Competence and education

The Action Plan for innovation has identified two areas where measures are to be implemented:

  • All of ÐÒÔË´óתÅÌ's educations must meet the National qualifications framework for lifelong learning's requirements for innovation education
  • ÐÒÔË´óתÅÌ will offer innovation and entrepreneurship courses adapted to the characteristics of the various faculties
  • As of 2021, there is a requirement for general innovation competence in all study programs. This is a minimum requirement, but especially the Norwegian School of Management has a very comprehensive offer
