Description
This grant from the Research Council of Norway funds the organization of open events—such as conferences, workshops, and seminars—that disseminate research results, promote knowledge exchange, and foster scientific collaboration. Events may be held physically or digitally but must be open to all interested participants and primarily focus on sharing research findings. The scheme is open to a wide range of thematic areas, including democracy, global development, energy, transportation, health, innovation, climate, environment, food, bioresources, enabling technologies, and cross-cutting topics. The main aim is to enhance knowledge sharing among stakeholders and encourage collaboration across disciplines and sectors, with an emphasis on events that minimize environmental impact and foster broad participation.
