Promises more science students

Camilla Schreiner and Ellen Henriksen coordinates the IRIS project

The corporate world needs more scientists, but few young people choose a career in science. Will we finally break the science code? With the help of one million Euros scientists are aiming high: The IRIS project not only aims to understand how youth make their career choices and why they, and particularly girls, choose or reject the natural sciences.

Professor launches a rocket to investigate the northern lights

Airplanes that fly over the northern polar region can risk losing radio contact for several hours when the northern lights are at their most active in the skies. In the near future a professor from the University of Oslo will launch a Norwegian rocket to find the explanation for this. The aim is to set up reliable warning routines.
