Panel discussion: How does COVID-19 affect early career researchers and what can we do about it?

The pandemic, while still ongoing, has already had a dramatic impact on UiO activity and highlighted issues with implications that are yet to be fully grasped. This panel discussion is an attempt at opening up a UiO-wide conversation that will enable influential voices in the university research environment to share their experience and perspectives on this situation. Specifically, we will focus on: 

  • How does COVID-19 affect early career researchers?

  • What are the institutions doing to mitigate the impact?

  • What are foreseeable difficulties on the implementation of such measures?

Content

On January 27 from 12 PM - 13:30 PM UiODoc would like to invite all PhDs and Postdocs to a panel discussion to highlight the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on both research in general and researchers individually including what we can do about it as an instution. To have a balanced discussion, we have invited the following participants:

Participants

  • Rector Svein Stølen (UiO)
  • Union representative Cecilie Wingerei Lilleheil (ForskerForbundet)

  • Leader of the Young Academy Ingrid Lossius Falkum (Akademiet for Yngre Forskere)

  • Student counsellor Linda Therese Sørensen Westgaard (ForVei)

Panel discussion

The panel discussion will start off with an introductory statement by every participant and will then be followed by a round table discussion led by a skilled moderator. In the end we would like to open the floor to the audience to ask questions and discuss those.
