Practical information about travel and accommodation

This information applies to members of the assessment committee at the Faculty of Health Sciences.

Payments, travel, and reimbursement of expenses

As a member of an adjudication committee, please note that:

Committee members are to book their own travel and accommodation, and then apply to get the expenses reimbursed. 

Normally, the committee chair will invite to dinner the night before the public defense, and the candidate will invite to dinner the same day as the public defense. We recommend that the committee take this into account when booking their travel and accommodation.

Flight

First/ business class flights are not covered if other tickets are available.

Accommodation

We recommend that you stay in a hotel in central Oslo.

The public defence is usually held at Pilestredet 32 or 46 close to Scandic Holberg (scandichotels.no) which is located central in Oslo.

The department only covers single rooms for two nights in the hotels mentioned on this page, if you desire any other hotel please contact the administration. Any expenses for a companion will not be covered.

Other neighbouring hotels: Thon Hotel Slottsparken, Thon Hotel Europa, Thon Hotel Rosenkrantz.

Transportation

We ask visiting opponents to use public transport, as far as possible. Taxis should only be used when public transport makes travel difficult.

Between Oslo Airport and Oslo city centre, the airport express train is the fastest and most affordable means of transport and uses approximately 25 minutes to Oslo city centre.

The airport express train (flytoget.no) leaves every 10 minutes from Oslo Airport and Oslo Central Station and Nationaltheatret. Nationaltheatret station is centrally located with a short distance to the recommended hotels and OsloMet.

Payments for the adjudication

The assessment itself is remunerated at a fixed rate at paygrade 75 and in the following way:
