Information to the host of invited guest researcher/guest

Do you plan to invite a guest researcher to UiB? UiB and your unit require that all guests who will come to UiB and, for example, need access to the UiB network or have their own access card must be registered in accordance with the routine. The routine is described in "lederhåndboken" and applies to all guests, regardless of the duration of their stay at UiB, as long as one or more of the following points are applicable:

• The guest needs an IT guest account
• The guest may require an export license
• The guest needs a formal “Letter of Invitation” from UiB. You can find a suggested invitation letter on the procedure page.
• The guest will have travel/accommodation expenses covered or receive a stipend from UiB
• The guest will pay the department/unit for their stay
• The guest needs office space and/or access to a laboratory or other rooms with special access control

As the host, it is your responsibility to ensure that the guest researcher is correctly registered and receives the necessary accesses. Contact the management at your department or unit for approval and the formal application form. You can also read more about how to order access to the payment solution "Betalmeg" here.
