The natural sciences, mathematics and technology are crucial to addressing many societal challenges, but recruitment to these disciplines appears limited through all levels of education.
In this talk I will discuss some relevant statistics, and consider some ways in which we (our Faculty) can address the situation.
Knut Martin Mørken is a professor of mathematics at the University of Oslo, and serves as the Associate Dean for Education at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (UiO). He teaches the course MAT-INF1100. His research includes, among other things, geometric modeling.
In 2017, Knut Mørken received the Olav Thon Foundation's national award for outstanding teaching for having developed "a clear educational vision through the InterAct program - Culture for Learning" and for implementing "a renewal of the study programs and subjects at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Oslo."
