The Dean encourages all students and employees to answer the survey on innovation and entrepreneurship at the MED-Faculty.
Our faculty generates a large number of innovative ideas every year. Even so, there is a great unrealized potential for innovation and entrepreneurship among students, researchers and staff. To strengthen the entrepreneurial culture and provide students and researchers with tools and know-how to further develop their innovative ideas, the Faculty of Medicine collaborates with the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences to strengthen innovation and entrepreneurship at our faculties.
We hope you share our views on the importance of gathering this information and kindly ask you to fill out the questionnaire and share your views with us (...
Dear students,
We refer to the Oslo Municipality's press conference on 14th of April 2021, where the City Council decided to continue the strict measures until the 29th of April. This means that the University of Oslo also must continue with the measures we have today.
The reading rooms are open and can be booked. Which teaching is held physically is stated in the timetable for your studies. We still have a high infection pressure in Oslo. We therefore remind you that it is important to comply with the 2-meter rule and other infection control measures also when you meet in the common areas outside the reading rooms and teaching rooms at UiO and the hospitals.
Best regards,
Eivind Engebretsen and Elin Olaug Rosvold

We hope you have all had a nice and relaxing holiday and we look forward to meeting you for a new semester in January!
Infection protection
We still have to comply with strict infection control restrictions in the coming months. In order to be able to carry out physical education in a safe way, procedures have been created for various teaching activities. It is absolutely necessary that you familiarize with these regulations. While you may already be well acquainted with some of these regulation, others may be specific for the courses you are attending in the Spring.

Welcome to The Ethics of Testing Second Best Treatments in Developing Countries
Open guest lecture by Ezekiel J. Emanuel. The event starts with a reception at 2:45 PM. There will be light refreshments and a chance to network and mingle. The guest lecture starts at 3:30 PM. Registration before August 18.
Does everyone deserve the world's highest quality health tests and treatments? Is it ever ethical to provide people with less effective or more toxic care? Similarly, is the Declaration of Helsinki right in requiring all new interventions be tested against the world's "best proven intervention(s)"? What about the WHO, which provides conflicting advice?
Despite decades of debate, these questions, and the larger dilemma of health care quality, remain unsolved. Through examination of such cases as anti-retroviral treatment for HIV/AIDS and cervical cancer screening, Dr. Emanuel will...
