The Head of Department

Although 2016 was a year with considerable changes in the departmental leadership, departmental develop-ment moved according to plan in year four of IBV. The merger in 2013 was no revolution, but rather a step in evolution, making biosciences at University of Oslo a strong and integrated field. Year one was spent on reorganization, year two on our strategy and year three on a recruitment and investment plan. Although some necessary, and very good, recruitments have been done all along, 2016 was thus the year the new faculty recruitment plan was put into action. I will get back to that later.

For me personally, 2016 was a year of big change. I started the year as head of department. However, in February I was offered the position as director of the strategic research area, UiO:Life Science. There was a need for this position to be filled ASAP and on February 16th, one day after I started and one week after I was offered the position I was already on stage in the University Aula downtown giving closing remarks at the first Oslo Life Science conference. Until September 1st I juggled both positions, but from then until the end of the year Stein Kaartvedt served as department head. As it is May 11th 2017 when I am writing this (and snow-ing outside!), Rein Aasland has moved to Oslo from Bergen and assumed the position as department head already more than four months ago.

I would like to share a few memories, which stand out for me in 2016. I will remember this year as the first year Norway participated in the International Biology Olympiad (IBO). In April IBV hosted a group of 16 very

clever and very interested high school biology students for one week. A number of faculty members were involved in teaching, problem solving and social activities with this group, which had been selected out of a field of nearly 600 students in two rounds of national biology competitions organized by IBV. This was all organized by Ph.D. student Vilde Olsson with help and support from Tone and Gunvor at the school laboratory. At the end of the week, the four best-of-the-best were selected. After a couple of days lab training in the summer the four-member team left for Hanoi, Vietnam, joined by Anne Brysting, Vilde and myself, who were going as jurors. The experience in Vietnam was fascinating. Nearly two hundred jurors working in parallel on exam question until the early morning. Dis-agreements about how difficult a question should be, and sometimes about what was the correct answer, had to be reconciled so exams could be printed and hustled over to the students just in time. When the students had exams we had the time off to see sites in and around Hanoi, always moving in a five bus motor-cade with police escort and all other traffic stopped so we could drive through every red light in the city. Vietnam was a beautiful country with very friendly people, but the competition was fierce. Norway received no medals, but two of our students received «honorable mention».

Another student activity that has grown stronger every year is the iGEM team. The 2016 team, URINE-TROUBLE, produced a prototype assay system for β-lactamase; 3D printing of a chassis that hooks up to a smart-phone and an app, which makes the phone

6

into a spectrophotometer. Combined with chemical and biological (also made by the team) reagents their proof-of-principle for fast and reliable detection of β-lactam-resistant bacteria received a gold medal in the international competition in Boston. They have now taken the idea further and are in the finals for a one million NOK student innovation grant from the Research Council of Norway.

Staying on the theme of education, IBV had a two-day seminar to spur the evolution of our new bachelor program, which is starting up in the fall of 2017. Professor Richard Pritchard, University of Birmingham and Øyvind Fiksen, BioCEED, University of Bergen were engaged as keynote speakers and we also had important contributions from local forces within and outside the IBV. I found it extremely useful and very motivating to spend two days with colleagues discussing our education program; what and how we should teach in individual courses, generic skills and other components of an integrated modern education in biology. Easily the greatest innovation in our new bach-elors program is the integration of Computing in Science Education. «CSE@IBV», where first-semester students will learn programming with python is a big step forward and forges a stronger link between education and research. These new skills will be very handy for students later on no matter what career path they will choose.

As I handed off the baton to Stein we were in the middle of the hiring process for two new faculty members. However, I was fortunate to remain involved and I am both proud and happy to welcome Sanne Boessenkool and Cinzia Progida to IBV. Together with Melinka Butenko, hired in December

of 2015, they fill the first three positions of the recruitment plan. The last two positions of stage 1 in the recruitment plan were advertised shortly after Stein took office and Rein will now ensure that the process for filling these is moving along.

IBV is not only a place for excellence in research and education. It is embedded in our strategic plan that the department shall be a good place to work or study, and social activities play an important role. The summer party of 2016 reached a new and higher level. The pool party, including diving and limbo competition, was a big success thanks to Ben and other staff in the animal facility. The Christmas party featured the usual awards, year-in-review speeches, general merriment and anticipation for the new department head. Having served as head of a department in Kristine Bonnevie’s House for nearly eight years I enjoyed sitting back and observing that everything was moving along just fine.

In the following pages you will find more information about research highlight from the five sections, about education and other activities. Enjoy!

Best wishes,

Finn-Eirik JohansenHead of Department IBV 1.1.2013-31.8.2016 (and still kicking)

Address from new Head of Department

On January 2nd this year, I flew from Bergen to Oslo on my first day on the job as Head of the Department. A bit emotional, I must admit, leaving University of Bergen, my Alma mater since 39 years, and nearly 25 years of employment. Starting at IBV has been like climbing on an express train in full speed; learning to know the Department and the Faculty while grabbing the helm.

I’m deeply impressed by the Department, not just by its daunting size, but more by its wide range of activities within the biosciences, and most importantly, by its many top-level qualities, both among staff and students, projects and facilities, evident for example, by its high success rates in competition for external grants. IBV is a powerhouse for modern biology.

Four years after the formation of IBV, its origins are still tangible, and I’m seing precious traditions and proud history. But I also see a Department with vigourous youth and fresh ideas. The new bachelor program soon ready for launch is innovative and at the international forefront. By building a common and broad platform for all our students with a solid base in mathematics, modelling, and programming, I expect to see new generations of candidates exceptionally well prepared for modern biology and also for UiOs investments in the life sciences.

As far as I can judge, the Department is in a very good position to continue delivering excellent science, education, and innovation; we have competent staff, modern facilities and healthy finances. I take this opportunity to credit my predecessor, professor Finn-Eirik Johansen for his excellent leadership of the Department. Credits also to professor Johansen and professor Trond Schumacher, who led the two depart-ments which were merged to form IBV, and to professor Stein Kaartvedt for leading the IBV in last autumn’s interim period.

Yet, there is no room for complacency. There are challenges ahead, but also lots of opportunities. Hence, we have to continue the developent of the Department, our science, our educational programmes, and our precious infrastructures to keep and advance our position. I’m honoured and proud to have been trusted the task to lead IBV in the next four-year period.

popular and important teaching program in human toxicology will be offered also in the years to come.

Breakthroughs The researchers of the section published in total 43 papers in international, peer-reviewed journals in 2016. A few examples are highlighted below.

An increased concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), often labelled «browning», is a current trend in northern freshwaters. Over the last century, climate and land use change have

also caused an increasing trend in vegetation cover («greening»), and this terrestrially fixed carbon represents another potential source for export of organic carbon to lakes and rivers. Researchers at Aqua have contributed in unveil-ing the major drivers behind this increase in organic carbon to lakes and coastal waters.

Environmental contaminants such as perfluo-roalkyl substances (PFASs) can be transferred from mother to offspring through the placenta and mother’s milk, exposing the young mam-mal before and after birth. PFASs are a family of human-made chemicals, which are used in a number of consumer products such as tex-tiles, carpets, paper plates and food packaging because they repel grease, water and stain and are heat resistant. Hooded seals are particularly vulnerable to PFASs exposure as marine pred-ators – the concentration of persistent contam-inants increases with each level on the food web. Hooded seal milk is extremely energy rich, with 60–70 % lipids, and PFASs are amphiphilic, which means they tend to bind to proteins and lipids. PFASs were found in both the plasma and milk of all tested seal mothers and pups. While the concentrations were within the range of levels tested in other seal species, and lower than toxicity thresholds for rodents, the devel-opmental effects are still not fully understood

Research and teaching in the section focus on freshwater and marine ecosystems, with the toxicology group also addressing terrestrial organisms and human toxicology. AQUA aims at gaining new insight by merging knowledge and research traditions from marine, limnetic and toxicological sub-disciplines. The research is carried out locally, regionally and globally and comprises taxonomy, ecology, behaviour, toxicology and interactions through food webs and host-pathogen interactions. Scientist at AQUA address processes from the molecular and cel-lular level to populations and ecosystems and how organisms and ecosystems are affected by ambient factors. This includes effects of anthropogenic impacts of pollution and climate change.

in wildlife. Developmental effects of PFASs are associated with reduced birth weight, and the hooded seal is dependent on an intense weight gain for the 3–4 days of nursing in order to survive a long fasting period that follows. This, coupled with the fact that young mammals are more susceptible to toxic effects than adults, could prove detrimental to this species.

Current and previous aqua-researchers were a few years ago central in establishing a new world estimate on the abundance of mesope-lagic fish. In 2016 this work was followed up with a publication establishing the global patterns of diel vertical migration. The study unveils differences between oceans but con-cludes that on average 50 % of the worlds’ biomass of mesopelagic fish migrates vertically from several hundred meters depth to upper layers on a daily basis.

Central projects «EPHEMARE» is a JPI-Oceans EU-project on

micro plastics. Researchers at AQUA conduct experiments on the potential incorporation of micro plastics in sediment-living organisms as well as carrying out field studies.

«Micropolar» (Norwegian Research Council) addresses protists and viruses in the polar ocean. The project represents national and international cooperation, with the group at AQUA specially focusing on protist diversity and how viruses may affect the diversity of algae.

LUMS – «Life history under multiple stressors» addresses the interaction between life history traits and multiple stressors, including toxi-cants, both in marine and freshwater environ-ments. The research questions are addressed through several PhD projects, both from an ecological and ecotoxicological point of view. The project is funded by UiO.

The project POLAR ECOTOX (Contaminants in Antarctic and Arctic avian wildlife – Climatic and ecological drivers, comparative polar perspective and effects) is funded by the Norwegian Research Council and the Ministry of climate and environment. Temporal trends of contaminants will be analysed in archived blood samples of Antarctic king penguins and interpreted in light of climate parameters, food web indicators and population parameters. The bipolar occurrence of contaminants and their effect on DNA damage are compared in ecologi-cal and physiological comparable species. The project cooperates nationally and internationally.

One interesting aspect of environmental con-taminants is the interaction with life history traits. The project GeesePOP addresses the Bar-nacle goose and the effect of reproductive strat-egy and migration route from wintering areas to breeding sites in the Arctic, and how this affects maternal transfer of energy and contam-inants to the offspring. This study is funded by the RCN Arctic field grant, Svalbard Miljøfond and the Fram Centre Flaggskip).

The collaboration between the aquatic environ-ments on campus (AQUA and NIVA) has been strengthened with a PhD project on coastal zone and effect of terrestrial dissolved organic matter on contaminant dynamics in coastal ecosystems. This will also be the focus of the collaboration on the NIVA-lead RCN project Terrace, starting in 2017. The PhD project is further strengthened by strategic funds from NIVA through the project DOMCON 2.

The NRC-funded project ECCO (Effects of climate change on boreal lake ecosystems: Productivity and community responses) was concluded in 2016. The project has addressed how climate change affects terrestrial systems and lakes, and how especially the flux of colored organic matter and associated nutrients change pro-ductivity and food web responses in lakes.

Research

Aqua researchers are involved in a number of projects being led by other institutions and which are not highlighted here. However, to show some of the themes, these include: «MAC-ROSEA: A knowledge platform for industrial macroalgae cultivation», «Kelp export: fuel for adjacent communities in changing arctic eco-systems?» «Norway’s hidden marine biodiver-sity: The hunt for cryptic species within the coralline algae», «Environmental responses to organic and inorganic effluents from fin-fish aquaculture».

Visions AQUA will continue working for increased coop-eration within the section and the department. We will highlight the potential of merging scientists with research traditions from the marine and lim-netic sub-disciplines and expand research at the interface between ecology and toxicology. This aim has been underlined in the search or a new professor that will be hired in the coming year. AQUA has a program for developing increased cooperation with NIVA (Norwegian Institute for Water Research), which is localized at the Univer-sity campus area. By this, we aim at creating research groups above critical sizes, and broaden the competence both scientifically and related to teaching. We have challenges related to marine infrastructure, and continue to work for imple-mentation of plans for developments of the marine biological station. Efforts to get a replacement for the research vessel «Trygve Braarud» are currently being intensifies, and one vision is to get the worlds’ first electrically powered research vessel operating in the Oslofjord.

The Section for Genetics and Evolutionary Biology (EVOGENE) is a research and learning environment based on a broad range of biological disciplines that merge in the perception of genetics and evolutionary thinking as a basis for their endeavor. The organism as a whole is a central component in our research and teaching efforts. We focus on the relationship between phenotype and genotype – in populations and a broad ecological setting – or in mechanistic nano-biology relations in developmental biology and microbiology. In the merger of classical and molecular genetics with epigenetics and evolution, the research activities in the section are cross diciplinary in their nature and represent state of the art in contemporary biology. The section hosts the Centre for Epigenetics, Development and Evolution (CEDE) and EVOGENE is also a central component in prioritized inter diciplinary research activities at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, CIME and CELS.

In addition Evogene works continue to good work on international researchers. The section has gotten five young research talents and continuously works to make the section an attractive place to work. Many of our researchers are also improving the contact with the industry and in innovations. In relation to this the section was given to PhDs in Innovations from the faculty and their work will be of impor-tance regarding this.

EVOGENEs research spans from the origin of multicellularity, investigating symbiosis, to the function of regulatory RNA. Species that has been studied ranges from marine sponges (Foraminifera) to bacteria.

Malmstrøm et al. (Nature Genet. 2016) com-bined evolutionary theory and modelling with the characterization of immune genes in fishes based on modern sequencing technology. Unit-ing these fields facilitated viewing the evolution of the immune system in fishes in a larger context, revealing that immune genes have influenced the speciation rate. The study was highlighted in Nature Genetics with a commen-tary by Prof. Peter Parham, a renowned immun-ologist at Stanford University.

is linked to dense populations of deer. They further showed, however, that the increase in disease incidence cannot fully be explained by the trajectories of the deer population sizes over time.

Theoretical evolutionary modelling: The dom-inating view of evolution based on the fossil record is that established species remain more or less unaltered during their existence. This is challenged by Voje (Evolution 2016) who ana-lyzed 450 lineages in the fossil record: Substan-tial evolution happens within lineages and is not limited to the process of speciation. Nature selected Voje’s research as a Research Highlight.

Combining statistical analyses of historical data with modeling, Kvile et al. (PNAS 2016) draw the attention to indirect climate effects on zoo-plankton (animals at the base of marine food-webs): Changes in wind and water column stability can influence food (phytoplankton) availability, and thereby the biomass of a key zooplankton species in the Barents Sea. This

underscores the importance of looking «beyond temperature» in order to understand effects of climate change in marine ecosystems.

Selected national/international projects awarded. Dr. Kjetil L. Voje was awarded a Young Research Talent: where he aims at deciphering the evolutionary rates across time by bridging micro- and macroevolution. Another young researcher, Dr. Øistein Holen, aiming at elucidating the evolution of defence systems, got his project funded competing with senior scientist in the FRIMEDBIO-programme. A TOPP FORSK-project, awarded to Prof. Kjetill S. Jakobsen: with the goal to define the evolu-tionary and functional importance of simple repeats in the genome.

Research

Visions Statement from the Chair Norwegian national Centres of Excellence (CoE) are established for a period of 10 years. CEES is celebrating its 10-year anniversary as a CoE this year, and this also means that CEES will no longer be a Centre of Excellence funded by the Research Council of Norway as of the 1st of October, 2017. However, CEES will continue to exist. On March 9th, 2017, the Board of the Department of Biosciences decided that CEES should continue as a Centre and as an official unit at IBV for another 5 years.

On March 13th, 2017, the CEES Board expressed great pleasure in this decision. The CEES Board also discussed the evaluation from the CEES Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), and made the following statement: «The Board fully supports the SAB’s informative and extremely positive evaluation of CEES as a key player internationally in the life sciences, and believes an extension of these activ-ities, and the working environment, to be

extremely important. The Board therefore fully supports the resolution proposed in the thorough report of the Working Group for the phasing in of Centre of Excellence CEES at the Biosciences Department. […] The Board would also like to point out that good local administrative support will be essential for efficient continued operation.» In other words, the CEES Board is dedicated to securing the further existence of CEES in more or less its present form. On May 26th and 27th, 2017, the CEES SAB had a specially convened meeting with the aim of mak-ing recommendations as to how to best continue CEES. Our Centre is getting more and more recognised internationally; CEES has become a trademark. I will personally, together with our many allies, do whatever I can to develop a good future for CEES and its staff and I am indeed very optimistic in that respect.

Important events Conference: Cells on the move. At the intersec-

tion of intracellular transport and cell migration (9–10th June): In June, 2016, Cinzia Progida and her group organized the workshop «Cells on the move: At the intersection of intracellular transport and cell migration». The meeting brought together some of the most renowned experts in fields of intracellular membrane traffic and cell migration. Topics covered

included cytoskeleton functions and dynamics, intracellular transport, signalling regulating cell motility, and cell migration in an interdis-ciplinary perspective with a special focus on cutting-edge imaging technologies. The confer-ence gathered more than 100 participants from disciplines spanning physics, biology, chemis-try, pharmacy, dentistry and medicine, all united by a common interest in understanding how cellular processes are regulated in space and time.

Hans Ekkehard Plesser from NMBU has taken his sabatticle at FYSCELL and CINPLA 2016/2017.

FYSCELL got 2 RCN FRIPRO grants: Toppforsk (BrainMatrix) with Marianne Fyhn and Young Talents with Sjannie Lefevre.

Toppforsk grant in collaboration with NMBU: Parasites and host behaviour: Co-evolution from genotype to phenotype.

The Section for Physiology and Cell Biology is a research and learning environment which focuses on the way in which living animals, including humans, function, and how living organ-isms adapt to their environment on a molecular, cellular, organic and individual level. The Section consists of 7 groups and two initiatives: Modiprot and CINPLA (Centre for integrative neuroplasticity). The latter is one of the prioritized interdisciplinary research activities at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The section is also involved in the Centre for Immune Regulation.

Advanced microscopy and imaging techniques are pivotal to many of the research projects and a core facility on sub-cellular imaging (NorMic) is located in the section. With the reform of infrastructure the animal facility and the NorMic imaging Platform will also be organized under the section.

The 2016 annual meeting of the Scandinavian Physiological society (aug 26–28th, Oslo) was arranged at the Blindern campus by FYSCELL faculty in the organizing committee together with members from the Medical Faculty. The meeting had 230 participants this year, an increase from 150 at last years meeting in Aarhus. FYSCELL Master student Malin B. Bøe’s poster was given Best Poster award among the more than 67 posters at the meeting.

Professor Olav Sand retired during fall 2016.

Strong initiative from FYSCELL in the teaching reform InterAct. PhDs from CINPLA are writing the first book for computing in biology educa-tion that will be used for the first time in 2017.

CINPLA was present at the Society for Neuro-science annual meeting in November (San Diego). CINPLA was represented with 11 posters.

Breakthroughs Non-invasive micromanipulation with

optical tweezers in zebrafish embryos:

In a recent Nature Communication article, the Griffiths group demonstrate how to effectively manipulate the microenvironment of cells in vivo (Johansen et al. Nature Comm. 2016). Using optical tweezers, they micromanipulate and trap cells, nanoparticles and bacteria in zebra-fish embryos. This novel and non-invasive micromanipulation technique is a promising development with a potential diagnostic and therapeutic application value, e.g. in cancer and infection biology.

Hyperthrophy is depending on satellite cells

The large size of muscle fibers is supported by multiple nuclei, and satellite stem cells are believed to be the origin of new myonuclei dur-ing hypertrophic growth. However, recently it was suggested that hyperthrophy can occur in the absence of satellite cells. The Gundersen

group dispute these findings in their latest article in Development (Egner et al. 2016). Their replication experiment with a highly specific satellite cell ablation technique, show a satellite cell-dependence for hyperthrophy.

Rab proteins are directing the transport from late endosomes to the trans-Golgi Network.

The Bakke group recently published a paper where they corrected an established «fact» in all textbooks that Rab9 is the Rab protein directing transport from late endosomes to the trans-Golgi Network (TGN). They redefined the intracellular transport route regulated by Rab9 that is in the opposite direction. In addition, they contribute to solve the controversial debate concerning the point at which mannose-6-phos-phate receptor enters the endosomal pathway from the TGN. The new findings contribute to expand the knowledge regarding the transport between endosomes and TGN, a pathway not fully characterized yet.

Fish embryos are usefull model animals for studying the effect of nanoparticles and new methods for drug delivery.

Juvenile level of brain plasticity by removing the extracellular matrix structure in the visual cortex of rats

Perineuronal nets (PNNs) enwrap key neuronal cell types in the brain. In a recent publication with Kristian K. Lensjø as first author, the Fyhn group shows how the removal of this extra-cellular matrix structure in the visual cortex of adult rats, reopens juvenile levels of brain plasticity. By use of chronic electrophysiologi-cal recordings, the changes in the activity of the neurons is monitored during the course of experimentally induced plasticity. The findings point to specific changes in the inhibitory/excit-atory balance during plasticity and that specific brain oscillations may be responsible for driv-ing the changes seen during plasticity.

Being a student at the Department of BiosciencesThe department has a study section consisting of five people working on all student related ques-tions. They deal with everything from reqruiting, to applications, exchange students, evaluations and to make sure that the students are satisfied. In order to achieve this the study section arranges a Program Seminar at Sundvollen hotel for all first year bachelor students. The Program seminar lasts for two days and aims at getting the students to know the staff and professors – and each other.

The student administration also arranges a master ceremony twice a year for all the master students who graudated.

For the first time the department also arranged an alumni meeting the 2nd of November for all former students.

InterAct InterAct is a program initiated by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The aim of this program is to improve and develop the quality of the education. InterAct consists of three main components: the learning environment, the work-ing culture amongst employees, and development of educational quality. It is well documented that the learning environment has crucial impact on what and how much the students learn and that some of the traditional teaching methods, such as lectures, are not particularly effective. Develop-ment of a student active learning environment is therefore an important part of the InterAct project. The InterAct projects goal is to increase the status for teaching, but also to develop a professional nettwork around the subjects that are taught. One of the changes to achieve this is to move the responsibility of the courses from the individual to a larger group of teachers within the field.

A more comprehensive revision of all the bachelor and master programs has been InterActs’s most important arena for the educational quality development. This revision, which is the first since Kvalitetsreformen 14 years ago, is intended to be more crossdisciplinary, flexible and give the students a larger freedom of choice than the exist-ing programs. The new bachelor programs are starting in August 2017, while the masters pro-grams are staring up the year after that.

The revision of the study program and courses has been more demanding at the Department of Bio-sciences than at the other departments, partly because of the fusion of the two departments in 2012. This process is now completed with the fusion of the departments’ two study programs which will create a common platform of bio-sciences for all our students throughout the first three semesters, followed by specialization in the fourth and fifth semester. The sixth, and the last, semester of the bachelor program is, in line with the ideas of the InterAct project’s intentions, open in order to give the students more flexibility to choose exchange, specialization or seek new perspectives from other fields.

The natural sciences platform that the students get in the beginning of their education is covering the whole range of biology – from biochemistry and cell biology, to evolution and biodiversity, as well as necessary base sciences such as chemistry, physics, statistics, and informatics. The most inno-vative change, in comparison to other biology educations, is perhaps that programming and mod-elling that will be introduced already in the first semester, and will be integrated in most of the fol-lowing subjects throughout the bachelor program.

This initiative will gain from the fact that the Uni-versity of Oslo was recently awarded a Centre of Excellence in Education, whose main purpose is to develop methods for using modelling and program-ming in Science Education.

The development of the new degrees, both at the bachelor and master levels, at the department has been coordinated by a Program Revision Commit-tee. The Program Revision Committee consisted of representatives from all the sections, as well as students, student administration and representa-tives from cooperating departments (in particular the Department of Chemistry and the Natural His-tory Museum). Throughout the process the differ-ent sections have had their own meetings to discuss both the structure of the new program and its learning outcomes. The feedback from all the sections has been merged and presented in an open meeting for discussing the structure of the study program and defining the overall learning out-comes.

The most important of these meetings during the InterAct process in 2016 was the gathering where all lecturers at the department were invited to a two-day seminar at Sundvollen in the beginning of June. Here we discussed how we should inte-grate programming and modelling throughout the bachelor degree, how we can use student active learning techniques, how we can coordinate the new courses to avoid overlap and gaps, and how we can reinforce important skills in order to achieve deep learning of the most central learning outcomes.

The National Graduate School in Infection Biology and AntimicrobialsThe National Graduate School in Infection Biology and Antimicrobials (IBA) is a forskerskole funded by the Research Counsel of Norway, coordinated at the University of Oslo. We hold courses and workshops in infectious disease and infection biol-ogy, held across our Partner Institutions, and we will connect the research environments of infec-tious disease and infection biology throughout the country via our network.

The aim of the program (running from fall 2016 – 2021, with a possible extension through 2024) is to strengthen the national recruitment base and quality for promoting research on infectious dis-eases and other risks to health. A particularly important objective is to strengthen domestic and international networking in the subject area. Both

PhD students and postdocs registered at Norwe-gian universities are welcome to participate in IBA.

The program funds courses and workshops focused on basic and clinical research as well as on differ-ent technical aspects. We also have annual networking meetings. The program supports participation in these activities by co-funding of travel and accommodation costs. No mandatory activities are included in membership.

The IBA Kick-Off meeting was held November 14th–15th here in Oslo, it was a great success with more than 80 participants. Plenary speakers included Joakim Larsson, who spoke about «The Environmental Dimensions of Antibiotic Resist-ance». For future courses and meetings, please see our web page http://www.ibaschool.no/

PhD students

There were 133 PhD students at the Department of Biosciences and 17 candidates defended their thesis in 2016. In 2016 the department got the first national graduate school (forskerskole) IBA.

Communication adviserFrom 3.01.2016 Elina Melteig was emplpyed as a communications adviser in a fulltime position. She manages the web pages, writes popular scientific articles, sends out press releases, is responsible for events, and helds workshops. She also functions as a social media manager and a press contact. During 2016 Elina also contributed to the dissem-ination part in three RCN applications.

Social mediaStatus of 31.st of December 2016:

Facebook: 803 page likes/followers, Max reach 4100 (with 353 post clicks)

Twitter: followers 407, number of tweets (total) 250

Traditional media51 mentions of the Department of biosceinces in international media during 2016. This number is quite probably not correct, but at least it gives an indication of how often the department is ment-ioned. The media surveillance service O-point has given these results for «Department of biosciences» +«University of Oslo». Anything not matching both of these search words will not appear. This is why the actual number is highly likely larger.

996 mentions of the department and/or our scientists in the Noirwegian media from 1.1.2016 to 31.12.2016. This number represents a threefold increase in mentions in comparison with the year before. This number is given by a search that includes the names of all employees and the name of the department. Because of changes made in the search system and because this is the first year

that has been monitored from start to end it is hard to have an exact comparison from the year before.During fall 2016 press releases written by PhDs at the end of their theses was sent out. This may have increased the number.

Titan.uio.noThe faculty has started their own popular scientific web page in order to obtain more out reach. The page was started 1.12.2015. Part of the respoinsi-bility for the Communications adviser is to write popular scientific articles and find blog posts for the IBV blog at Titan.

In 2016 there were 31 new articles (4 articles in 2015) during 2016.

Events and initiativs for recruiting students Åpen dag (March) and Ungforsk (involving 3000 pupils) and Faglig Pedagogisk Dag (November).

Outreach events where IBV participatesThe Science Fair (Forskningstorget) with the Plague group from CEES, Lifescience in the lunch (several lunch events), Communications event at Litter-aturhuset during Forskningsdagene, Faglig Peda-gogisk dag, BIO-Thursdays (arranged by the Research Centre for Biology Education) and Dar-win Day and the Kristine Bonnevie lectures on evolutionary biology (arranged by CEES).

Alumni For the first time IBV arranges an alumni event for former students. About 70 persons showed up. The only program was some information about the changes at IBV such as the new bachelor program. The Alumni party was held the same day as Faglig Pedagogisk dag, that is 2nd of November.

During 2016 none of the posts in social media were sponsored. The activity varies a great deal, and it is clear from the graphs that autumn, in particular, is an active period. It is also obvious from the lower figure that the number of followers is steadily rising, with some events triggering extra growth such as new students in August/September and the winners of the iGEM-competition and the Alumni-event in November.

Promotion Movie Because of the new bachelor programs the faculty decided to make a promotion movie for each of the new bachelor programs. The movie at IBV was filmed mainly during one day, casting Marianne Fyhn, Are Hauk Fjell (student) and some of the PhD students at Mariannes group: Simen Tennøe, Svenn-Arne Dragly, and Andreas Solbrå.

Workshops for employees Personal profile workshop (web) Presentation technique (for PhDs and Post docs) Web-seminar with AQUA

Media and recruitment strategy for the biology olympiadAll the local papers were contacted, and most of them wrote of their excellent biology students. The biology Olympiad got more than 16 mentions in different media throughout the Olympiad week. Two of the students also wrote a «travel letter» that was published after the international biology Olympiad.

The faculty arranged a «recruitment night» con-sisting of a nice dinner and some information about our studies and carreer opportunities and what research is going on at the department. The aim of this evening was to tempt the student to start studying at the department.

iGEM team won a gold medalThe international genetically engineered machine (iGEM) was held for the third time at the depart-ment. The team consisted of 7 students, and three of them were from the Department of Biosciences. In total, including the news about the gold medal, they got 15 articles and mentions in different media.

Web pagesSome changes to the web pages has occurred dur-ing 2016 such as the issue of new for employees pages, marking all EU projects with EU flags, mark-ing international projects for Global UiO, a broken link-workshop, and a clean up in the employee section of the web pages.

During fall 2016 AQUA started a project to improve their web pages and the work is expected to finish in January 2017. The same initiative has been taken to improve the BMB web pages. The long term goal is to do the same for all sections.

In total there are about 8000 web pages at the Department of biosciences. Many of these are out of date or irrelevant. In addition there are many pages that are not directly linked to their equiva-lent English page.

The School Laboratory

The School Laboratory is a resource centre for biol-ogy education and act as a link between upper secondary school and higher education. We offer teacher training courses, school visits for students, develop practical teaching units for teachers and conduct general consulting in biological sciences. In addition we collaborate closely with professors and teaching assistants at BIO1000 and MBV1010, the beginner’s courses in biology, to ensure a func-tional transition from upper secondary school to higher education for undergraduate students.

Outreach

In addition to teacher training courses we also offer a continuing education and training programme for teachers in natural sciences. In collaboration with the school laboratory of physics, and chemistry we have designed and developed a 30-study point course (NAT2010V and NAT2020V) in natural science for teachers teaching 8th–11th grade. Biology is part of the course «Organic chemistry and biology» (NAT 2020V) given in the spring and includes both laboratory and field work. 24 teachers attended the course and everyone passed the exam in June.

School visitsOne of our main role as a resource centre is to offer different educational units for students. The units are adjusted to the curricula in natural sciences and biology in upper secondary school; however particular interested 10th graders are welcome under certain circumstances. In 2016 we had an all-time high number of students visiting the school lab. Figure 1 shows the enormous increase in students visiting the school lab from 2014 to 2016. The students are mainly from Oslo and

Akershus (Figure 2) however we also receive visits from Østfold (St. Olavs Vgs), Vestfold (Horten and Sandefjord Vgs), Oppland (Gjøvik Vgs), Hedemark (Jønsberg and Øvrebyen Vgs), Øst-Agder (Arendal Vgs) and Telemark (Rjukan Vgs). This shows that our offer is highly needed and we manage to cover most of eastern Norway.

The educational units we offer are transformation of E. coli, gene testing, and crime scene investiga-tion using either PCR or restriction enzyme anal-ysis. Other units are ELISA, photosynthesis and cell respiration.

All students that visit the school lab are also offered student information from biology students at IBV. This is collaboration with the school visit scheme at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

Oslo municipality and UiO collaboration, Hersleb VgsCollaboration between UiO and Hersleb vgs was initiated spring 2014 and are still running, however only biology students are now offered a free visit to the lab. These students counted 66 in 2016.

TeachingNAT 2000 is a course in science education held by the Department of Chemistry, developed for teacher students at the Department of Teacher Education and School Research (ILS). NAT 2000 is collaboration between the school laboratories in

chemistry, physics and biology, and gives the students a practical introduction to natural science at the 8th–11th grade level.

In collaboration with the school laboratory of chemistry we offer a continuing education course, NAT2020V in «Organic chemistry and biology» for teachers teaching 8th–11th grade. The course is given in the spring and gives 15-study points. In 2016 the course was arranged as two parallel groups con-taining 15 teachers in each group from all over the country.

The school lab has also contributed at the group teacher seminars given each semester at IBV.

Booklets and compendiumsWe (and previous employees at the school labora-tory) have developed different teaching booklets and compendiums that we made available for download in 2016. This is a popular offer and many teachers report back that these are highly valuable. New booklets in 2016 were «winter biology», a revised version of «field biology» and a step-by-step receipt for gel-electrophoresis.

Research pilots in biology educationIn both 2015 and 2016 we received «studie-kvalitetsmidler» from the Faculty in order to increase the quality of group teaching at BIO1000 and MBV1010. We aim to develop a culture for student active learning and have increased focus on supporting and supervise the teaching assis-tants. In this pilot we include lector students to guide and advise the teacher assistants in order to 1) increase the training and education of lectors in general and 2) get a more cognitive and conceptual approach in the group sessions. Preliminary results from (biology) student evaluations indicate that increased focus on involving students in their own education give increased motivation and learning in biology. Feedback from the teaching assistants also shows that adequate training and support result in more social constructivist teaching in the groups. The results from three semesters will be presented in 2017 at different conferences.

Dissemination of biological research – Bio-ThursdayIn collaboration with the science library we arrange Bio-Thursday last Thursday each month. Different scientists from the Department of Biosciences contribute with popular scientific talks. The talks are streamed live and are available for download. The scientists who contributed in 2016 were Professor Anne K. Brysting, Professor Katrine Borgå, Researcher Anders Nilsen, Professor Stein Kaartvedt, Professor Ketil Hylland, Professor Pål Falnes, Associate professor Tone Gregers and the 2016 iGem team. The Bio-Thursdays continues successfully in 2017.

NRK SkoleIn collaboration with NRK skole we made two teaching movies in cell respiration and photo-synthesis, respectively. Science education research has shown that these topics are conceptual difficult for students in both lower and upper secondary school. The movies can also be used to introduce the topics in undergraduate courses at IBV. The photosynthesis movie has been seen more than 7000 times on YouTube whereas cell respiration has been seen almost 6000 times since the launch in November. In addition NRK Skole has also several thousand views on their pages. Master student Silje Marie Kristiansen was hired to perform the illustrations in the movies.

Social mediaWe are both on Facebook, Instagram and twitter:

In summaryDuring 2016 the school lab has been involved in several projects both within teaching, dissemina-tion and research. Several students and teachers have attended various courses, and we truly believe that that the school lab is an established resource centre for biology teachers as well as our own researchers. We continue our work as a link between upper secondary school and higher edu-cation. We believe that we contribute to a great focus on UiO and IBV as an institution for excellent biology education.

For the first time in history, a biology Olympiad for students in high school was arranged in Norway during 2016. The inititative came from The head of Department Finn-Eirik Johansen and Tone Fredsvik Gregers from the The School Laboratory.

The PhD-student Vilde Olsson at the Department of biosciences at the University of Oslo was given the responsibility to arrange the Biology Olympiad in Norway.

The Norwegian part of the competiton consists of three rounds, where the two first will be held at the schools. The third round includes a week

of intensive biology training at the department before a final exam. The four best candidates will represent Norway in the international biology Olympiad. In 2016 the International biology Olym-piad was held in Hanoi, in Vietnam.

In the first round 575 pupils participated and 76 were qualified for round number 2.

For round number 2, 16 students were qualified for the Norwegian final round held at the department in medio Arpil. The four best students were representing Norway in Hanoi.

The following social gatherings were arrangend for employees at the Department of Biosciences during 2016.

3rd of February the administrations arranged a get together for all employees. Communication expert Dyveke Hamza to gave a speech about how we can build a better team, across cultural barriers and after the event food and drinks were served.

A seminar was arranged for the administration in Malaga in March. This lasted for four days and most of the administration was present for the whole time.

In April all employees were invited for an infor-mation meeting by Inven2. Following this meeting many chose to follow up the event with speed talks with Gerbrand Koster and Aina Rengmark at Inven2. The information meetings and the speed

talks were arranged in order to give researchers an idea of how Inven2 can help out with business ideas and start ups.

In May two teams from IBV participated in Holmen-kollstafetten. Participants were invited to a bar-beque in Finn-Eirik Johansens garden.

25th of August the Animal facility and the social committee arranged a summer party for all of our employees in the Animal facility. The theme was «Hawaii party» and consisted of food and drinks, a quiz, limbo competition, super-splash compe-tition, dancing and swimming in the out door pools.

The Christmas party was arranged by AQUA Friday the 9th of December in the IBV cantine. The Christ-mas party is open to both employees and master students.

Biologisk fagutvalg (BFU), the biological students committee for undergraduate and graduate students at the Department of Biosciences (IBV) consists of students who work voluntarily to create a good environment both socially and academically for everyone at IBV.

This year has been special for the students com-mittee, because it will be the last year with two separate student committees, one for biology and one for molecular biology. The launch of a new bachelors program, Bioscience, means that the two committees now will become one: Biovitenskapelig fagutvalg. Because of that, a lot of the focus has been concerned with working together and strengthening the bonds between us. The year started with the Buddy-week, which in spirit of the union of the student committees and the launch of the new bachelor program, was com-bined for both the biology- and the molecular bio-logy students. This week welcomes new students to our department and allows them to experience all of the activities available for them. Many students had volunteered and made the buddy -week a great success!

BFU has arranged many events during the year. Our weekly «Frokost hos Kristine» has been arranged with many participants, where we serve breakfast followed by an interesting lecture. A dialogue meeting called «Tverrologen» was arranged at RF-kjelleren, where people could participate in the dialogue on engaging topics with professors and other invited guests.

Other excursions like a mushroom-hike with pro-fessors, a biodiversity-mapping trip with SABIMA and a fossil-trip was also arranged by BFU this year, in addition to movie-nights, cabin-trips and exam-help days. At the end of the autumn semester there was also a «end of term»-party for all students at the department, which was held at the student bar «Escape». «Konglelogen» arranged a graduation party for the bachelor students at the end of the spring-term to celebrate the bachelor graduates.

As every year, BFU has put a lot of effort in work through student representatives in different boards and groups at the department.

BFU hopes that everyone at the department of Biosciences, students as well as employees, will attend the committee’s events and contribute to increase communication between students and researchers.

Social

The Student Committee for Molecular Biosciences is a body for students studying molecular biology, physiology and biological chemistry at an under graduate and graduate level. The primary goal of the Committee is to maintain a good social and academic environment for the students.

The Committee organizes several social events for the students, some once and others several times per semester. It is important to the members of the committee that these events are available for all the students. The Committee is selling lab coats to help fund events, and we also receive funds from the department and the faculty.

This years most engaging event were the Board Game nights. Here we provide board games, snacks and beverages, and on some occasions free pizza. It is a casual and fun way for student from the entire department to get to know each other and take a break from the daily grind.

In 2016 we had two cabin trips, one in the spring semester and one in the fall semester. Almost 50 people joined the Committee to a cabin in Nord-marka, outside Oslo. The trips consist of a good dinner, fun games and a lot of socializing among students across grades. It is a nice way to ensure that new (and old) students met new people. This year we also had the pleasure to invite all biology students along with us.

2016 was mostly used to start a new student society in preparation for the upcoming changes in programmes at the institute. Because of this we also had to cut some of our social events, since we had to spend a lot of time and energy to forge our current two student societies.

FuMBV has been represented in several boards at the institute. We also organized oracle lectures for all MBV-subjects. Here students had the oppor-tunity to ask their professor questions regarding the upcoming exams. FuMBV handed out the Golden laserpointer (Den gylne laserpeker) to Kristian Prydz. The students’ justified their choice with the following statement: «Kristian Prydz showed great engagement and knowledge in his course (MBV3010, advanced cell biology), in addi-tion to holding very interesting lectures and having good contact with his students.»

Infrastructure

The Department of biosciences has important research infrastructure. Most of these facilities are also available for hiring. There is no new infra-structure during 2016, but plans has been made to either improve or aquire new infrastructure in 2017. Part of that is an Algae Culture Collection and a new Isotope laboratory at AQUA (description below).

In addition plans for moving the infrastructure responsibility to the sections has been made an the plan will be implemented 1.1.2017. Further techni-cal details about the facilities can be found at the web pages.

New Isotope laboratoryThe chemical elements C, H, N, O, and S are main constituents in all biological materials. These elements also have in common that they consist of more than one isotope, with isotopic composition changing systematically as the elements traverse their biogeochemical cycles. The change in isoptope composition is small, but can be measured with an isotope-ratio-mass spectrometer (IRMS). With IRMS technology it is possible to measure indi-cators of photosynthetic pathways, diagnostic processes, or dietary fractionation.

IBV is in the process of setting up a world- class laboratory for analyzing stable isotopes in biological materials (UiO-SIL). The facility is a co-operation between IBV and the Department of Geosciences (GEO), whereby IBV provides the laboratory area (particularly the newly renovated laboratory in room 4426 in KB house), while GEO provides scientific expertise – primarily professor A. Hope Jahren and research specialist Bill Hago-pian who have recently been hired by the CEED SFF at GEO.

Algae Culture CollectionResponsibleBente Edvardsen

During 2016 the algae culture collections at NIVA (The Norwegian Institute for Water Research) and the Department of Biosciences merged. In addition to merging the two culture collections are made available for orders. The culture collection is now the largest culture collection in the Nordic countries. The Department of Biosciences will be main responsible for the salt water cultures, and NIVA will be responsible for the freshwater cultures.The collection consists of 2100 different algae species, of which 800 are marine algae. In comparison, the larges algae culture collection in the United Stated has about 3000 cultures.

The Norwegian Sequencing Centre (NSC) has two equal nodes hosted by the Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES) at the Depart-ment of Biosciences at the University of Oslo, and the Department of Medical Genetics (DMG) at Oslo University Hospital and the University of Oslo. Offered sequencing applicationsNSC offers the Norwegian research community access to a broad range of high-throughput sequencing technologies (HTS) and applications. We possess state-of-the-art facilities and provide services covering most applications within the deep sequencing field, e.g. de novo sequencing, exome sequencing, sequencing of ancient DNA and other degraded DNA samples, as well as transcrip-tome-, miRNA-, amplicon-, bisulphite- and chro-matin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-sequencing., and base modification detection for smaller genomes. Platform updates, instrumentation2 x Illumina NextSeq5003 x Illumina MiSeq1 x HiSeq30001 x HiSeq40004 x HiSeqX1 x Pacific Biosciences RSII1 x Pacific Biosciences Sequel. Offered servicesServices include project consultation, sample preparation, and running the sequencing reactions on the DNA sequencers, together with quality assessment of the data. For projects sequenced on Illumina instruments, mapping of the data to a reference is performed. For bacterial PacBio projects, we continue to deliver fully assembled genomes to our users. In addition to de novo

genomes, base modification analyses can be provided for bacterial and fungal genomes sequenced on PacBio instruments. NSC may also offer advice on analysis software tools. For more advanced projects, users are referred to bio-informatics services/help desks (such as ELIXIR), or to research collaborations when appropriate. The submission of projects is handled through our website (www.sequencing.uio.no) where there is a single contact point for both nodes (CEES and DMG), to help ensure that the optimal technology is applied for each project. In 2016, NSC has started a collaboration with ELIXIR Norway to offer users the possibility of accessing their data through NeLS (the Norwegian eInfrastructure for Life Sciences). NeLS can directly be used for further analysis of the data, if desired. Sequencing activityIn 2016, in total about 13800 different samples – a 84 % increase relative to 2015, were sequenced at NSC. These samples represent 307 projects – mostly from research groups from Norway, but also from several other European countries. The largest fraction of the samples was run on the Illumina platform (HiSeq/MiSeq). However, the number of samples sequenced on PacBio is still steadily growing. Large projectsCurrently, the largest project that NSC is perform-ing sequencing for is the Aqua Genome (AG) Project – led by CEES. In the AG project, 1000 indi-viduals of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) will be sequenced with Illumina technology. The AG project started in 2014 and the bulk of the sequenc-ing was done in 2016. OutreachWe have been involved in organizing a three-week, hands on course on «High Throughput Sequencing technologies and Bioinformatics Analysis», held at UiO in collaboration with the Computational Life Science initiative (CLSi) and the FUGE/ELIXIR Bioinformatics platform.

The Plant Facility

The staffLeader Kathrine Schou

Marit LnagrekkenIngrid JohansenBjørn Langrekken Vegard Iversen

The Plant Facility (Controlled Environment Facility for Plant Research) has been evaluated and and based on the conclusions from the report, a new building for the plant facility has been proposed. As a part of the planning the committee visited Rothamsted Research and Sir David Read Controlled Environment Facility at Sheffield University to look at this facility for inspiration.

This is not a priority for EA (Eiendomsavdelingen) in 2017, but has been made a strategical priority at the faculty. From the strategic plans for the faculty and UiO it is clear that the Plant Facility is impor-tant for future research. The report states that there is urgent need of an functional and tech-nically upgraded plant laboratory and education

area. Todays facility is unsuitable for the technical standards required and has a great risk of break downs. The technical infrastructure is out of date and challenging to run and repair. The report con-cludes that the technical infrastructure has to be renewed. Few changes has been made to the plant facility buildings since they were built in the 70-ies. Out of two alternatives, the best option is to build a new facility, while running the old one. This was also the most cost efficient alternative. These plans have to be seen in relation to other plans for lower Blindern.

The department has made smaller upgrades to double the capacity for the GMO-facility (the lab-oratory area), which will finish in January 2017. These upgrades are regarded as an investment in the employees working conditions and an improve-ment in HSE and working environment.

During 2016 the department has received three major grants that require use of the plant facility. One of these projects were «The double punch: ozone and climate stresses on vegetation» where most of the work will be done in the Plant Facility.

The animal facility (also called In Vivo-Facility) consists of two units: The Terra-unit and the H2O-unit. Among the species that are kept in the TER-RA-unit are various mice strains and various types of laboratory rats. We also have a group of chick-ens living in the outdoor part of the TERRA-unit. The aquariums in the H2O-unit are housing cur-rently stickleback, eel, cod, crucian carp, various salmoide and frogs. As well as the popular model organisms zebrafish and medaka.

HSE and upgrading plansThroughout 2016 the Animal facility has planned a project to improve the working conditions for the employees and to meet the legislations. The upgrades will manly improve the ventilations and temperature regulation. This will lead to an improvement in HSE and working conditions. These project is run by EA (Eiendomsavdelingen), in colaboration with the department and the faculty. The project will start in May 2017 and end in August 2017.

Finse Alpine Research Centre

The staffLeader T. ErgonE. Leslie

The Research Centre at Finse is formally owned by the University of Oslo (UiO), but the funding to build the station was given on the condition that the University of Bergen (UiB) should have equal rights to the centre. The centre is managed by Department of Biosciences at UiO, and UiB contri-butes to the operating costs. The Estate Depart-ment at UiO is responsible for the buildings. The centre has two main buildings: a Research Unit with laboratories and 14 beds, and a Course and Conference Unit with 44 beds. Research and teach-ing at the MN faculties at UiO and UiB have prior-ity, but the research station is also used by other research institutions from Norway and abroad. The station takes part in a network, INTERACT, of 71 circum-arctic terrestrial field stations/bases (see http://www.eu-interact.org/). Further information about the centre is available on the station’s website: http://www.finse.uio.no.

Operation and administrationThe daily operation and administration of the cen-tre is carried out by the Director, Torbjørn Ergon and the Manager, Erika Leslie, both from the Dept. of Biosciences, UiO. The station has a board consisting of two scientific representatives and one technical representative from both UiO and UiB. The board is appointed by the Department of Biosciences, UiO and the MN Faculty at UiB. In 2016, the board members were:

Board members LeaderAtle Nesje, Department of Earth Science, UiB (deputy: Göran Högstedt, Department of Biology, UiB)

Research activityAfter a year with extremely late snowmelt in 2015, the research activity at the station was back to normal in 2016. We registered 524 working days (430 overnight stays) in connection with research projects and 195 working days (172 overnight stays) in connection with operation and maintenance of the station. In total 46 researchers and assistants from 8 institutions visited the station during 2016. Most researchers came from UiO (19 persons, 152 working days), followed by Norwegian Univer-sity of Life Sciences (9 persons 187 working days), Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (6 persons, 25 working days), and UiB (5 persons, 124 working days). Other research institutions using the station were (number of persons/days in parenthesis): University of Portsmouth, UK (3/22), State Museum of Natural History of Karlsruhe, Germany (2/10), University of Utah (1/2), and University of Wiscon-sin (1/2). 68 % of the research working days were accounted for by researchers from biological disciplines, whereas 32 % of the research days were ascribed to researchers from the geo-sciences. 82 % of the research working days took place during the summer months of June, July, August and September.

This year, researchers from the LATICE project (mn.uio.no/lattice) Department of Geosciences, UiO, initiated the installation of a network of instruments able to provide high quality and high resolution data for solving and tracking surface energy balance, CO2 and H2O fluxes in between the land and the atmosphere. A selection of other research projects undertaken at the station, as well as a list of publications, is presented on http://www.finse.uio.no/research/.

Courses and seminarsA total of 1268 overnight stays (1919 working days) and 405 persons were registered in connection with courses, seminars and meetings in the course and conference unit of the centre. The course and conference unit was in use during 70 days through-out the year.

The following regular university field courses were held at the centre (chronological order):

Other activities and outreachThe station is part of a circum-arctic network, INTERACT, of currently 77 field stations in the Scandinavian countries (including Svalbard), Rus-sia, Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Faroe Islands and Scotland (see http://www.eu-interact.org/). The leaders of the stations participate in a Station Managers Forum that meets yearly. The network also administers a Transnational Access research funding scheme and coordinates joint research and monitoring programs and outreach. The first EU funding period ended in 2014. In 2016, we secured funding from the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme for a new four year period. The centre participates in the Finse Forum, where representatives from local business, NGO’s and local governments meet twice a year.

AnnexesThe Garpen cabin, which belongs to the research station, is rented out on a daily basis to staff and students at UiO and UiB. The cabin has been ren-ovated over the last years, and there has been increased interest in using the cabin. During the most busy summer weeks, Garpen is used for extra accommodation for researchers and summer employees at the station. In 2016 the cabin was used in 155 days.

Scientific assistant Jens Ådne Rekkedal Haga (2 months project assistance).

PhD student Rune Roland Hansen (12 months). 3 master students worked at the station in 2016.

In 2016 the research station in Drøbak has applied for new building permissions in order to build two new buildings. One is 75 m2 and supposed to expand the research and educations capacity at Biologen where part of the courses has to be held outside in tent. The other building is 27 m2 for sanitary purposes at Tollboden where the nearest

handicap toilet is at Renskaug Hotel. The conclu-sion is that the building permission will be evalu-ated politically in the municipality during 2017, before the building it can be priorities by EA.

Courses and seminar activityA total of 1217 overnight stays were registered at Tollboden in connection with courses, seminars and meetings. A total of 2361 persons visited the research station in 2016. Teaching activities in 2016 included: 9 UiO field courses (BIO1200A 3 courses, BIO4400, BIO4550, BIO4301, BIO4260, BIO4320 and a ForBio PhD-course), 3 NMBU field courses (ZOOL100) and 1 field course from UiB (DEST and ForBio PhD course). In addition SABIMA arranged one field course. In all, there were 76 days with field courses in 2016. Seminars and meetings totalled 1 from UiO and 1 from an external institu-tion. The scientific outreach consisted of contribu-tion in 1 meeting (JIP-particle motion meeting in Leiden, Netherlands). The station’s recent research featured in the upcoming TV program «Why do fish take the bait» with Rune Gokstad at NRK.

The station has a microscopy lab with sophisticated fluorescence microscopes and image analysing software, a chemical analysis lab, cold storage facilities, seawater filtration sys-tem, air compressor for scuba cylinders, 3 small boats, field equipment and a marine sample collec-tion. The station is additionally furnished with all relevant teaching aids for course and seminar activity.

Tollboden has a seminar room, kitchen, laboratory and beds for 24 people. The laboratory is equipped with microscopes and stereo microscopes. It is seawater inlet and 2 aquaria for studies of marine flora and fauna nearby the house.

Development and new facilitiesPlans for expansion of the station have been fur-ther developed in 2016. In February, the architect engaged by the Estate department at UiO released the final plans for a new research building at Bio-logen and a new sanitary building at Tollboden.

Applications for building permission for the two projects have been sent to Frogn municipality. The new facility at Biologen will incorporate saltwater laboratories, various teaching capacities and will be equipped for handicapped. This will alleviate a long standing need in this area at the field station. The estimated cost is 4,68 million NKr. Hopefully, this much needed development will be funded in 2018. The building is incorporated in a new regu-lation plan for the city of Drøbak.

A new sanitary building equipped for handicapped has been projected at Tollboden. This will be a great improve for students and others staying at Tollboden. The estimated cost is 1.6 million NOK, and hopefully this will be funded in 2018 as well.

T. Opsahl J. Sundøy

The vessels´condition has been evaluated in 2016. The report will result in a strategy to find new solutions for the research vessels in cooperation with the faculty.

The department of Biosciences has two research vessels in the Oslo Fjord: F/F Trygve Braarud (70´) and F/F Bjørn Føyn (40´). Trygve Braarud has been used in the Oslo fjord for about 30 years. During 2016 its condition has been evaluated thoroughly.

The report will result in a strategy to find new solutions for the research vessels in cooperation with the faculty.

The Research Vessel Trygve Braarud is used for a wide array of research task in the Oslo fjord.

Both vessels are regularly used for both research and educational purposes. When they are not used by the department they are leased to other research institutions. Trygve Braarud is equiped with modern navigation systems, laboratories and equipment for resarch and different samling. The vessel can take up to 32 persons. The main base is at Sollerud at Lysaker.

The Central engineering workshop has been merged with the other workshops during 2016. The change will be effective from 1.1. 2017. The initial plans for merging the central engineering workshops at the different departments were made in 2015. These plans include building a new facility for the whole faculty. The Central Engineering Workshop has to this day mainly served the Department of Biosciences, though it also under-takes construction work for external organizations such as Veritas, NIVA, and NINA.

The workshop at IBV stands out due to the close proximity to the research groups and the broad-ranged skills of the team. The workshop mainly assists in developing new equipment to science, and also carries out construction and repair work in mechanics, electronics and welding the work-shop is usually contacted when the user is faced with difficulties in buying necessary equipment.

Central workshop is part of MN-joint workshop which is a co-organization of workshops on Physics, Chemistry and the Institute of Biosciences. Our mission is to provide services to the entire faculty in fine mechanical construction and manufacturing. Our products include equipment used in rockets and satellites, ESA, and we are a subcontractor to several experiments at the CERN. We are now also involved in the construction phase of instrumentation in ESS. Furthermore, we have spent many years working with design / production of sections located on Geology, Pharmaceuticals, IFI, Department of Mathematics, Physical Institute, Department of Chemistry and of course IBV. New in this year is that we got access to CNC milling, CNC lathe and 3D printing in ABS plastic that is located at unit Physics.

New in 2016 is that we now also offer service on vacuum pumps. With new employees in 2016, we have strengthened our expertise in design and strength calculation. We are now a total of 12 people, including our apprentice, in the MN-joint work-shop.

In 2016, the workshop had full order lists and many interesting and challenging assignments. A total of 378 projects of varying complexity were undertaken for the faculty. Many of our tasks in IBV unit in 2016 as in 2015 were related to phys-iology, in both rats/ mouse an fish experiments.

SOPs and chemicalsThe department has more than 4000 chemicals in total.

We have 318 risk evaluated procedures. This means that for some of the chemicals marked with danger there is no risk evaluated procedure. This is some-thing that the department is prioritizing to change. New in 2016 is that all risk assesment also include a substitution evaluation. The aim is to ensure that all CMR (inogenic, Mutagenic or Toxic for Re pro-duction) in use have a risk assessment and an assessment of substitution.

Adverse eventA new electronic reporting system is now in place. The number of reported event increase from 2015 to 2016 with 35 %. IBV was part of the project group.

New prosedures and updated research vessel haandbooks The HSE system for the University has been devel-oped in accordance with the internal control reg-ulations and SN-BS OHSAS 18001:2007 standard. The system is based on the University’s HSE goal of risk under control. IBV has by 31.12.2016 17 HSE procedures to suplement these. In 2016 two new procedures was written in addtion to two updates of existing procedures. In 2016 the Research vessel updated the HSE handbook in accordance to the Norwegian Maritime laws and legislation.

New procedures for risk assesment and HSE training of MSc studentsThe faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science are responsible for giving basic HSE information and training to bachelors and masterstudents in the 7 HSE courses. All MSc students has to refresh HMS0503 and for BIO also HMS0504 before start-ing the practical work in the lab and field. In addi-tion the risk assessment part of the MSC uptake us revisited and updated to be in line with the HSE system at UiO.

Postal inspectinos IBV had two postal inspections in 2016. One at the Animal Facility – rodents and one at the plant facilty – GMO lab. Staff have reported allergen development possible caused by the working envi-ronment. HSE problems related exposure to rodent allergens is well known. Both the postal inspec-tions was closed imidiately.

HSE prizeThe winner of the HSE prize was Cathrine Fagernes (more information under prizes and awards).
