2025

In this month's editorial, Dean Anne Julie Semb reflects on some of the issues discussed when working on a new distribution model for the Faculty. 

This month, the government presented a new system report for Norwegian research and development work. Research Dean Lars Tjelta Westlye believes the report can be read as a valuable insight into the complex international political climate in which our researchers operate.

The rector election at UiO is approaching, and the dean encourages all staff and students to exercise their right to vote.

AI has caused uncertainty and fear among both educators and students. Educators are afraid that students will use AI to cheat on exams, while students fear being accused of cheating even if they did not intend to do so. At the Faculty of Social Sciences, we have established a working group to explore various aspects of AI and propose guidelines for its use in teaching and assessment at our faculty.
