Schools for your children during your sabbatical year
Mappe:
English
Here you will find information about kindergartens and schools in connection with sabbatical abroad. Norsk versjon - Barnehage og skole ved utenlandsopphold. Looking for something else? Topic page about Sabbatical | Pages labeled with kindergarten. Innholdsfortegnelse [-] Finding schools for your children abroad Tuition Homeschooling Leave of absence from Norwegian school Leave of absence Leave of absence from private school Kindergarten Relevant links Finding schools for your children abroad If you take your sabbatical abroad, your host institution may be able to help you find schools or childcare for your children. In the same way as in Norway, the choice of school/school district is often linked to your residential address. In addition you may also find information about schools and cindergartens following these resources: When staying within the EU/EØS area, these websites can be of help:Eures - Living and workingEuraxess - Around the worldIf you wish to continue your child's schooling in Norwegian, you can check this list of Norwegian schools abroad (in Norwegian).Some courses can be given online in Norwegian for grades 1-10: Globalskolen and Norskskolen (in Norwegian).It may be possible for your child to take his or her Norwegian secondary school exams abroad (in Norwegian).Bring documentation that helps describe your child's schooling in Norway, such as reading lists or lesson plans. Some foreign schools require a health certificate and proof of vaccination. Tuition Some countries schools have tuition fees. This is especially relevant in English speaking countries and in international schools where English is not the native language. Tuition costs, exceeding normal school/kindergarten expenses in Norway, can be tax deductible. Homeschooling It is possible to apply to allow your child to be homeschooled if one parent is at home during your stay abroad. If you consider to take this approach, you should contact the Oppvekst Office in your municipality well before your departure date. Leave of absence from Norwegian school Leave of absence Contact your child's school before you travel to find out what consequences, if any, your stay abroad will have for your child's further schooling in Norway. Typically, a child cannot be given more than a 14-day leave of absence from school. The usual practice is to withdraw your child from school during the time that you are abroad and enroll them again when you return from your sabbatical. Leave of absence from private school If you have children in a private school, you can apply for an extended leave of absence from the principal, but be aware that this can be denied, and/or your child could lose his or her spot at the school. If this happens you will have to apply again for a spot at the school well before you return to Norway. Kindergarten If your child is in kindergarten you should check as soon as possible to see if your child's spot can be held for you during your absence. It is difficult for a kindergarten or preschool spot to be left empty for months while you are abroad and there is no guarantee that you will be able to keep your spot while you are away.

Assistant professor Øyvind Haugan Lien: teacher education inn accordance with chapter 14 in "forskrift 23. juni 2006 nr. 724 til opplæringslova", psychology, special education. NTNU in Gjøvik Assistant professor Randi Stensby Lied: nursing, occupational therapy, radiography, paramedics. Associate professor Siv Sønsteby Nordhagen is Lied's substitute. NTNU in Ålesund Assistant professorBente Schei Skagøy: biomedical laboratory science, nursing. Assistant professor Sølvi Røsvik is Skagøy's substitute. About suitability assessment The Regulations relating to suitability assessment in higher education specify the criteria for suitability assessment. These criteria are general, and must be supplemented by qualified expert and professional judgement. For a student to be considered unsuitable, at least one of the factors described in the criteria must apply to such a degree that the student poses a potential danger to the lives, physical and mental health, rights and safety of pupils, patients, clients or users that the profession entails. Suitability assessment must be conducted throughout the programme of study, and is continuously considered in both the theoretical and the practical part of the programme. If there is doubt about a student's suitability, a special suitability assessment is required. This will be used in special cases when other formal and informal measures during the programme have not remedied the situation. The most important measure is in the programme itself, where the student may fail subjects or professional training. Students who show inability to master their professional training will usually fail this part of their education. If the institution sees that the student will be unable to complete or will have major problems in completing his or her programme of study, the student can receive guidance about this and may be advised to discontinue the programme. Programmes of study at NTNU that are covered by suitability assessment Suitability assessments must be conducted throughout the following programmes of study: Programme of professional study in medicineProgramme of professional study in psychologyMaster's degree in pharmacyTeacher training for grades 1-7Teacher training for grades 5-10Five-year programme for Master of Philosophy and Education/Master of Science and Education (lektorutdanning)Three-year vocational subject teacher educationBachelor's degree in child welfare (barnevern)Bachelor's degree in audiologyBachelor's degree in physiotherapyBachelor's degree - learning diability nursing (vernepleier)Bachelor's degree in nursingBachelor's degree in biomedical laboratory scienceBachelor's degree in occupational therapyBachelor's degree in radiographyBachelor's degree in social workProgramme of study in midwiferyEducational theory and practice (teacher training)Suitability assessment takes place continuously in both the theoretical and the practical part of the programme of study. All subject teachers and/or teaching practice supervisors/practical training supervisors are responsible for ensuring that students' suitability is assessed. At the start of their studies, students must be informed about suitability assessment and what it entails. Notification of doubt regarding suitability Special suitability assessment starts with submission of notification of doubt in writing to the responsible member of the institution staff regarding the student's suitability. Anyone who is in contact with the student can submit notification of doubt. In most cases it will be a member of the teaching staff or practical training supervisor, but it could also be students or administrative employees who have been in contact with the student. The person who submits the notification of doubt may not be anonymous.The responsible member of the institution staff is responsible for the process of dealing with notifications of doubt and for ensuring that as much information about the case as possible is gathered for possible investigation by the Suitability Committee. The student must be notified in writing that there are grounds for doubt about his or her suitability, and the student must be summoned to a suitability review. The student may bring one person to the review. The student must be offered extended supervision and guidance unless it is obvious that such supervision is not suited to helping the student. Written minutes of the suitability review are to be taken, including a description of the case and, if relevant, plans for extended supervision and guidance of the student. If extended supervision and guidance do not lead to the necessary change and development for the student, the member of NTNU's staff who is responsible for suitability assessment must submit the case to the Suitability Committee. From this stage of the proceedings, the student is entitled to expenses paid by the institution for assistance from a lawyer. Procedure in the Suitability Committee NTNU has a Suitability Committee that consists of internal and external members. Cases submitted to the Suitability Committee must be accompanied by all the written documentation on the case. The committee must investigate the case in greater depth if necessary. The student must be notified of the date and time for the committee meeting well in advance and must be presented with the case information. The student must have the opportunity to present his or her views to the committee before the meeting. The Suitability Committee prepares a recommendation to NTNU's Appeals Committee with an assessment of whether the student is suited or not, whether the student should be excluded completely or partly from the programme of study in question, as well as the length of the exclusion period and any conditions the student must meet in order to be allowed to resume the programme of study. Procedure in the Appeals Committee Based on the recommendation of the Suitability Committee, the Appeals Committee at NTNU may pass a decision on exclusion from the programme of study for up to three years if it finds that a student is not suitable for the profession for which he or she is studying. The student may appeal the decision of the Appeals Committee to a joint Appeals Committee established to consider appeals on decisions about a student's suitability, among other purposes. The Norwegian Universities and Colleges Admission Service (NUCAS) is notified of the decision on exclusion. The decision will apply to all the country's educational institutions. This means that the student may not apply to or accept a place at equivalent programmes of study at institutions subject to the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges during the period of exclusion and that the student must apply again if the programme of study is to be resumed after the period of exclusion. Right to coverage of legal expenses The student is entitled to representation by a lawyer or other spokesperson from the date on which the case is brought before the Suitability Committee. The expenses for this are covered by NTNU based on the State’s fee scales. Members of the Suitability Committee The members of the NTNU Suitability Committee are appointed for three years, whereas the student representatives are appointed for one year. The members during the period 1 January 2020 – 31 December 2020 are: Academic Head of the Committee: Vice Dean Toril Forbord, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Trondheim Head of Studies: Associate Professor Anna Ruth Grüters, Department of Teacher Education Representatives of supervised professional training: Teacher Jan Åge Almaas, Flatåsen School and Associate Professor Guro Aune, Department of Clinical and Molecular Medicine, Trondheim Teaching staff: Assistant Professor Lars Andre Olsen, Department of Health Sciences, Ålesund and Assistant Professor Anne Grytbakk, Department of Social Work, Trondheim Student representatives: Herman Nesse, Teacher Education (01.01.23-31.12.23) and Ingvil Husby, Nursing (01.01.23-31.12.23) External representative: Senior Adviser Børge HaugsethSecretary of the Suitability Committee: Senior Adviser - Jurist Anne Marie Snekvik.

Work with genetically modified organisms
Mappe:
English
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are microorganisms, plants and animals whose genetic composition has been altered using genetic engineering or cell technology. Genetic engineering involves methods of isolating, characterizing and modifying genetic material and inserting it into living cells or viruses. Genetic engineering is regulated by the Gene Technology Act. Norsk versjon: Arbeid med genmodifisert materiale Innholdsfortegnelse [-] Before you work with genetically modified organisms Containment measures Genetically modified animals Genetically modified plants Genetically modified microorganisms Procedure for incidents involving GMO Reporting non-conformances and incidents Help Legislation Contact Approval/signature Before you work with genetically modified organisms Laboratories and other facilities for contained use must be approved in advance by the Norwegian Directorate of Health. The use of genetically modified organisms must also be reported to the Directorate. More information and various forms for applying for approval and for reporting are available from the Directorate of Health’s website on genetic engineering (in Norwegian). Work on genetically modified microorganisms that are classified in human pathogen hazard groups 2, 3 or 4 according to the Regulations concerning action and limit values, Annex 2, must also be reported to the Labour Inspection Authority (Regulations concerning the performance of work, Section 6-3 ). When using new GMOs, it is not necessary to send a new notification (except for hazard group 4). Units at NTNU must have procedures for registering all new projects that involve the use of GMOs, conducting a risk assessment of these projects, and ensuring that approval and notification to the Directorate of Health are in order. Changes to existing projects must be handled in the same way. Annexes III and IV of the Forskrift om genmodifiserte mikroorganismer (Regulations on genetically modified microorganisms) and Annex III of the Forskrift om genmodifiserte planter (Regulations on genetically modified plants) contain helpful information for assessing the risk of work with these organisms. Other sources of general information on genetically modified organisms are listed under help. Formulate notifications to the Directorate of Health in a way that will cover any minor changes in the projects. For example, it is not necessary to send a new notification every time you replace a bacterium in an existing research set-up (if the bacteria in question are classified in the same hazard group). However, activity or agents classified at containment level 3 must always be reported separately. Containment measures Containment is necessary for any work operation in which genetically modified organisms are produced, cultured, stored, destroyed or used in other ways. This means that work on GMOs must take place in a closed system using physical and possibly other specific containment measures. The aim is to ensure a high level of safety for humans and the environment by limiting contact with GMOs. Genetically modified animals The classification of the genetically modified animal determines the containment requirements for the laboratories and facilities to be used. Animals covered by the regulation are classified as vertebrates, invertebrates or aquatic animals. For activities where genetically modified animals fall into several of these classifications, containment measures for the individual groups must be combined. Laboratories for using genetically modified animals must meet the technical requirements stated in the application form for approval of laboratories and facilities (Annex I, Regulation on contained use of genetically modified animals, in Norwegian). Laboratories must be designed in accordance with requirements for containment measures (biosafety level, BSL), Section 8-4 of the Workplace Regulations. Genetically modified plants Genetically modified plants are classified at a containment level based on the plants’ potential for outdoor establishment and dissemination as well as their ability to release pollen, on the scale S2-S4. S2 = contained use of genetically modified plants with high biological containment, i.e. plants without the capacity for outdoor establishment and disseminationS3 = contained use of genetically modified plants with moderate biological containment, that is, plants with the potential for outdoor establishment and dissemination, but with little capacity for the release of pollenS4 = contained use of genetically modified plants with low biological containment, i.e. plants with the capacity for outdoor establishment and dissemination as well as the ability to release pollen.The requirements for containment measures are specified in the application form in Annex I in the Regulations on contained use of genetically modified plants (in Norwegian). Genetically modified microorganisms Microorganisms are defined as any cellular or non-cellular microbiological entity capable of replication or transferring genetic material, including viruses, viroids, animal cells and plant cells in culture. Several types of genetically modified microorganisms are classified according to the risk of infection they pose to humans (see the Regulations concerning action and limit values, Annex 2), and the hazard groups have associated containment levels designed to prevent the microorganism from coming into unintended contact with humans or the environment. Laboratories and facilities for work with genetically modified microorganisms are classified in containment levels 1, 2, 3 and 4, where 1 is the lowest containment level. The minimum requirements for containment measures are shown in the table in Annex I C, I D, and I F in the Regulations on contained use of genetically modified microorganisms (in Norwegian). In some cases, it may be necessary to use a combination of measures from the tables. Necessary containment measures in connection with the use of genetically modified organisms are described in more detail in various regulations. Here, special containment requirements are also described for the combined use of genetically modified microorganisms, animals and/or plants. If there is any doubt about which containment levels and containment measures are appropriate for planned contained use, the most stringent protective measures must be used. Procedure for incidents involving GMO Units at NTNU must have procedures for handling non-conformances or incidents that occur during work with genetically modified organisms. As a minimum, the routines must include information about resource persons internally at the department or at the faculty who can help if an incident occurs. Spills that contain genetically modified microorganisms should be handled in the same way as infectious biological factors, for example as follows: Use disposable gloves. Wipe up as much of the spill as possible with paper towels. Clean the surface using sodium hypochlorite solution. For larger spills: Cover the surface in paper towels and soak them with diluted sodium hypochlorite (1:3) or concentrated sodium hypochlorite. Let this stand for ½ - 1 hour. If this is not possible, clean the surface thoroughly with sodium hypochlorite solution (without leaving it to soak) or with a 70 % alcohol disinfectant. Put the paper and other materials used for cleaning, other paper and gloves that have been in contact with the spill in a plastic bag. Tie up the bag and dispose of it in the same way as for other biological materials. Finally, use an ordinary detergent for cleaning. Use common sense and knowledge about infection pathways and modes of transmission. Always keep in mind those who will take over the work after you; cleaning staff at the workplace and personnel at incineration plants. Reporting non-conformances and incidents All non-conformances/incidents involving genetically modified organisms must be reported to the person with responsibility for the subject area internally at the unit, to NTNU’s system for reporting non-conformances and incidents and in an email to the Directorate of Health, Avdeling for bioteknologi og helserett (Department of Biotechnology and Health Legislation), pbx160600ashb@helsedir.no. After exposure to biological factors (microorganisms) in hazard groups 3 and 4, as well as some factors in hazard group 2, employees/students must be registered in the exposure index.

For most units, an annual HSE process is required. The unit must allocate the necessary time to carry out the HSE process. The line manager is responsible for the completion of the HSE process and that prioritised measures are taken. The HSE process is one of several tools used by NTNU to systematically chart challenges related to health, safety and environment within the organization. The HSE process documents the process that is required under the Working Environment Act.

Possible methods include internal mapping, more detailed mappings in collaboration with the HSE Division, the Technical Department or other internal or external units, exposure measurements, risk assessments, subject meetings with employees and performance appraisals (currently in Norwegian). Minutes for HSE processes might be helpful for certain types of charting exercises. Post-meeting Go through, assess and prioritize measures for the challenges that were found in the pre-meeting and/or in the charting process. All problems that were uncovered in the HSE process must be recorded and processed in the nonconformity system. When you have recorded the problem or discrepency, it is important that you specify the nonconformity category as the "HSE process".

Working with biological agents
Mappe:
English
Work with biological materials (microorganisms, cell cultures and parasites) can result in infections, allergies or poisoning in people. Individuals who work with biological materials must familiarize themselves with risk analysis and local procedures for the work they carry out. Norsk versjon - Arbeid med biologiske faktorer Guidelines for managers in working enviroments with biological agents and materials Topic page about HSE | Pages labelled with HSE Innholdsfortegnelse [-] What are biological agents? Living biological materials Dead biological agents Genetically modified microorganisms Safety Handling and storage Disinfection Destruction/disposal If there is a problem Exposure index Help NTNU regulations Legislation Contact Approval/signature What are biological agents? Biological agents are living and dead microorganism, cell cultures, endoparasites and prions that can result in infections, allergies or poisoning in people. These materials may be unaltered or genetically modified. Living biological materials Living biological agents are classified using four infection risk categories based on the infection risk the materials pose. To protect workers from infection, biological agents can only be handled in laboratories and workshops that have been classified as containment levels 1 2, 3 or 4 (highest level). Infection risk groups and the minimum requirements for containment levels are described in the regulation Forskrift om tiltaks- og grenseverdier (in Norwegian). Dead biological agents Biological agents that are "dead" or were never alive, such as enzymes, proteins or amino acids, are still considered biological agents. These can result in allergic or toxic reactions. Genetically modified microorganisms Genetic engineering is a technique that involves isolating genetic material, characterizing it, modifying it and inserting it into living cells or viruses. Genetic engineering is regulated by the Genetic Engineering law (in Norwegian). The use of genetically modified organisms is governed by the Regulation on the contained use of genetically modified organisms (in Norwegian). Safety If you work with biological agents that are classified as risk groups 3 or 4 you must have complete protective clothing and ensure that you are working at an adequate containment level. Units should conduct risk assessments of activities that involve the handling of biological agents. Units that work with biological agents must also implement measures to eliminate or control all risks. Examples of these actions include: Building or technical containment measures/barriers (activities in the room which are separated from other activities, pressurized air zones, ventilation, fume hoods), specific routines, personal protective equipment, training and vaccinations. If the risk assessment shows that you could be exposed to biological agents, you should have a medical exam at the Occupational Health Services. If there are vaccines that can protect you from infection by the biological agents that you are exposed to, you will be offered a vaccine. Handling and storage You should be careful in handling microorganisms, because some can cause illness in humans (human pathogens).Sterile techniques are necessary to ensure the aseptic transfer of microorganisms, such as from a culture to another medium. The same applies to cell culture.When sampling, you should use sterilized single-use equipment or sterilized multiple-use equipment. Sterile technique can vary based on what you are working with, whether a bacterial culture or if you work with a cell culture at a security bench.Cleanliness and precision are important. These skills are also important in avoiding the contamination of the surrounding area. Clean your workplace well before you begin working. Clean and disinfect your workplace after you have used it.Destroy and dispose of all biological materials after your research is completed.Store biological agents, such as bacteria and cell lines, in carefully sealed, clearly marked containers in their own incubator or cabinet that is specifically designed for the job. Disinfection Disinfection is a process that kills most infectious bacteria and viruses. To prevent you or others from being infected, or to prevent potentially infectious agents from being spread to the environment, you should disinfect your work area before you clean it. You can read more about this in the laboratory and workshop handbook ch. 10.6. Destruction/disposal All equipment that has been in contact with biological agents should either be autoclaved before it is washed (reusable equipment) or should be disposed of in biohazard bags that have been marked as infectious wastes (disposable equipment) .Bacterial cultures in solution or the supernatant from centrifuging bacteria should be autoclaved and then disposed of as non-hazardous waste (empty the washwater under a fume hood). This does not apply to solutions that contain organic solvents. In this case, bacteria should be rendered harmless by adding lye. Agar plates with bacterial cultures should be autoclaved in autoclave bags and can afterward be disposed of in regular trash, or disposed of with hazardous waste, marked as infectious waste. If there is a problem Report an accident or a near-accident Exposure index Working with biological agents in infection risk groups 3 and 4 may imply registration in the Exposure index. Go to Exposure index to see what actions are necessary. To get into the index: Log into the substance index, click 'Administration' in the menu on the left side, and click 'Exposure'.

You must notify your manager as soon as possible, and your absence must be recorded in the Self-service portal. A condition for taking leave is that you need to be away from work so that you can take care of your child. For the first three days of the illness episode, you can send self-certification of absence ("egenmelding") for a sick child or childminder. From the fourth day of absence, a medical certificate that documents the child’s illness is required from Nav. If you are a new employee, you can receive paid leave if you are absent because your child or the person who looks after your child is ill. You must have then have started in the position, and in the first four weeks that you are employed in the position, you must submit a medical certificate from the first day of absence. A kindergarten strike is not a reason for absence that is regulated in accordance with applicable rules and agreements. In order to receive care benefits pursuant to section 9-5 of the National Insurance Act, there must be illness in children or childcare providers as a basis for care benefits. Strikes are not illness, and on this basis will not entitle you to care benefits when the kindergarten closes. Number of care benefit days 1 child: 10 days per year 2 children: 12 days per year 3 children or more: 15 days per year See info further down the page about extra days for you who are a single parent or have children with a chronic illness or disability. Your overview in the Self-service portal You will find the number of sick child days in the absence quota overview under the "time" tab in the Self Service Portal. If you are caring for two or more children, from 2023 you will have also received the quota "sick child extra days". You cannot use this until the ordinary sick child quota has been used up. Note that you must have registered your children in the profile fine to get the sick-child quota. Register absence in the Self-service portal Guide: Requests for absence (dfo.no) 1. To get the sick child quota, you must have registered your children in your profile. See guide: User profile (dfo.no). The profile will be updated during the night after you registered the change, so you will not see the quota for sick child days in the Self Service Portal until the next morning. 2. When registering a sick child day, send an absence application with the absence type "sick child 470". The form goes directly from you to your manager in the Self Service Portal. The rest column in the quota overview will decrease as your manager approves your absence applications. Single parents If you are a single parent caring for your child on your own, the number of care benefit days is doubled. Please notify the Service Center via the form "Endre fraværskvote" in NTNU Hjelp after you have registered your child in the Self-service portal. Chronic illness - Extended right to care benefit days If you have children with disabilities or with chronic illness, you may be entitled to an extra 10 days of care benefits for each of these children. You must then submit the decision from the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Organization (NAV) to document this right. Send the decision from NAV to the Service Center via the form "Endre fraværskvote" in NTNU Hjelp after you have registered your child in the Self-service portal. DO NOT send any sensitive information about your children. Send ONLY proof that NAV has made a decision. New employees You must have been employed for at least four weeks at NTNU to be entitled to use sick child days. In some cases, you can apply directly to NAV for money if you have a medical certificate and worked elsewhere before you started at NTNU. If you have had a break in your employment of more than 14 days due to leave, you must submit a medical certificate to use sick child day. Earning time and requirements for documentation If you are a new employee and have started the job, you are still entitled to receive pay during absence due to illness in a child or babysitter. In that case, however, you must submit a doctor’s certificate from the first day of the first four weeks of the employment relationship. If you have had a breach of employment for more than 14 days due to leave of absence, the same rules apply: for the first four weeks after you resume work, you must submit a doctor’s certificate from the first day. Sick child or childminder for part of the day In principle, you take a day of care benefits as a whole day. But it may be possible to divide the day between work and care of a child if your job allows this and your employer has approved it. When a total of one whole care day has been used, the full day must be registered in the Self-service portal. Training allowance If you care for a child with a long-term illness or a disability, you may be entitled to a training allowance ("opplæringspenger"). You will then be entitled to absence from work for training at an approved health institution that is necessary for you to take care of your child. The training must last for a whole working day during a week. You can apply for a training allowance from NAV. Remember to apply for absence in the Self Service Portal in case of training allowance. Register a request for leave, answer yes to the question "Do you know the type of leave?" and choose type of leave Training allowance 461.

This wiki page aims to inform all employees and students about the move process. The appointed working group for the move, had since autumn 2018, and following the general meetings in January 2019, been working to find solutions for new placement of groups and employees. On the 13th of February it was decided that AIT (IDI at Kalvskinnet) was to move to the IT building´s south wing (IT-Syd). The co-location of IDI is part of NTNU’s general co-location project. Both projects emphasise the importance of good processes for participation. Latest news 24.06.20: Experience with premises on hold due to campus closure spring / summer 2020 IDI staff and students had some months to experience function of new areas. But in mid-March 2020, the campus closed down due to Covid-19 and most people have been away and meet at Gløshaugen again in August. Further experience was postponed and to be taken up again during the autumn. Areas for use in the autumn of 2020 has been planned for, but there would be expected less space in more areas due to restrictions as the 1m distance requirements. Participation All students and staff are encouraged to participate in the IDI co-location project. Opportunities for participation are announced events and general meetings, as well as on invitations from the project to discuss the process. Fall 2018 IDI conducted a seminar at Oppdal with all employees. This was followed by general meetings to inform about the ongoing co-location process. IDI´s own working group (see chapter below) has discussed the co-location prosess in regular meetings. Participation for employees and students takes place in mainly the first three stages: Who works with the co-location process at IDI? The project group at IDI A project group has been established who works with the overall process: Picture of the project group for co-location at IDI, 2019.

Matters are brought back to meetings where we discuss solutions and arrive at a basis for decisions. Decisions are made in the project group, by John Krogstie, based on the working group’s work and discussions. The working group consists of the following people: Åsmund Haugse - Student Representative Gløshaugen Joakim Heitmann Tronseth - Student Representative Kalvskinnet Magnus Själander - Computing Bart Iver van Blokland - Temporary staff Mads Nygård - DART Babak Amin Farshchian - ISSE Birgit Sørgård – Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Stein Meisingseth / Hege Annette Olstad - HSE delegates Kalvskinnet Randi Holvik – HSE delegate Gløshaugen Alf Høiset - Technical group Meeting in the working group, Kalvskinnet march 2019.

Photo: Kjersti Lunden Nilsen Employee areas In order to put in place necessary individual workspaces, meeting rooms, laboratories, common functions etc., while IDI also have growth, a densification of people in the IT building was expectable. IDI has been looking at a more efficient utilization of the areas we already have available. This work takes place in parallel with work to secure the necessary teaching areas. Principles for the new office locations decided The project group of IDI decided on the 20th of March the following principles. All of the affected groups at IDI have been heard in this case. An overall assessment will be made in each case, based on the principles: Employees with special needs Leaders with personal responsibility Employees working especially with students, other colleagues and external relations Employees who need to use their phone or Skype on a regular basisIn week 48, 2019, IDI AIT moved from Kalvskinnet to new offices in IT building´s south wing (IT-Syd). According to schedule. Labs there wer also completed in November and ready for rigging and use. LOSAM meetings regarding office areas in IT building south wing 21.06.2019: IDI got approval from LOSAM (the Local Cooperation Committee) on the area plan of use of second floor offices at the IT building's south wing. Regarding use of common areas, lunch areas and workplaces. See attached office drawings at bottom og page. In LOSAM meeting October 2019 the working group at IDI presented our prosess and recieved support for the discussion regarding employee placement at IT-south offices. A very good and tidy process was the feedback for LOSAM. Agreed Principles of office placement and direct involvment with employees at AIT group was a key to a good process. Designing and rebuilding of the IT building's south wing In May and June, planning of how the areas both in Realfagbygget and IT building will be rebuilt was done in cooperation with engineers of various disciplines, NTNU and user representatives from IDI. Big and small details of the rooms have been carefully reviewed. Contractors was invited to at meeting June 19th, and inspected the areas, before a following competition between contractors was held and choice of contractors was made. Rebuilding started August 19th 2019 and will continue through fall 2019. IT South wing is to be finished by November 1st. Rooms concerned is a new "VisualiseringsLab", "E-LæringsLab" og "SamhandlingsLab" ("Visualization Lab", "E-Learning Lab" and "Collaboration Lab" in the basement (room 015 and 043), and some minor rebuilding project in office areas at the second floor. AIT group from Kalvskinnet was to move in week 48, 2019. See drawings of all rooms at bottom of page, attachments. The computer museum (Datamuseet), which was earlier in room 043, had to move and was temporary stored at the IT building. The museum's former location became the new VisualiztionLab and E-learningLab in late 2019. The computer museum will likely be re-established at a new location at NTNU. Rebuilding in IT south got along well and weekly building meeting and good coordination between workers was essential to keep schedule. The remodeling of IT South was completed in November 2019. The new office space and labs was rebuilt and furnished for IDI AIT to move in as planned in week 48, 2019. The project had an inspecton of the office space November 8th and labs November 14th. A few small issued were noted and fixed shortly after. A few in offices and some at Visualization Lab, E-learning Lab and the Collaboration Lab. Student areas Teaching continued at Kalvskinnet until the end of the semester, autumn 2019. Students started at Gløshaugen in January 2020, when new learning areas in Realfagbygget was ready for use. Alongside the co-location, IDI and IE faculty worked on solutions for more student workplaces. . Reconstruction of teaching areas at Realfagbygget A-block The study administration had before building, checked that there will be enough space in Realfagbygget for the teaching at IDI for spring 2020. The case was discussed in the steering committee of SAMLOK at NTNU 5 April 2019. (simulation for the autumn semester 2020 was expected afterwards). Rebuilding of the teaching areas in the Realfag building (A-block) started June 11th and was mainly done during the summer of 2019, to avoid disturbance for students and teaching activities. There was some work in August to complete the work. The reconstructed rooms are in the second and fourth floor, rooms A2-121 (R52), A2-127, A2-098 and A4-112. Completion of AV equipment and furnishing was done in desember in mentioned rooms. AV by week 51 and furnishing in week 49, 2019. Some new furniture og some as good as new, reused. This work was done after teaching ended to minimize inconvenience for students. Areas were mostly available for students, but the rooms needed to be finished before start of semester in January and we apologize for possible inconvenience it may caused students. Other student area projects at IDI Drivhuset at IT-Syd:IDI applied to remodel in start of fall 2019, and the work started early in November and lasted through winter and spring of 2020. While staff and students were away from campus in the spring, furniture delivery delays were completed. The area is now become more suitable for student work, with better furnishings and an interior with focus on good workiing environment. A separate reading area with 57 seats is for 2020 and remaining area of approx 50 seats is arranged with group seating and meeting rooms. Drivhuset is reserved for 4th-level master's students at IDI, for now. But IDI will follow up on usage and necessity for areas regarding students on other levels. Meeting rooms 119B and 119C at the end of Drivhuset is equipped with Skype infrastructure. See drawing of new Drivhuset below at "Documents and attachments". "Gamle Fysikk" 3rd floor: IDI gained new space at "Gamle Fysikk" building from January 2020 and established about 90 new seats for master students (primarily 5th level). Some master rooms at IT-building, west, were transferred here to accommodate increased number of temporary staff at IDI. This has contributed to a better coverage of spaces for master students in total.

This varies depending on which country you are going to and how long you are going to be away. Contact NAV Oppfølging utland for information about Norway's National Insurance arrangements well before you travel abroad. In the peak season, the administrative procedures can take 3-6 months. Social security abroad When you are going to work abroad for NTNU, you should apply to NAV for confirmation that you retain your membership in “the Norwegian national social security scheme”. Apply for confirmation of membership well in advance of departure. Please note that the processing time for this application is between 4 and 12 weeks. The application is sent via your faculty to Nav international. Remember that you must apply for your whole family if they are to join. For work executed within a EU/EEA country, membership in the Norwegian national social security scheme normally applies while working for NTNU abroad. • Norway has social security agreements with several other countries (In Norwegian) – nav.no• Read more about the cases where Norwegian National Insurance membership does not apply (in Norwegian) – nav.no What the National Insurance Scheme covers Check what the National Insurance coversWhat if I am not a member of the National Insurance Scheme? Social security agreements with other countries If you work in an EEA country or Switzerland, you should be covered by the social security arrangements in the country in question. However, please note that there are exceptions (pdf). European Health Insurance Card To be entitled to necessary medical care in the European Economic Area (EEA) and in Switzerland, you must obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Order the card in good time before your departure, because it may take up to 10 days before it arrives in the post. Family members and social security Family members are automatically members of the National Insurance Scheme for stays abroad lasting less than 12 months. However, they may not work while they are living in the country where you have your sabbatical. For longer stays, family members who are dependents may be covered by the National Insurance Scheme. The family member must have been a member of the National Insurance Scheme for 3 of the last 5 calendar years before the application is submitted. Checklist for spouse/partner Are you covered by the National Insurance Scheme when you are with your spouse/partner, or do you have to apply yourself? See NAV's checklist (in Norwegian) if you plan to accompany a researcher during a period of study abroad. Insurance through NTNU As an employee, you are included in "NTNU's group life insurance" - also when you are abroad. Personal insurance during a sabbatical It may be a good idea to buy personal travel insurance to supplement the coverage provided by the National Insurance Scheme or equivalent rights in other countries. Personal insurance may cover areas such as: Transport back home Health problems Theft AccidentsAs a minimum, you should buy insurance to cover transport home in case of illness or death. Also note that travel insurance policies may have a limited period of coverage. Make sure that you are covered for the entire sabbatical period.

Frequently asked questions about framework agreements
Mappe:
English
On this page you will find answers to some of the most asked questions about NTNU's framework agreements. Norsk versjon: Ofte stilte spørsmål om rammeavtaler Innholdsfortegnelse [-] General questions User groups Conducting competitions Also see Contact General questions Why are framework agreements necessary? When NTNU collectively spends over 100,000 kroner (kr., NOK) annually on a product or service, it triggers compliance with public procurement regulations. In these instances, we must either establish framework agreements for the entire organization or conduct individual competitions each time we need to procure this type of product or service. Given the significant time and resources this would require, opting for framework agreements is often the preferred solution. Moreover, this approach can offer economic benefits for NTNU. As a large organization, we can often secure more favorable prices and advantages through framework agreements compared to individual purchases. Some of the framework agreements we have today include catering, PCs and PC equipment, flowers, rental cars, and credit cards – to name a few. A full overview of all our current agreements are available in NTNUs Contract Catalogue. (All employees have access to this catalogue, but you need to use NTNUs network or VPN to get access.) Are employees required to use NTNU’s framework agreements? Yes, generally speaking, they are. Exceptions to using these agreements are rare and only allowed under specific circumstances. This occurs when the suppliers we have agreements with cannot fulfill our requirements. In such cases, the purchase must undergo a separate competitive bidding process. If you require a product or service that is not provided by existing suppliers under an agreement, please fill out the procurement form in NTNU Hjelp (in Norwegian). Your request will be handled by a procurement advisor in the Financial Division. Why is it not possible to have more than one supplier per agreement? We can, and in many cases, we do have multiple suppliers in a single agreement. The number of suppliers we have per agreement is assessed on a case-by-case basis. It depends, among other things, on the scope of what needs to be delivered and the value of the procurement. An example of a framework agreement with multiple sub-contracts is our catering contract for meetings, overtime and events. We also have similar agreements with multiple suppliers in consulting, craftsmanship services, and hotel accommodation – to name a few. The design of a framework agreement is typically a decision made by the Procurement and Purchasing Section in collaboration with a user group composed of NTNU colleagues with the necessary expertise in what we are procuring. In some cases, the section also holds hearings for leaders at NTNU, so that they are able to provide input. I have been offered a lower price for something I need to purchase from a supplier other than the one NTNU has an agreement with. Can I buy from the supplier with the lowest price? No. If NTNU has a framework agreement that covers what you need to purchase, this must be used. Price and costs are always important factors when NTNU enters into new framework agreements. But, as a public organization, we must also ensure that the procurements we make are environmentally friendly and sustainable, socially beneficial, ethical, and contribute to preventing work-related crimes. In other words, the price of individual goods and services are important, but this is only part of the overall picture when we evaluate potential suppliers in a new agreement. How does NTNU facilitate the participation of small businesses in the purchases we make? One way we do this is by using multiple sub-contracts within the same agreement. Instead of one large contract, the procurement is divided into smaller parts so that more suppliers can compete. In some competitions, we have also opted to include a minimum number of small and medium-sized businesses. Our goal in doing so is to provide more opportunities for smaller suppliers to win the competition. In other agreements, we see that several small and medium sized businesses have joined forces and compete together. In some cases, they may also be affiliated with larger companies as subcontractors in NTNU's framework agreements. How long does a framework agreement last? Framework agreements cannot have a duration of more than four years. Usually, the agreements we enter into lasts for two years, with the option to extend them for up to an additional two years. There are instances when framework agreements are terminated before the initial two-year period ends. This might occur if we've purchased more through the agreement than anticipated, if our needs have changed, or if the deliveries we receive are unsatisfactory. What should I do if I am not satisfied with one of the suppliers NTNU has an agreement with? If you encounter issues with specific assignments, we advise you to communicate directly with the supplier. Attempt to reach a mutual agreement with them and provide them with the chance to correct any mistakes. If there are persistent errors and deficiencies, please contact the Financial Division. The Procurement and Purchasing Section values feedback to address concerns with the supplier during the agreement period. The section can also provide assistance with complaints that cannot be resolved locally. When a framework agreement is entered into, what should I do with existing agreements that have been made by my unit at NTNU and that covers the same need? If you have a specific agreement where there are assignments that have already been ordered and are well underway, this should be completed with the existing supplier. General agreements, however, must be terminated. User groups What does it mean to be part of a user group? When we are entering into new framework agreements, we usually involve a user group throughout the process. Their main task is to assist the procurement advisor in the Financial Division in formulating the requirements we should set for the supplier and in evaluating the various offers that have been received. User groups are important to us in this process. The employees who participate contribute with necessary professional expertise, and their input helps ensure that we hit the mark when drafting the agreement, in specifying the requirements, and evaluating the various suppliers. There are usually up to five participants in each group, but there may be as many as six to eight if there is significant interest. All invitations are posted in the channel Btb-informasjon on Innsida. In some cases, they are also announced in other channels, depending on the subject matter of the new agreement and who it will involve. How much time should one expect to spend as a participant in a user group? This will vary depending on the scope of the procurement. In all agreements, there will be a fair number of meetings. This especially applies in the initial phase when we are determining the requirements for the relevant goods or services and for the suppliers. There are also some meetings in the evaluation phase after the competition has concluded. In addition to meetings, there may also be some tasks for the participants during the process. An example of this can be to do a quality check on the documents before an agreement is publicly announced. To summarize, each agreement will require a significant time commitment for those participating in user groups. However, we still encourage everyone who has the opportunity and the professional knowledge about the procurement to participate when appropriate and when they have the opportunity to do so. Their contributions will be important to ensure that NTNU will obtain a good agreement. Conducting competitions What is a mini-competition? Certain agreements involving multiple suppliers may stipulate competition among them under specific conditions. For example, this could be required for assignments that are over a certain value. The threshold for triggering a "mini-competition" can vary; for instance, it might be required for assignments over kr. 100,000 excluding VAT in some cases, while in others, it could be assignments over kr. 1.3 million excluding VAT. In most of NTNU's agreements with multiple suppliers, we're obligated to ensure a nearly equal distribution of assignments in terms of monetary value among them. However, contracts secured through mini-competitions are exempt from this distribution requirement. You can read more about mini-competitions and how they are conducted on the procurement process’ website (in Norwegian). My unit is going to purchase a product or service, and NTNU has a framework agreement that covers this. However, the amount will be over kr. 100,000 excluding VAT. Does that mean that we need to hold a mini-competition first? No. The requirement for mini-competitions only applies to certain framework agreements. If it applies to the agreement you are going to use, this will be clearly stated on the agreement's page in the Contract Catalogue. When NTNU has a framework agreement in place, standard spending thresholds for public procurement no longer apply. Without such an agreement, we are obligated to conduct a competition for purchases exceeding kr. 100,000 annually. For purchases under kr. 100,000, a simplified procurement process is followed (in Norwegian). Purchases over kr. 1.3 million must adhere to Part I ("Del I") regulations. With a framework agreement, the necessary competition has already been conducted in the market. Therefore, we can proceed with orders from the framework supplier without initiating a new competition. The product we need to purchase is covered by a framework agreement, but the value is likely to be more than kr. 1.3 million. Does this mean a separate competition must be conducted? No. When NTNU has a framework agreement in place, the standard monetary thresholds dictating when a purchase must undergo procurement procedures does not apply. This is because the framework agreement has been pre-negotiated, and a competition has already been carried out in the market. Orders through framework agreements are made via the purchase request form on ntnu.no.

Safety Exposure to hazardous dust should first and foremost be prevented by technical measures like fume hoods. If the risk assessment concludes that safety measures and use of personal protective equipment are necessary, such equipment must be available and in accordance with regulations. Make sure that you have adequate training and the necessary information to perform your work in a good and safe way. Be aware that certain types of dust can be inflammable, explosive or particularly hazardous to the health. For example, wood dust is labelled as carcinogenic by the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority. Dust from certain types of rock can also be radioactive and/or carcinogenic. If you are exposed to hazardous dust you will, based on the risk assessment, be offered a medical examination. Occupational Health Services can provide assistance with this assessment. Allergies and respiratory disease If you inhale hazardous dust, you might develop allergies or respiratory disease. Allergies and diseases are developed over time and to different extents in different people. If you are already allergic, you are very likely to develop more allergies. Consequently, you should make sure to work in ways that create as little spreading of dust as possible. Use a face shield if you cannot avoid hazardous dust in the air. Questions regarding the HSE process What is the unit doing to reduce exposure to dust for both people and the work area?Can the unit's dust induce allergies or toxicity?How does the unit ensure satisfactory storage and disposal of dust?How are discharges of possibly hazardous dust prevented?Which procedures does the unit have to ensure that a medical examination is offered in case of suspected adverse health effects?

The environmental ambition defines specific objectives within energy consumption, waste, procurement and transport. General environmental objectives "NTNU shall be a leading university in utilising knowledge from its research in its own practice, to secure a environmentally sound activity throughout. This entails that we need to have full control over the environmental impact of our activity, and to make our employees, students and the outside world aware of this.NTNU shall at all times have specific objectives for reducing environmental impact." Subsidiary objectives for transport "NTNU shall arrange for employees and students to have access to environmentally friendly means of transport in their every day journey to and from the university campuses." Measures to promote environmentally friendly transport solutions: Carpooling, company buss passes, electric bikes, etc. should take care of service transport Better conditions for cyclists, including more bike sheds and changing rooms Free parking for electric cars Contact Trouble with the SmartPark app or trouble with activating a parking agreement, contact Trondheim Parkering AS: post@trondheimparkering.no/ 73 10 98 80Questions related to parking rules: Contact Custodial Service or kontakt@eiendom.ntnu.no

This page contains NTNU's "Procedure for reporting deviations in education and learning environment". The procedure is mandated in Guideline - report and follow up deviations - education quality, which is a part of NTNU's Quality system for education. Decided by: Director of the Education Quality DivisionValid from: 1 January 2023 Main page: Guideline - report and follow up deviations - education quality | Education QualityNorsk versjon: Prosedyre - melde avvik - utdanning og læringsmiljø Innholdsfortegnelse [-] Purpose Scope and anchoring Definition Deviation Limitations Procedure for reporting deviations Further processing See also This is a procedure that describes the process for how staff and students should report deviations concerning education and learning environment at NTNU. NB! Reports concerning notifications of grave and unacceptable conditions in connection with education and learning environment (i.e. bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, violence etc.) shall not be reported as deviations in EQS, but must rather be reported and registered through the form for notification of censurable conditions. Before reporting deviations in education and learning environment, it is important that you have tried to solve the issue at the lowest possible level by providing your input and suggestions of improvement through NTNU’s ordinary channels: As a student, you can provide feedback and input through student participation, either directly to your teacher, through evaluations or via the student democracy. Your student advisor, teacher, course coordinator or student union representative will all be able to guide you regarding the various options you have for participation. As a member of staff, you can provide your feedback regarding necessary changes in subjects and study programs through dialogue within the relevant academic environment, via the study program councils or in evaluation reports. If these actions do not have the desired outcome, you may report a deviation in accordance with the guidelines for notification, handling and follow up of deviations in education and learning environment at NTNU. Purpose The purpose of the procedure is to help ensure that all deviations are reported in a way that enables the responsible units at NTNU to follow up and implement measures that will contribute to further development and improvements, or that will remove the cause of the deviation and prevent it from happening again. Scope and anchoring The procedure applies to all units, staff and students at NTNU. Definition Deviation See the guidelines for notification, follow up and handling of deviations in education and learning environment for definitions in connection with this procedure. Limitations Alerts concerning grave and unacceptable conditions in education or learning environment shall not be reported as deviations in EQS. Examples of such incidents include bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, violence, threats, threatening behaviour etc. Please refer to this page for further information about grave and unacceptable conditions and how you can report this at NTNU. If you are in doubt what to do, or how you can report such incidents, you may request a conversation with one of the following bodies, who are all bound by duties of confidentiality: Students: Student advisor, the student ombuds or SiT counselling servicesStaff: Your immediate supervisor, a union representative, HR-services or NTNU’s Occupational Health Services Procedure for reporting deviations It will be easier for the concerned unit to follow up on the case if you briefly describe in what way you have earlier tried to report the issue through regular channels. Then describe as accurately as possible what has happened, where it happened and how it happened. It is good if you also have concrete suggestions in terms of possible improvements or corrective measures. This is how you report a deviation in EQS: Go to NTNU’s SpeakUp!-portal and click on the tab «education quality and learning environment». Click the button «Report a deviation in education and learning environment». You will now enter a separate EQS tool website. Fill in all the fields that appear on the form. The form is dynamic and the choices you make while filling it in will affect the contents. Fields marked with a red star are mandatory, and must be filled in. The explanatory text that is connected to some fields will appear if you hover the mouse pointer over the ?-symbol. Choose “CATEGORY” according to what you want to report. When you have filled in all the fields, click on «REGISTER REPORT». You will shortly receive a receipt by e-mail with your case number, confirming that your report has been received and the estimated timeframe for case processing. You can follow the proceedings and the status of your cases in the EQS deviation system under “My messages” on the EQS website. Further processing The deviation report is forwarded to your faculty based on your Feide-identity. The notification recipient at your faculty is responsible for assessing whether your case should be handled by the local unit and by who (case worker) or if it should be forwarded to another unit/case worker. Upon receipt of the report, the case worker will set a deadline for when the case is presumed completed and closed, which must be in accordance with the provisions of the Public Administration Act § 11a . You will receive an e-mail from “EQS NTNU” when your case is completed and closed. If your case is rejected, you will receive an e-mail from EQS NTNU explaining the reason for this.

How to submit your mobility grant settlement
Mappe:
English
Within one month after you return from a sabbatical leave/academic travel, you need to submit a financial settlement through the self-service portal. Norsk: Oppgjør etter forskningstermin og stipendreiser Topic:Sabbatical leave Keep track of your expenses You can register expenses and receipts during your stay to keep track of expenses. You can either use the Self-Service Portal in your browser or download the DFØ app to your mobile. Follow the instructions further on this page. How to submit the settlement in the Self-service portal To complete the registration of the expense report, you must have the following documentation: your grant confirmation letter completed and signed commuter declaration form (xlsx) rent contract and receipts of paid rentfirst outbound triplast return trip to Norwaymoving costsentry costs (visa, vaccine, medical examination, etc.)possibly: return travels in connection with commuting (receipts must be enclosed to assess whether you meet the conditions for being a commuter). paid-up policy (applies to NTNU's mobility grant / sabbatical)educational grants (applies to NTNU's mobility grant / sabbatical)You must apply to NIRS for a paid-up policy and educational grant. Add the confirmation from NIRS to the settlement. Log in and find your form Log in to the Self-service portal - Choose English in the upper right corner Use your Feide username and password (same as you use elsewhere at NTNU). Go to the «Travel» tile If you submitted your travel application in the Self-Service Portal before your stay From 2023 onwards, you will use the Self-Service Portal before and after the sabbatical. Before your stay, send the form "Register travel application and advance". Go to Travel advance mobility grant for more information. To start registering expense claims, you can find your travel request in the Self-Service Portal and convert it to a travel expense claim. How to convert a travel request to a travel expense claimYou have now received a travel expense claim ready to be completed. Follow the instructions from "Expense report step by step". If your stay started before 2023 If you have not submitted a travel request in the Self-Service Portal, create a new expense claim in the Self-Service Portal by clicking on the blue "+ Create New" button in the lower left corner. You will then receive an expense report form in five steps. The expense claim step by step Step 1 – Itinerary Dates: If you are going to register several travel expense reports during your academic stay, you should enter a fictitious date here. This is because the Self-Service Portal does not allow you to have multiple expense claims in the same period. Write your real dates in step 5 comments. Purpose: Write what the trip is about, such as sabbaticals or academic stays. Country/Region and Location: Write where your stay was. If multiple locations, select + Add new destination. Type of trip: Choose No tax dorm/flat/priv w kitchen Cost allocation: If the cost of your stay is to be covered by the workplace you work in daily, leave it as "standard". If the expenses will be entered on a specific project, check "other" and find the Work order K7 field. Type UV in the field and you will see a list of project numbers and names. The subproject number to be filled in here will usually be found in the grant confirmation letter. If you submitted the travel application in the Self-Service Portal, the cost allocation from the application will automatically be filled in in the expense report. If you don’t know what number to write, you can ask your financial officer for externally funded projects and controller for internal projects or talk to your immediate manager. Step 2: Allowances Skip this step. You should not tick the box for select subsistence allowance, as this is normally not covered by mobility grants/sabbaticals. Step 3: Expenses Select + Add new expense post for each expense You can choose between two different types: Grant reimb. w/doc. No tax used for documented expenses. You make one line per expense you have had, and then you enter the field "Description". Upload vouchers for all expenses you enter here. Grant reimb. w/o doc. Tax used for undocumented expenses. If you have not spent the entire awarded grant, you must enter the remaining portion of the grant under this expense type. This is then reported as a deductible grant and taxed.Description: Travel expenses: Specify in the field for description what applies to the first trip to / last trip from the stay. Rent: Specify the rental period and attach a receipt. You upload the rental contract in step 4. Cost allocation: This gives you a new opportunity to charge a special project for specific expenses outside of the allocation. If all expenses are to be charged to the allocation, tick "same cost allocation as trip in general”. Attachments: Upload receipt for each expense. Step 4: Attachments Here you'll find the attachments you uploaded in step 3. In addition, you will need to upload other documentation: Assure that you include all attachments in addition to the one you uploaded in step 3. Step 5: Comments • State your place of residence/country and actual start and end date of your travel/length of stay abroad, in order to calculate accurately awarded mobility grants. The amount allocated for travel expenses is calculated based on the enclosed expenses for the first outbound trip and the last return trip. • Write whether the expense report is a grant, settlement, academic travel, mobility grant or advance. • Check whether a travel advance has been paid earlier before payment, so that the service center can register this in the payroll system. In some cases, when settling academic travels, a difference between an undocumented share of the allocation may arise. This difference must then be registered by the grant recipient as "grants without vouchers subject to tax deduction". Enclose confirmation of the amount allocated, e.g. in the form of a letter of allocation or other confirmation. At NTNU's mobility grant/sabbatical, the Service Centre can assist with calculating and register any undocumented share of the grant for disbursement. Finally, tap "Go to submissions page." The form will then be sent to your immediate manager or employee with budget allocation authority (BDM).

NTNU's Policy for quality and development of the study programme portfolio. Decided by: RectorValid from: 26 June 2019 Main page: Strategies and governing documents | Education Quality at NTNUNorsk versjon: Politikk for kvalitet i og utvikling av studieporteføljen Innholdsfortegnelse [-] Purpose Scope Terminology Graduate Quality culture Quality area Study programme portfolio Overarching principles Quality in the programme portfolio Quality areas Strategic importance One university in three cities Learning environment Academic sustainability Financial sustainability Roles and responsibilities About the policy References Internal document classification See also Download Purpose The Policy for Quality and Development of the Study Programme Portfolio is intended to help ensure high quality in the portfolio as a whole, in the programmes, and in stimulating each student’s personal development. The aim of the policy is to support NTNU’s strategy and provide a basis for making good strategic choices that strengthen the quality of the programme portfolio and each programme of study. The policy is to foster a culture of quality in areas that are important to the student’s learning outcomes. Scope The policy applies to all areas of activity and organizational units. Terminology Graduate A graduate is a student who has completed a degree-conferring programme of study; see the Regulations for degrees and protected titles. The Policy for Quality and Development of the Study Programme Portfolio also applies to students who have completed one-year programmes and further education programmes. Quality culture Quality culture refers to fostering shared values and standards aimed at high quality. In addition, quality culture is associated with principles such as inclusiveness, transparency and openness, and co-determination. Quality area A quality area is a thematic area to which NTNU gives priority in order to ensure high quality in study programmes and the programme portfolio. Each quality area has a set of requirements that go beyond the regulatory requirements, and these must be emphasized in the establishment, continuation, change and closure of study programmes. Study programme portfolio The study programme portfolio consists of all credit-bearing educational offerings and includes all degree-granting programmes, further education programmes, one-year programmes and individual courses. Overarching principles Development of the study programme portfolio must take place within the framework and overarching principles specified in legislation, regulations, political guidelines and NTNU’s strategy. Among these, a special position is held by the Regulations concerning supervision of educational quality in higher education (studietilsynsforskriften). These regulations specify that NTNU’s systematic quality assurance work in the area of education must be grounded in NTNU’s strategy, and that all areas significant to the quality of students’ learning outcomes are covered. The aim of the systematic processes is to promote a culture of quality among staff and students. Results from the quality assurance work must be included in the knowledge base in connection with assessment and strategic development of the institution’s total programme portfolio. NTNU’s strategy provides clear guiding principles for the development of the programme portfolio. The strategy specifies the selected priority areas to be emphasized in order to meet the challenges of the future. Quality in the programme portfolio NTNU’s special mission is to be a broad-based university with a main profile in science and technology, with interdisciplinary strength and a focus on programmes of professional study. Artistic disciplines play a key role in NTNU’s identity, and NTNU has a special responsibility to be a prominent actor in the cities and regions where we have our primary activities. NTNU’s distinctive character should govern the development of the programme portfolio and be expressed in the learning outcome descriptions for the programmes and courses. The basic prerequisites for the development of high quality in education are that the study programmes are relevant to the workplace of the future and contribute to creating a sustainable society, offer a positive learning environment, are grounded in good academic environments of sufficient size, are internationally oriented and stimulate interdisciplinary collaboration. The academic communities must have a high level of academic competence and teaching competence as well as relevant experience from the working world. The policy aims to contribute to the development of a quality culture and to promote shared values and a common understanding of what is expected from each educational offering. It provides a basis for making strategic choices about the development of quality in the study programme portfolio. Educational leaders must create a basis for effective internal processes that involve staff and students. NTNU’s system for quality of education describes roles, responsibilities, tasks and processes. Quality areas NTNU has chosen to give priority to five quality areas within education: strategic importance, one university in three cities, learning environment, academic sustainability, and financial sustainability. The list below shows which level in the organization is responsible for follow-up and decisions on measures related to each quality area. Strategic importance (NTNU Board, Rector and Faculty) One university in three cities (NTNU Board, Rector, Faculty and Department)Learning environment (NTNU Board, Rector, Faculty and Department)Academic sustainability (Faculty and Department)Financial sustainability (Faculty and Department) Strategic importance Strategic importance entails an assessment of the societal rationale and importance of the study programmes, contributions to realizing the UN Sustainable Development Goals, relevance to NTNU’s strategic development and follow-up of national policies. It is emphasized that: Graduates have competence that is important for the workplace of the future and a sustainable society.Internationally outstanding environments in research and art contribute to the programme portfolio, especially in master’s and PhD education.Further education programmes and collaborative programmes with other educational institutions are developed as part of the whole programme portfolio.The programme portfolio contributes to an appropriate distribution of work in the sector. One university in three cities A study programme offered in several student cities should have the same learning outcome descriptions and learning environments on an equal footing. The programme portfolio should support internal distribution of work and showcase the strengths of the regions.It is emphasized that: Cooperation and further development of competence in the academic communities ensures consistent quality in all the student cities.The study programmes take advantage of and support the complementary strengths and distinctive features of their regions.Pedagogical use of digital tools helps to ensure programmes of equivalent quality in all the student cities.An integrated and coherent learning environment is based on collective identity and local culture building. Learning environment Creating a high-quality learning environment involves an assessment of whether digital, physical, organizational, educational, and psychosocial factors provide positive conditions for student learning and achievement of expected learning outcomes. Management, employees and students have a shared responsibility for the development of the learning environment.It is emphasized that: The study programmes have a holistic perspective on the learning environment and the student’s academic development.The study programmes and infrastructure create a foundation for good academic and social collaboration between students and staff.The learning environment is characterized by student engagement and sound structures for student democracy. Academic sustainability Academic sustainability involves an assessment of the academic communities' foundation for and ability to develop and implement future-oriented education of high quality and relevance. The quality, size, activity and focus on development of the academic communities within both research and education form the foundation of the programme portfolio.It is emphasized that: Programmes of study are anchored in the academic environment with the greatest academic activity in relevant disciplines. Courses are conducted by academic environments with relevant competence. Learning activities and assessment methods are grounded in pedagogical research.Evaluation and development activities at both programme and course level take place in collaboration between students and staff.A foundation is provided to support academic progress until completion of the doctoral degree. Financial sustainability Financial sustainability entails an assessment of finances and use of resources in the programme, including teaching, learning and staff resources. Appropriate distribution of work and use of resources should prevent overlap between study programmes. It is emphasized that: As a general rule, study programmes should be financially sustainable – that is, they should be fully funded.Academic collaboration is given priority over internal competition.Study programmes have low non-continuation rates and high progression rates. Roles and responsibilities The policy is intended to help ensure high quality in the programme portfolio and provide a basis for making choices. NTNU’s system for quality of education defines roles, responsibilities, tasks, and follow-up processes for quality assurance. The quality assurance system describes which tools are available and which documents are included.
