Boston reports that the covering of polluted sediments in Store Lungegårdsvann was completed on Friday 15 March 2024.

However, they may not leave the area until the municipality has approved the execution with core samples and chemical tests.

Final approval is expected at the end of April, but we have received confirmation that no noisy work will be carried out during this period.

The Research Council is looking for knowledgeable and committed people from all areas of society. The deadline for expressing interest is 21 April. — Draft

From the summer of 2024, we are renewing our 10 existing reference groups for Horizon Europe. In addition, we are creating a new group for the area of Reforming and improving the European Research and Innovation System (ERA).

We want both to include some of the representatives who participate in the current reference groups and to recruit new representatives. The reference groups are important arenas for input related to Norway’s priorities and strategic processes in Horizon Europe.
