“I am also very grateful for the opportunities to do open and interdisciplinary research, which is encouraged at UiB. It is a really great environment to do science and to build and expand new collaborations in” , highlighted the winner.
The other two awards went to Researcher Henriette Aksnes (Department of Biomedicine, UiB – also award for young researchers), and Professor Lars Thore Fadnes (Department of Global Public Health and Primary Care, UiB – the award for outstanding research dissemination).
