Kjerstin, Gro, and Kristin have been busy planning our first focus group meeting with Bergen-area hosts. This will take place April 29th at IMR in Bergen. At this meeting, we will discuss our work-relevance course and programs and invite participants to join a focus-group discussion. After this meeting, we can discuss with UiO and UiT plans for focus groups in Oslo and Tromsø in the Fall.
We have finalized our focus-group protocol for the UiB meeting in April. Our plan is to videorecord this session, for our transcriber to best identify comments to (anonymous) individuals.
At UiB, we have selected students for various research technician positions, including one DEVELOP position. We will identify this student at a meeting in the next month, and they can get started on transcribing the first focus-group session.
Sehoya submitted the research protocol and consent form to RETTE.
Jonathan has been working on a DEVELOP website. At first, it will just give a project overview and timeline, share general monthly updates, and give a “who’s who”…we will grab pictures from your staff pages where available, but feel free to send one to Jonathan if you prefer. We also welcome input on other aspects of the website.
