FAQ

All fellows will receive two digital user accounts at CAS.

The first account will be for the intranet page on the Centre’s website, where all planning for their stay at CAS will be arranged. Fellows will receive their login information when their research agreement is signed.

The second account will be a UiO/CAS user account, which you can use to access some of our digital and technical services. This login will be provided when arriving at CAS.

Fellows affiliated with the University of Oslo can use their existing UiO user when at CAS.

Yes, CAS can provide access to digital publications, but it is a bit tricky to access as we have to utilise services provided by UiO. If you are interested in accessing publications digitally through the UiO services, please contact senior adviser Rune Flaten.

All office spaces are equipped with an external monitor, mouse, and keyboard. Our standard equipment is for PC.

If your are using Mac and require an Apple mouse and keyboard, please inform the administration under ‘My stay’ before arrival. If you require a desktop (PC or Mac) or ergonomic equipment, please specify this under ‘My stay’.

However, we can only offer standardised software and solutions provided through our partnership with USIT. For specialty software, licensed or purchased, the expenses can be covered by the project if approved by the PI in advance.

Yes, most researchers coming to CAS bring their own laptops.

However, please note that we can only offer basic IT support during your stay if you do not have a CAS-provided computer. This is because the Centre and our IT provider, USIT, do not have the necessary administrative access to provide full support.

Basic support includes help connecting to the network, installing printers, and using the Centre’s AV equipment.

CAS encourages researchers who bring their own laptops to check with their supplier if they can get sufficient IT support while in Norway before travelling.

If the laptop is provided by the employer, you should check with your local IT support if there are any regional restrictions set on the device that may cause trouble when travelling to Oslo.

If the laptop is provided by a Norwegian institution, you should ensure that the computer is compatible with UiO services and protocols.

We recommend that you use Mobility Print from UiO for printing at CAS.

To use our printers, you have to download and install a printer driver:

• Download for Windows >
• Download for MAC >

When installing the driver, you will be asked for the type of printing system you wish to install. Select "Safecom".

You will then be asked to enter your username and password. Please use the information for your CAS/UiO user.

To get your documents from the printer, please see the next enteries in this FAQ.

For assistance, please contact the head of IT, Dag Christian Bjørnsen.

Fellows affiliated with UiO can use their employee or student card at CAS’ printers. All other users need to register their key fob at the printer.

The Centre’s head of IT, Dag Christian Bjørnsen, will visit all newly arrived fellows to assist with setting up printer access. However, if you need to print right away, here are the instructions:

You must use your UiO/CAS user when printing at the Centre. Head to the printer and tap your black key fob at the card reader. If the key fob have an existing user registered to it, let the administration know.

If it is cleared, the printer will ask you to associate the key fob with a user. You do so by logging in to the printer using you UiO/CAS username (username@uio.no) and password. Once this is done, you only need to tap you key fob at the printer to log in.

If you ever forget to bring your keys, you can log in to the printer by entering your UiO/CAS username and password at the printer, and retreive your documents.
