28 May, 2014 Centre leader report for Management Board meeting 17 June 2014 Activity has again concentrated on getting the Centre established and known. Since the last Centre management Board (26 March 2014). Appointments Project Manager, Line Eielsen Malde began on 1 April. Line is making an excellent impact, as an ambassador for MatRIC, managing projects and negotiating arcane administrative procedures. Our goal over the last two months has been to get Line known throughout UiA, and known throughout the Norwegian university/university college mathematics community. I believe, we have been successful in achieving this. PhD Fellowship. The Management Board has been informed about the announcement for a MatRIC PhD Fellowship within the ADILA project. Three candidates were interviewed for the position, one of whom was recommended to the University Appointments Committee. Post Doc. Three candidates were found qualified for the MatRIC Post doc. position, one of the candidates was very well qualified. He has recently completed a PhD in Sweden related to teaching mathematics at university level. This one candidate has been invited for interview 12‐13 June. Two further PhD fellowships in mathematics education have been made available. At least one of these will be within MatRIC, it could be both depending on the candidates and the interests they express. It is hoped that these will be announced in the next few days, we need to work hard to make these opportunities known and attract strong candidates from Norway, Scandinavia and internationally. Dissemination MatRIC has been presented at several events since the last management board: bioCEED launch (SFU) at University of Bergen 30 April. -
Molde University College to Join the Uarctic Network
Molde, 17.02.2021 To: University of the Arctic Letter of Intent for Molde University College to join the UArctic network Molde University College – Specialized University in Logistics (MUC or HiMolde) wishes to become a member of the University of the Arctic (UArctic) network. MUC offers a variety of international study programs (in English) on a bachelor, master, and Ph.D. levels in the areas of Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Sustainable Energy Logistics, Maritime Logistics and Economics, Petroleum Logistics, Sustainable Transport, Economics and Business Administration, Social Change, Organization and Management, and many others. Since 2016, MUC has initiated and ran the UTFORSK project Logistical and environmental management of natural resources, development, and transportation in the Arctic area supported by Diku. The project involved several Norwegian partners (Centre for High North Logistics, SINTEF Ocean, and Møreforsking Molde) and Russian partners (Gubkin University, Higher School of Economics, St. Petersburg State University, and Russian Academy of Sciences) with whom MUC started collaborating within Petroleum Logistics in 2013.

The course has attracted a large audience of both students of MUC and visiting students from partner- universities. MUC actively participates in Summer Schools on Arctic Logistics arranged at Gubkin University. Also, certain topics and guest lectures relevant to the specifics of logistics operations in the Arctic region are included in numerous courses in Logistics at MUC. Since 2017, MUC has been arranging regular (twice a year) research workshops on Arctic Logistics both in Russia and Norway. -
Research and Innovation Strategy for Møre Og Romsdal 2016-2020
A manifest partner Research and Innovation Strategy for Møre og Romsdal 2016-2020 Research and innovation strategy 2016-2020 2 FOREWORD Foreword The region of Møre og Romsdal is currently in a period of change. The regional authority has therefore developed a research and innovation strategy to meet the challenges faced by businesses in the region. This strategy has been compiled by applying the "Smart Specialisation" method, in which the interaction between businesses, research groups and the public support system is a central aspect. The region of Møre og Romsdal has been awarded a place on a European Commission study together with sev- eral other regions in Europe, and the study involving Møre og Romsdal comprises part of the knowledge platform on which the new strategy has been based. The fact that our region has been studied and assessed by external parties eliminates any reservations that our new strategy has been based on myths and theories that cannot be documented. The analyses that were part of the study provided us with excellent guidelines in terms of both content and process for the strategy, and these have broadly been followed in the strategy process. The strategy document shows us what our target areas must be if we are to ensure competitive businesses for the future. These are in principle as follows: • A general need for change and a higher rate of inno- vation within businesses. • A reduction in petroleum-related activities with con- sequences for large parts of the maritime industry. • The green shift and its requirements on sustainability and reduced environmental impact. -
Project Estimation in the Norwegian Software Industry – a Summary
Project Estimation in the Norwegian Software Industry – A Summary Kjetil Moløkken1, 2, Magne Jørgensen1, Sinan S. Tanilkan2, Hans Gallis1, Anette C. Lien1, Siw E. Hove1.

Box 134 NO-1325, Lysaker, Norway Telephone: +47 67 88 82 00 Telefax: +47 37 82 82 01 Executive Summary This report provides an overview of the results obtained from a survey on project estimation in Norwegian software companies. The survey was conducted between February and November 2003. The main results are: • We observed that 76% of the projects used more effort than estimated, while 19% used less. The average effort overrun was 41%. • Average effort overrun was 67% in projects with a public client, compared to an average effort overrun of 21% for projects with a private client. • Projects that used an incremental or evolutionary development approach had an average effort overrun of 24%, as opposed to the average 55% overrun for projects that used a waterfall-based development approach. The frequency and magnitude of effort overruns found in this survey seems to be similar to results reported from surveys conducted in other countries in the past 20 years. The observed differences in effort overruns between private and public projects may be caused by differences in bidding procedures, level of client involvement or acceptance procedures. In order to reduce the risk of effort overruns, software companies should: • Focus on analyzing their own estimation performance, and invest in estimation improvement (for instance through experience databases or work breakdown structures). -

Funding Systems and Their Effects on Higher Education Systems
Funding Systems and Their Effects on Higher Education Systems NATIONAL STUDY – NORWAY November 2006 Nicoline Frølich NIFU STEP – Studies in Innovation, Research and Education Funding Systems and their Effects on Higher Education Systems – Norway Executive Summary In 2002 Norway introduced a new performance-based funding model for higher education in response to growth in the number of students and costs of higher education. The model aims to improve education as measured by the credits and graduates produced, increase research as measured by research publications, and enhance external relevance as measured by external funding. The model is still being developed. Formal explicit links between the fund- ing system and national higher education policies have been established as a result of a re- cent reform in Norwegian higher education (the Quality Reform). The various stakeholders have identified several intended and unintended effects of the funding system on higher education and on the core tasks of teaching and research. Accord- ing to the Ministry of Education and Research, the performance-based funding system will improve the quality of research and higher education, as these are best safeguarded by means of a funding system that emphasises results. The Norwegian Association of Higher Education Institutions (the Rectors’ Conference) has identified several elements in the financing system that contribute to the development of HEIs. Incentives are viewed as a means of encouraging institutions to increase the quality of their educational programmes and research and to implement more structural changes. However, the Rectors’ Conference acknowledges that a funding model with financial rewards could produce unintended effects and advocates monitoring the consequences. -

James Konrad Puchowski 3 Abstract Abstract Nynorsk is one of two codified orthographies of the Norwegian language (along with Bokmål) used by around 15% of the Norwegian population. Originating out of a linguistic project by Ivar Aasen following Norway’s separation from Denmark and ratification of a Norwegian Constitution in 1814, the history of Nynorsk in civil society has been marked by its association with "language activist" organisations which have to-date been examined from historiographical perspectives (Bucken-Knapp 2003, Puzey 2011). -

In particular, it investigates the impact that airports have on regional accessibility, social development and economic competitiveness. The findings are based on two phases of research. The first phase consists of desk research on the findings of previous studies in Norway and of original analysis of published data for Norway. The second phase consists of a case study on two airports in Norway; Ålesund Airport and Brønnøysund Airport. The case study compares the opinions of residents and businesses served by the respective airports and is based on the findings of a postal survey that was completed by over 2 000 residents and an online survey that was completed by over 350 businesses. The analysis finds that airports play an important role in securing the accessibility of regions in Norway. -
