Join us in shaping NTNU´s strategic research area Community
Through interdisciplinary research, NTNU's strategic area Community aims to contribute to a viable democracy that safeguards the common good, strengthens trust and cohesion across different groups, and reduces exclusion and polarization. Would you like to help shape this work? Then you have the opportunity by signing up for one or more workshops in the autumn. At the workshops, we will discuss current research topics related to diminishing trust in society and democratic challenges, social inequality and exclusion, restructuring of the welfare state, climate change and the environment.

The aim of the workshops is to gather scientific employees at NTNU who are curious about NTNU Community and who are interested in interdisciplinarity within the societal challenges that NTNU Community aims to address. Each workshop will start with a few short presentations from employees at NTNU who will give a taste of ongoing research within NTNU Community's field of interest. After the introductions, there will be plenty of time for exchange and discussion at the tables.
If you have any questions related to the workshops please contact Frode Nystuen, coordinator for NTNU Community.
