NorthWind held its very first annual Innovation Forum for project partners.
It was initially scheduled to be an in-person event at the Royal Garden hotel in Trondheim, but because of new Covid-19 related measures, it was decided at the last minute to hold the NorthWind innovation forum as a digital event only. We are sorry we could not meet in person, but we do think that our meetings must feel safe for all to participate. This was not the case at the date the meeting was scheduled for. We therefore decided to proceed with an online event.
The online event followed the same agenda as the planned physical event, with the same presenters and time schedule. The full functionality of Teams was used to allow for online Q&A and discussions.
When: 9 December 2021, 10:00-15:00
