Hi @paperprovince_magnus,
Are there any criteria to participate? We have students at our faculty (Inland Norway University of
Applied Sciences, Faculty of Applied Ecology, Agricultural Sciences and Biotechnology) who are studying for a bachelor of forestry. They will have innovation and entrepreneurship in their studies this spring, and this might be of interest to them.
