What Will It Take to Address the Global Threat of Antibiotic Resistance?
Among the many global health challenges facing the world today, antibiotic resistance is a problem that requires true global collective action. Medical evidence shows that drug-resistant diseases can spread across borders from something as simple as a traveler returning home from abroad.
Post.doc. Trygve Ottersen has published an article as part of a special symposium in Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics on the global threat of antibiotic resistance. The paper examines the central aspects of accountability relationships in international agreements and lays out ways to strengthen them. Read more here.

EU Project recruiting participants to interview
One of the Marie Curie research projects at UiB is recruiting participants to interview. The project is particularly interested in recruiting participants who work in faculty positions (Assistant professor or professor) and in administrative positions; 4-5 from each category.
Participants should speak Norwegian, and consider Norway their current and future home. They also need to have been affiliated with the university for at least four years. The project intends to understand their experiences, both positive and negative, being perceived as “other” in Norway, particularly in the university context. Participants will be anonymized.
