Academic Morning Coffee at the Faculty of Social Sciences
Academic Morning Coffee is a social, professional and informal meeting place where you can become familiar with the research at the faculty, and join conversations across the different departments.
Main content
The first Wednesday morning of every month, we invite employees, students and everyone else interested to start the day with an Academic Morning Coffee in the SV kaffebar at the Social Sciences Building. We're serving coffee, tea and conversations about the exciting research in social sciences being done in Bergen. We highlight one of the researchers at the faculty, who present their work in conversation with the dean and the audience.
The coffee is ready at 9 a.m., and the conversation starts at 9:15.
Welcome!
