Personal page

As an employee at UiB you automatically get a personal page at www.uib.no

• The URL of the page will look like this in the Norwegian version: www.uib.no/personer/Yourfirstname.Yoursurname and like this in the English version: www.uib.no/en/persons/Yourfirstname.Yoursurname
• You will to a great extent have control over the content of your personal page.
• The page will most likely be one of the top ranked search results on Google if someone searches on your name. Therefore, it is important that this page presents you as you wish.
• Better personal pages help make UiB’s core business more visible.

Examples of personal pages (currently only in Norwegian) »

Fields of competence
