Courses in Project Development
Join our series of one-hour courses this spring and learn more about project development with a focus on public funding opportunities.
It is important to keep up the innovation speed despite the currently challenging times, and applying for public funding is often a good way of securing access to capital.
There are many support schemes for companies working with research, development and innovation. Our course series of webinars, aim to help you find and apply for the right programmes, enabling you to realise your best projects.
Target Group

The course modules can be taken separately, and they will be given in Norwegian.
