Arrangementet inkluderte populærvitenskapelige presentasjoner av forskere innenfor fysikk, biologi og musikkvitenskap. Det ble også vist en musikalsk fremføring hvor rytmer basert på fysiologi ble brukt. Arrangementet ble avsluttet med en paneldiskusjon blant seniorforskere som er involvert i ABINO-prosjektet, om mulighetene og utfordringene ved å jobbe i et tverrfaglig miljø.

Under paneldiskusjonen var det være mulig å interagere med ABINO seniorforskerene via chat funksjonen i live streamen.

There will be organised two workshops for potential applicants to new convergence environments. The second one will be 2 March. Participation in one of the workshops is mandatory for submitting an application.

Det vil bli arrangert to workshop for potensielle søkere til nye konvergsmiljø. Det andre vil bli holdt 2. mars. Deltakelse i en av workshopene er obligatorisk for å søke.

Doctoral candidate Sondre Andreas Engebråten at the Department of informatics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Concurrent multi-tasking drone swarms through quality-diversity methods and COTS hardware for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

We invite you to join scientists and philosophers from the UiO:Life Science convergence environment 3DR to discuss the clinical and biological challenges that come with the ethics of organ donation in Norway, and discover our source of inspiration to improve organ preservation for donation: the crucian carp inhabiting Norwegian ponds. This online seminar will include short presentations, a discussion and various activities (polls and Q&A sessions).

Vi inviterer deg til å bli med forskere og filosofer fra UiO:Livsvitenskaps konvergensmiljø 3DR å diskutere kliniske og biologiske utfordringer som følger med etikken i organdonasjon i Norge og oppdage en av våre inspirasjonskilder for forbedring av organdonasjon: karpefisk (karuss) som lever i norske tjern. Dette online seminaret inkluderer korte presentasjoner, en diskusjon og ulike aktiviteter som meningsmålinger og spørsmål/svar økter.

The ultimate boundaries of human reproduction lie at the limited availability of egg and sperm.  The ability to create sperm and eggs in the laboratory opens up a new world of reproductive possibilities. Imagine a world in which same sex couples can have babies genetically related to both partners. Where the menopause no longer spells the end of a woman’s fertility. Where any individual, of any age, can produce both sperm and eggs. 

Mental disorders are recognized as leading causes of disability and morbidity globally, and are among the costliest disorders to affect humans. The causal underpinnings of these disorders is a complex web of genetic, biological and psychosocial mechanisms. Recent advances in technology and computational techniques can help disentangle this complexity, leading to a further understanding of the conditions and subsequently better strategies for treatment and prevention.

Psykiske lidelser er en av de ledende årsakene til funksjonsnedsettelse og død på global basis. De er også blant de mer kostbare lidelsene for samfunnet. Den underliggende årsaken til denne typen sykdommer er en kompleks sammensetning av genetiske, biologiske og psykososiale mekanismer. Teknologiske fremskritt kan bidra til å navigere i denne kompleksiteten, og føre til en bedre forståelse av lidelsene som igjen kan gi bedre strategier for behandling og forebygging.

C*-algebra seminar talk by Amine Marrakchi (Lyon)

Energy Valleys Industry Science Meetup is a series of events created and structured to build the gap between Academia and Industry. We match the best researchers from the academic institutions with the most exciting and innovative research and technologies from the industry.

At this digital meetup, each of the MoU parties will bring forth some of the best from their networks together, to create value by joining forces.

We look at the climate crisis in a Hamlet perspective. 

Vi ser på klimakrisen i et hamletsk perspektiv. I Shakespeares utømmelige tekster gjenspeiles livets store konflikter. Unge Hamlet kjempet mot et korrupt system hvor nestekjærlighet, tillit og troen på demokratiet står på spill. Hamlet skal arve kongeriket, dagens unge klimaaktivister skal arve jorden.

In the last decade, artificial intelligence has surpassed humans in among others the games of Go and Starcraft. Many researchers believe it's only a matter of time before we make an artificial intelligence that is smarter than humans in all areas. Most famous of these is Ray Kurzweil who predicts this will happen before the year 2050. But will this intelligence be conscious? What are the implications if it is or not? We invite to a panel discussion where these and other questions will be discussed.

The coronavirus caused the whole of Norway to shut down in the spring of 2020. What consequences has it had for the everyday life, leisure and household of most people? Has it had any effect on the climate and the economy? And what are the long-term consequences? When will life be like before the closure, or will it be?

I det siste tiåret har kunstig intelligens slått mennesker i blant annet spillene Go og Starcraft 2. Mange forskere mener at det bare er et tidspørsmål før vi lager en kunstig intelligens som er smartere enn mennesker på omtrent alle områder. Mest berømt av disse er Ray Kurzweil som mener at dette vil skje innen 2050. Men vil denne intelligensen være bevisst? Hva vil det si om den er det eller ikke er det? Vi inviterer til panelsamtale hvor denne typen spørsmål vil diskuteres.

Koronaviruset førte til at hele Norge stengte ned våren 2020. Hvilke konsekvenser har det hatt for hverdagslivet, fritiden og husholdningen til folk flest? Har det hatt noen effekt på klimaet og økonomien? Og hva er konsekvensene på lengre sikt? Når blir livet som før nedstengingen, eller blir det ikke det?

Computational thinking are by some defined as the capability to resolve problems algorithmically and logically, including skills related to representing, organizing and identifying patterns in data. This may be seen as leaning in a direction of discrete and observable processes. The Norwegian translation to "algoritmisk tenkning" can be read even clearer in the direction of defining explicit, deterministic instructions to achieve a well understood outcome. At the same time, computational thinking is not only promoted as a means to allow the development of concrete code/algorithms, but also as a way of thinking constructively about phenomena in a variety of fields. And it is clearly not the case that all phenomena in nature and society only involve discrete, directly observed entities - to the contrary, many relations and processes we may be interested in are continuous and probabilistic in their nature, where we have to constructively relate to risks, uncertainties and underlying patterns. An interesting question is whether the ability to devise algorithms to solve well defined problems and the ability to relate constructively to questions in an uncertain world should be seen as two aspects of the same skillset, or as separate skills that are cultivated through separate learning experiences.

At this digital seminar PhD students, postdocs and Master´s students in life sciences at UiO and NMBU have the opportunity to create networks outside academia.

The concert can unfortunately not be performed due to current corona measures and has therefore been canceled. "The Lapse of time" oratorio of excerpts from Charles Darwin On the Origin of Species composed by Bjørn Morten Christophersen was to take place in Frogner kirke.

Konserten kan dessverre ikke gjennomføres pga. gjeldende koronatiltak og har derfor blitt avlyst.  "The Lapse of time" oratorium over utdrag fra Charles Darwin: On the Origin of Species er komponert av Bjørn Morten Christophersen og skulle fremføres i Frogner kirke.
