boardmember / / -

Stay easier in touch with others at NTNU and join our new facebook group “DION forum“!

The group is our social platform, where you can ask questions related to your PhD/Post-Doc life at NTNU.
For example, you can ask there if someone could lend you ice skates for the upcoming DION ice skating event if you don’t own a pair yourself ?
Other examples:
“Is someone here proficient in xyz? Internet/colleagues were not able to answer my question”
“I did not leave for the holidays. Who wants to spend New Years eve together?”
“Does anyone know what “Stripa” is? I asked my colleagues but noone seems to know”
“Would anyone like to plan a PhD cabin trip together with me?”

!! Remember that if you have any work-related inquiries which you don’t want to share publicly, you can always send us an email to: post@dion.ntnu.no.
You might find helpful to check out the FAQ section on our website first. !!

Let’s stay it touch!

DION on ice

boardmember / / -

Winter is definitely here, and so is the ice skating season! Want to try out ice skates for the first time, or simply show off your skills? Join DION for a fun day out on the ice at Leangen Ishall.

When: Sunday, 27 January 2019, 12:00-13:30
Where: Leangen Ishall (Tungavegen 3, 7047 Trondheim)

There is matches during the day, so make sure you get there by 12 PM, to get most out for the day. Unfortunately, ice skates cannot be rented at Leangen, but there are several options if you do not own your own or can borrow from friends or colleagues.
Used Ice skates can be bought cheap at Fretex, or borrowed through volunteer centers. Another alternative is to try touring skates. Blyberget Frileik in Trondheim are kindly lending us some touring skates. But then you´ll need to bring cross country ski shoes (NNN BC binding or NNN binding). Feel free to ask if you have any questions. They look something like this.

Make sure to bring hot clothes, a helmet, and wool socks is a must! Skiing poles and knee pads might also be a good idea if you are trying for the first time.

We will be using the outdoor skating range, where there is no entry fee. DION will provide some hot drinks.

We are looking forward to see you there!
