At the end of the autumn semester all the Biological Data Analysis and Research Design (BIO300) groups present their results at a meeting that is open to the public.

Course partners, BIO staff, fellow students, Bergen Kommune and members of the press are invited.

BIO300 has been a pioneer course in stressing the importance of effective science communication. Science communication occurs not only between scientists, but between scientists and people and stake-holders beyond the academic world.

BIO300 teachers have been actively promoting more creative and innovative approaches to this very important aspect of being a scientist. The science communication activity has greatly increased the past couple of years and the newest community partnerships reflect this trend. Learn more.

In 2012 the artistic influences were from a composer, a visual artist, a film editor and a dramaturg. All groups present in an open final lecture and in 2012 they were filmed (see listing right). The science communication effort has been overwhelmingly positive from both sides of the podium and far beyond the classroom.
