“It has been incredibly awarding and exciting”, says Camilla Johansen Horten. She is among the first to receive an international certificate in multicultural competence and global perspectives for nurses at UiA.

UiA has made its study centre Metochi available to the Norwegian medical team which has commenced its relief operation in the Moria camp on the island of Lesvos.

UiA is establishing a fast-track committee to see what the University can do to help after the fire in the Moria migrant camp on Lesvos. The Lesvos Campaign will be relaunched.

Updated 11 September: The student who was tested for possible coronavirus infection has tested negative a second time. The medical officer of health has therefore lifted the quarantine for the individuals affected, and UiA is back to ‘normal’ coronavirus preparedness. All teaching will resume as normal on Monday.

UiA arranged a course for students who want to help new students with the practical application of mathematics.
