The 2018 NORSI Research School Conference held 11-12 January at BI Norwegian Business School showcased the interdisciplinary and high quality research currently being conducted by the students within innovation studies that are part of NORSI.
NORSI is in its sixth year and the annual conference has become an important meeting place for the NORSI research community. Over 60 people participated, including NORSI students, faculty, board members and agency personnel as well as others who are interested in the emerging research within the innovation field. 22 NORSI students presented and received well prepared feed-back from senior and junior discussants.

Format
The aim is to provide a comfortable and open environment for students to presents their research in progress, findings so far, and to receive feedback and support from peers. There will also be open round table discussions about a choosen topic. This is intended to be a platform for all students and not just those whom are near completion. Taking part in the conference is seen as an important part of the research education for students that are part of NORSI. The conference is open for anyone but only NORSI PhD students may present.
