Climate change! You hear it everywhere, but do you understand how it works? What is really causing the sea level rise? What is the connection between CO2 emissions and disruption of the water cycle? There is a way to learn about it in 3 hours: Climate Fresk workshop!

During the workshop, we are going to play a collaborative game that brings climate science to the table, literally! The workshop ends with a discussion, where we share thoughts and ideas on the topic. Remember, you don’t need any prior knowledge. You can read more about the workshop here: https://climatefresk.org/

We’re going to serve pizza to all participants. You can also register with a friend or a family member!

Seminar by Tekna and DION for temporary employees at NTNU Gjøvik

Tekna NTNU and DION invite all PhD candidates, postdocs and others with a temporary employment at NTNU to a free seminar on November 24, 15:00–18:00 in K105 in the Kobolt building. We will enlighten you on all the tips and tricks of being employed here at NTNU, the benefits and challenges. The seminar program is as follows:

  • Working in Norway – how does the Norwegian Model work, and why are unions so important here?
  • How to be temporarily employed – does it differ from other employment? What are my rights? Can I negotiate my salary? A representative from Tekna will tell you some of what you need to know about working in Norway in general, and the university sector in specific.
  • DION – who are we and what can we do for you
  • Tekna NTNU – who are we and how can we help you

Simple food will be served at the seminar; and we need to know how many will participate. Please sign up using the below registration link if you have the opportunity to participate:
