RA/WP-leader meeting (13 September, Trondheim)

Twice a year, HighEFF invites all Research Area and Work Package leaders to a half-day workshop. Even if the Centre is in its final year, we find that this meeting place is as important as ever to get to know both people and topics across the Centre.

This autumn, HighEFF has seen big changes to the WP leader group, and the focus of the workshop was on highlighting new or interesting cases in the various work packages. This was well received among both veterans and newcomers.

Cross-Sector Workshop reminder & registration
(18 October)

Each autumn, HighEFF partners meet to get updated on the latest Centre activities and to start planning the upcoming year.

This year, we invite all HighEFF partners to Trondheim Wednesday 18 October for Centre updates and networking.

Since the current work plans already covers the remaining period of HighEFF, we will use the Cross-Sector Workshop 2023 to present and discuss results from the ongoing research. Details will be posted on the HighEFF webpage and sent in a separate meeting invitation.
