About the CCBIO Seminars
The CCBIO Seminar series covers the full spectrum of research areas within CCBIO's research focus. Talks are held mainly by invited international speakers.听Before each semester, it is possible to suggest speakers for the next semester of听CCBIO Seminars. CCBIO provides financing for inviting speakers. The CCBIO Seminars series is part of a master- and a PhD course programme, BMED380 and CCBIO902 respectively, and is open to all that are interested in biomedical and biosciences research. Registration to the courses can be done at 听(for students requiring ECTS). Audience not requiring ECTS registration, does not need to register.

Place, time, transport
The seminars are normally held at BBB, Jonas Lies vei 91, 3rd floor, in auditorium 4, usually at 14.30 one Thursday per month. The auditorium is up the stairs on the right hand side after passing the reception at the BBB main entrance or is straight on when coming via the pedestrian bridge from Haukeland Hospital. For transport from downtown Bergen, you can consider using the Campusbussen.

CCBIO Special Seminars: Please inform us about your guests
If a renowned scientist within a relevant field is going to visit your group and would be willing to give a talk under the umbrella of the CCBIO Special Seminars, please let us know. If approved as a Special Seminar, CCBIO will provide part of the financing and assist听with marketing. Contact Donald Gullberg if you have suggestions for speakers for the CCBIO Seminars at the scheduled dates or for a CCBIO Special Seminar outside these dates.

If you want to suggest a speaker to any of the open slots, please get in touch with Carina Strell听per email. In the email, you should include the following information: A short motivation, topic suggestion, a short bio of 4-5 lines, affiliation, CV or publication list and webpage of the speaker. CCBIO听will select speakers among those suggested, using the following criteria: scientific excellence, topic of general interest, topic diversity. For CCBIO Special Seminars, please include what date听you suggest for the talk. We prefer you to听arrange for booking of one of the auditoria听in the BB-Building for the CCBIO Special Seminar.

Travel costs and reimbursement
CCBIO will contribute with costs for the selected speakers up to 50% of the total costs for travel, lodging and sustenance/dinner. CCBIO's total contribution is capped at 15.000 NOK for overseas speakers and 8.000 NOK for European speakers. The rest will need to be covered by your funds. For flights, hotel and reimbursement you need to interact with your own department's administration according to your own department's procedures. After all the costs have been paid and you know the full amount, your financial officers can forward CCBIO鈥檚 part of the cost to CCBIO's financial coordinator Mildrid B酶nes H酶g氓s.

Your responsibilities as a host
If CCBIO agrees to your proposed guest speaker, you will be acting as host.

This involves sending the following to Eli.Vidhammer@uib.no :

• The short bio of 4-5 lines, affiliation, webpage of the speaker with bio and publication list,听immediately after your candidate has been accepted by CCBIO.
• A seminar title (as soon as possible after accepting, it can be changed later) as well as an abstract (approx. 陆 a page; to be provided at the latest two weeks before the seminar).
• You must inform the speaker 1) to give a general introduction at the start, 2) that the audience is composed of students, postdocs and faculty with diverse backgrounds, 3) to limit the lecture to approx. 45 min.

In terms of logistics, following up your guest and the seminar itself, you need to:

• Act as a liaison between the speaker and your own department's administration regarding transport and accommodation for the guest as well as reimbursement of travelling costs.
• Arrange a social program for the guest during his/her stay.
• Setup of the ppt.-presentation in the auditorium together with the speaker in due time before the start of the seminar. In case you prefer technical听assistance, please contact听Torstein Ravnskog听at least one day in advance.
• Ask the speaker to give a general introduction at the beginning of the talk placing his/her work/results into a broader perspective. Informing him/her that the lecture should not greatly exceed 45 minutes.
• Chair the seminar which includes introducing the speaker and leading the discussion.
• Snap some photos during the seminar, or make sure someone else does, for use in the CCBIO Annual Report, to be sent to Eli.Vidhammer@uib.no听along with a short text about the seminar (topic, speaker, interesting points raised in the talk...)
