I am D谩niel P茅ter Bir贸 and am Professor for Composition at the Grieg Academy.

We live in complicated times. And these times have become equally complicated for university life. Some of the main challenges to the university are currently coming from the autocratic systems that are gaining traction around the world. As an institution, the University of Bergen needs to respond to these developments and ensure that the university remains a place for free speech, open discourse, freedom to research and to teach, based on democratic values and the promotion of diversity in its largest sense. 聽

I studied in Hungary, Germany, Switzerland and Austria before receiving my Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2004. From 2004 -2009 I was Assistant Professor and from 2009-2018 Associate Professor for Composition and Music Theory at the University of Victoria in Victoria, BC, Canada. In 2011 I was Visiting Professor at Utrecht University and in 2014-2015 Research Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University. In 2015 I was elected to the College of New Scholars, Scientists and Artists of the Royal Society of Canada. In 2017-2018 I was a Guggenheim Fellow. Since 2018 I have taught at the Grieg Academy and in 2019, I was promoted to Professor for Composition. I am currently the leader of the artistic research project Sounding Philosophy (2021-2025). I have done research on Jewish, Islamic and Christian chant traditions (the topic of my dissertation, Princeton 2004) and was one of the first researchers involved to establish the field of Computational Ethnomusicology. My compositions are performed around the world and this year my work will represent Norway in the World Music Days in Lisbon, Portugal.

I am applying to the University Board at the University of Bergen because I believe that, as an interdisciplinary scholar and researcher, I would provide the board with important perspectives. Having had many years of experience in teaching, research and administration in Norway and internationally, I have gained knowledge about how to develop policies and frameworks to strengthen teaching and research. As part of the University Board, I would work to create possibilities to enhance research outputs and to improve frameworks for teaching. Simultaneously, I would work to foster diversity and equality at 幸运飞艇计划. A main goal of mine would be to promote the participation of national minorities and minority groups within the university. By acknowledging the presence and actively fostering national minorities and minority groups at 幸运飞艇计划, the entire university community benefits. I would also promote the recruitment of researchers at risk currently living in countries with autocratic governments. The present political moment, while disastrous for the global research community, presently gives the University of Bergen the chance to recruit and help the most qualified international researchers, which will thereby enhance the research standing of the university while simultaneously creating of a more intelligent and just world.
