Admin Newsletter for staff and affiliates at NEURO - June 2023
Administrative news for staff and affiliates at the Department of Neuroscience (June 2023).
A word from the head of administration
We are happy to announce that Malin will soon be joined by Felicia, our new colleague and HR partner. Felicia will begin her employment on 7 August 2023, which means we will have our HR function fully in place again. She has a great deal of experience and has worked at several universities before joining KI. More information to come.
Finance/HR teams
In the autumn, we will continue just as before, dividing the PI groups within the two Finance/HR teams, and Felicia will be partnering with Patricia.
Departmental coffee
The Departmental coffee is now on summer break and will be back this fall.
Miscellaneous
On another note, we still have a stock of mouthguards in the Admin quarter (A3), since the pandemic. Please let us know if you have a need for any.

Make sure to check Neuro Admin's availability during the summer.

HR
Malin is currently on vacation and will work on and off during the summer, to attend to HR issues in the best possible way.
In order to cover the gap, and before our new HR partner is in place, we will help one another between departments as best we can. Thus, we will be able to handle urgent HR-related issues such as access to the building, changing passwords, etc. Sigge/AC will also be available during the summer if there are any urgent matters to attend to.
We would like to thank you for your patience and for bearing with the current situation.
Please remember to send any HR-related matters, primarily by email to hr@neuro.ki.se.
Finance
Invoicing handling
We would like to emphasize that we must follow the department's delegation order and the two-hand principle applying to all departments and carefully distinguish that we have a person who handles orders of services/goods and a manager within each research group that certify each invoice. A manager must therefore only certify and not approve an invoice.
Financial closure
The financial closure is approaching and UBW/Agresso Web is closing on 5 July 2023. Hence, all supplier invoices should be approved and authorized by 4 July 2023, at the latest.
For any finance/economy-related matters, please remember to use the email address ekonomi@neuro.ki.se.

Communication
KI RIMS to be launched this fall
Throughout 2023, a project is underway to launch KI RIMS, our new system for managing our research information. It will make managing information about both individuals and different groups easier, and it will give researchers the opportunity to make information about their own research more visible than today.
More information
Join the reference group for KI's language policy
KI is working on developing a university wide language policy and we are looking for people who want to be part of a reference group.
