Paul Yves Jean Antonio. They were celebrated with an reception with cake and speeches from colleagues, on Friday 8 of September.
Are you a master's student and want to pursue a career in innovation and entrepreneurship? Now you can apply for admisson to the newly established honours certificate in Life Science Innovation. The application deadline is 15 October. Start-up will be January 2024.
Five promising researchers at the University of Oslo have been awarded ERC Starting Grants from the European Research Council. The projects showcase the breadth of UiO's disciplines, ranging from sustainability and marginalization to plasma accelerators and sleep.
Are you a scientist working on health-related topics in the life science domain? Do you have an idea for a new solution or technology with innovation potential, but need help to take the next steps? Apply for UiO:Life Science’s two-year innovation programme SPARK Norway. The deadline was 9 November 2023.
Elizabeth Surgucheva, a freshly graduated bachelor in biosciences, spent the summer at our lab putting theory into practice while participating in one of our research projects.
