The Research Days in Bergen


From September 20 to October 1 the research festivities are coming back to Bergen! This is when we'll take the research out of the academic institutions and into public spaces. Exciting debates, engaging lectures, a research market, and the science communication contest, The Research Grand Prix, is only some of what the Research Days in Bergen has to offer.

The Research Days in Bergen is a cooperation between research and educational entities in the city and a select group of cooperating partners from local industries. Together we aim to show off the research happening in Bergen and to create an arena where local audiences can experience research in new and exciting ways. The aim is partly to create excitement and understanding for research, as well as communicating what this research and its results mean for us in our daily lives. The festival is now a regular event and has four main parts aimed at different demographics; The Research Market, Lectures and debates, The Research Days for Kids, and the Research Grand Prix. The Research Days in Bergen are a part of a national festival led by the Research Council. The festival is held annually in weeks 38 and 39.
