VISITOR

In order to prevent animals, experiments and equipment in the department from being exposed to adverse influences, only people with professionally relevant reasons can visit AKM. This applies, for example, to:

  • Research-related visits (guest researchers, fellows on exchange, researchers who want to start experiments etc.)
  • Information-related visits (for employees at UiT with connections to AKM's construction projects, project managers etc.)

Visitors must be accompanied by an employee at AKM or an authorized user by agreement with the head of department.

An agreement on a visit to AKM must be made  at least 3 working days  before the planned visit. See application form and  routine for visiting AKM .

SERVICE TECHNICIANS OR OTHER OPERATIONS PERSONNEL

Planned and routine visits must be agreed in writing with  the head of department  at least 10 working days  in advance. Except for technical assistance or support of equipment at AKM.
