From 1 January, the new IT department at UiO is in place. Both USIT and local IT staff from several units at UiO are part of the new department. For most people at UiO, the first ting which will be noticed is that contacting IT support will be easier with one, joint point of contact. For the staff in the new IT department there are organisational changes, some will get a new manager and all will work together.
On January 1st 2023, the new joint IT organization for UiO comes into force. The organisation's vision is to be user-oriented, inclusive, highly competent and creative, and already in November we are seeing results of the user-orientation in the form of a survey that is sent to all faculty, staff and students.
UiO and USIT are realizing the dream of data adhering to the FAIR-principles; stored in such a way that they can be found and thereby also shared, tested and reused.
The numbers tell the story: Graphs and numbers showing the move to working from home.
At first, it was gradual and quiet. From March 9th, more and more meetings were postponed, canceled or changed to video meetings. But on March 12th came the message of strict measures to prevent the spread of the corona virus: UiO is closing its buildings. But students and staff must continue their work digitally.
