Guests - procedure before they arrive

At GEO we get many guests and we are happy! Of course, in order for the guest stay to be as rewarding as possible, each guest must have a contact person, and therefore a checklist has been prepared for you as contact person so that you know what needs to be arranged by practical things before and after the guest has arrived. Fill out the checklist, sign and send the list to the administration post@geo.uib.no as soon as you have all the necessary information so that the administration can make the preparations needed. This is also about regarding distribution of office space, HSE, insurance (see group listed under bullet point 2) etc.
WHO does this apply?

ALL visitors who should be more than 3 days MUST be registered (ie this applies to eg PhD candidates who are employed elsewhere but are here for a long time)
Anyone who has worked at GEO and where the contract expires (for example, has completed the grant for PhD / post doc or is midway between contracts) must apply to keep office / IT account / keys etc., and MUST be registered as guests
