The EPINOR newsletter announces that EPINOR will enroll students from two new institutions, the Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Science and the Norwegian University of Life Science. All students from these institutions can apply for EPINOR funding and their research groups can join the EPINOR network. The newsletter encourages more active participation from EPINOR students, noting that over 50% of students surveyed had never applied for funding or participated in EPINOR events. It also provides information on upcoming EPINOR activities and wishes everyone happy holidays.
