2. Researcher training (PhDs)

•We see our PhD fellows primarily as researchers. We do not want to reorganise our doctoral traning to be administered by student affairs.

•PhD fellows are professional contributors to new knowledge and are more than students.

•Group B should be better integrated into university democracy.

•Teaching experience is imporant and four year stipends allow this.

•Networks, researcher schools and a maximum of six months from submitting to defending a dissertation.

3. Education• Quality in all aspects• Breadth and diversity• Stronger links between learning goals, content, form

and assessment • Stronger links between research and teaching;

student-active research • Evaluations, rewarding good teaching. • High quality teaching leadership and coordination,

valuing teaching. • Dannelse – a broad, liberal arts approach• Physical learning spaces, student organisations,

safety, more student housing• Graduation ceremonies for BA and MA, not just PhD• Life-long learning

4. Outreach and communication

• UiB as a scholarly and cultural powerhouse in Bergen

• Open access and open data as a basic principle

• Strengthen alumni relations and contact with business and cultural sector

• MA theses and good BA theses should be publically available, and popularisation of research should be part of courses including student-active research
