What are the Research Days 2020?

The Research Days (information in Norwegian) is a national research festival from 16 - 27th September 2020 under the auspices of the Norwegian Research Council (NFR). The goal is to create enthusiasm and understanding for research among the general public.

The 2020 theme is the brain.

“The brain controls our everyday lives. It's about emotions and relationships, logic and learning, how we function and react, thoughts and dreams. The brain does not end in the neck. It controls our body, and thus includes both neurology and psychiatry, both physical and mental health”. Forskningsdagene.no
