You have now received this year’s work environment survey in your inbox – doctoral students will receive a complementary survey within a few weeks

19 January, 2023

All employees within the University of Gothenburg received an email on Thursday January 19th, inviting them to participate in the ARK survey, which is the university’s work environment survey.

  • Please note that the sender’s address for the email is: Arbeidsmiljø- og klimautsøkseser (ark-kontakt@ntnu.no)

In the next few weeks, doctoral students will also have to answer a short complementary survey with questions about your PhD education – but it is important that you, who are employed at the University of Gothenburg, answer both questionnaires.
You can read more at www.gu.se/ark or contact your manager for more information.

Ewa-Lena Bratt

Akademiliv congratulates Ewa-Lena Bratt on the professorship in nursing.

Initially, the research group’s starting point is the target group of young people with long-term conditions. Ewa-Lena Bratt teaches at all levels at the Institute of Health and Care Sciences, and is also employed as a nurse at the children’s heart center at Queen Silvia’s Children’s Hospital.

The rate was temporarily lowered during the pandemic, to make it easier for employees who needed to get to work to avoid public transport.
