Inclusion of at-risk youth
About the event
Together with partners from the public sector, non-profit organizations, and health tech companies such as ReIgnite, Eitri invites you to an open and cross-sector event supported by the Research Council of Norway.
Description
The event is part of the government’s mission “Children and Youth First – Our Shared Responsibility” and aims to develop an innovative R&D project that can bring real change for young people aged 16–29.
We invite you to join the program where together we will:
- Strengthen collaboration across the public, non-profit, and private sectors.
- Create innovative solutions for young people facing challenges related to mental health, substance use, or crime.
- Design a joint research and innovation project with the aim of securing support from the Research Council of Norway.
