Centre for Cancer Biomedicine voted Centre of Excellence!
Eight more leading research groups in Norway have been designated as Centres of Excellence (CoE). The new CoEs will receive NOK 800 million over a ten-year period to conduct research of a high international standard.
Centre for Cancer Biomedicine was one of the selected ones. This is fantastic, because it means serious funding for great researchers and important research!
Tint is very happy to say that they are our client, and it might help in regards to repeat business… :) We can say we might have helped them a little in getting them the around 100 million NOK.

I am going to speak at the HelsIT 2006 conference in Trondheim on September 27 2006 about the project Quality Indicators.
This is one of the projects I am working on at Rikshospitalet-Radiumhospitalet HF. This project is focusing on trying to define cancer specific quality indicators and use them as a means to improve the hospitals clinical treatment.

I find it very interesting pondering about what our future will look like. Recently I have realized that for me I think it will be very different from what I thought before, and definately different from what we all do and have right now. I think it is important to choose to be one of the ones that will be deciding our future. We are laying the groundwork for what will be and people with good intentions need to be in on it.
The Art of Looking Sideways, Alan Fletcher is a beautiful book that always makes me remember why life is a great place to be. It seems to be written in inspiration and that kind of power that transcends time and medium and is just a big brick of vitamin pills for your heart, soul and head. Some times in boring meetings I might remember some picture, sentence or word from this book and it makes me rethink the situation feeling maybe even inspired to contribute with something ingenious. Well - in my head that is. Thank you, HÃ¥vard, who made me aware of this big brick of a book.
One of my clients through Cobra last year was Schibsted. I was really looking forward to it going live, but since it didn’t I thought maybe they changed their mind about getting a new and improved website… But today I saw they were fresh, new and looking good!
