Would you like to share your research during this year's National Science Week (澳门葡京手机版app下载sdagene)?
Between 17 and 28 September there will be public research events all over Norway, and on 26 September the pan-European Researchers' Night takes place. The main theme this year is safety (trygghet), but other topics are welcome too. It is possible to apply for funding by 12 March!
If you want to organize an event – maybe in collaboration with another institution? – please get in touch with Lara. She is happy to brainstorm, help develop an activity and give administrative support.
