Applications
TIK has in cooperation with the University of Oslo's Centre for Learning, Innovation & Academic Development (LINK), and the innovation company "The Innovation Effect (TIE)" applied to a call from the Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills with a project aiming to include and develop new ways of work practice in higher education. It is a call and a project that corresponds well with the aim of TIK to strengthen the master programmes' relevance to working life. Master coordinator Markus Bugge is responsible for the project at TIK.
