Enabling technologies is one of the relevant thematic areas for the call with NOK 120 million to fund large, innovative, transdisciplinary biotechnology projects. The projects should respond to societal challenges in the health, agriculture, marine or industrial sectors and strive for responsible research and innovation (RRI).
The RCN encourages projects that receive support, and that are relevant to DLN, to join the centre. This is supported by the centre leader.
– As centre leader I highly encourage successful applicants to join DLN and become part of our fruitful community, says Trygve Brautaset.
