14,500 enrolled students and 3,200 faculty and </div>
<div>staff. Six faculties cover most of the traditional
university disciplines. Within the faculties there are 40 </div>
<div>different specialized departments, multi-disciplinary
research centers, and institutes. The University is </div>
<div>engaged in the European Union’s Framework programs for
research and technological development and </div>
<div>has been designated as a European Research Infrastructure
and a Research Training Site in several </div>
<div>scientific fields. Since 1997 more than 500 European
researchers (professors, senior researchers, post </div>
<div>docs and PhD candidates) have visited Bergen on EU
grants, making UiB one of the most international </div>
<div>universities, setting out to attract both established and
junior scientists to contribute to research teams </div>
<div>and work in multidisciplinary research groups. Further

<div>== THE VISUALIZATION GROUP ==</div>
<div>
<div>The Department of Informatics at UiB is a dynamic
international environment. The visualization research </div>
<div>group was established in 2006 and focuses on new
solutions for the effective and efficient visualization of </div>
<div>large and complex data from measurements (e.g., from
medical imaging or from seismic/sonar sensors), </div>
<div>computational simulation (e.g., from computational fluid
dynamics), or from analytic modeling (e.g., in </div>
<div>the form of differential equations) for the purpose of
data exploration, analysis, and presentation. </div>
<div>Despite being a relatively young group, the recent
ten-year evaluation of all 62 informatics research </div>
<div>groups in Norway conducted by an international evaluation
panel on behalf of Norway’s Research </div>
<div>Council, found that the group’s "(...) accomplishments
made so far are excellent." and concluded with an </div>
<div>overall assessment of "very good to excellent". Further
