New at MIK

Welcome to the section for Research at the Department of Microbiology OUS/UiO. Please get familiar with the information on these internal pages as well as our main research website.

 

Mandatory introduction to MIK

All new students and personnel must attend an introduction to MIK. Here you will get information about fire safety, general HSE, and laboratory HSE. Schedule an introduction meeting with the HSE-coordinator. In order to finish your introductory training you must also answer one or more questionnaires depending on your tasks and responsibilities.

Each group leader, together with the lab manager has the main responsibility for training new group members in relevant procedures and using relevant lab equipment. For some dedicated labs, you will be trained by the room responsible. For common instruments, please contact the MIK lab manager. For particular instruments, please contact the Instrument responsible.

In order to start working in the lab and to obtain an access card, all new students and personnel have to undergo suitable training and have a signed "For new employees at MIK" form.

 

Getting here

MIK is located in the SINTEF building at Forskningsveien 1 in Oslo. You'll find us on floor 4, in the E and F corridors, in the western part of the building.

You will need a SINTEF access card to get in, or present as a guest to the guard in the main entrance. There is a nice canteen right by the entrance.

You can also get here by bike or car - but please note that parking could be an issue. OUS has a parking area further north. If you are employed at UiO, you can park in certain areas on the UiO campus with a UiO parking permit. Parking your bike is free.
