"I am excited to introduce myself as the new Student Council Leader of NORA-HS," says Mattia Tamiazzo, PhD student at University of Agder.

How Should Norway Build National Capacity for AI Security and Safety? This was the challenge in the first NORA-HS case competition, held in Oslo in early September 2026.

My research stay at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) began, rather appropriately, with a fair amount of uncertainty.The arrangements took a little longer than expected to fall into place, and for some time I was not entirely sure how the visit would unfold. In hindsight, this was perhaps the most fitting possible introduction to a research exchange with a group working on uncertainty quantification. Fortunately, the uncertainty was temporary. With support from NORA, HIDA, KIT, and colleagues involved in organising the exchange, everything eventually came together—and what followed was a rewarding period of research, new ideas, academic conversations, and life in Karlsruhe.

Mahya Jahanshahikhabisi is a PhD student at the University of Bergen. As member of NORA Research School, she seized the opportunity to go on a research stay with our partner in Germany - the Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy (HIDA), and decided that Forschungszentrum Jülich, one of the largest interdisciplinary research centres in Europe, was the right addition to her Phd studies.

From June 9 to June 12, over 90 participants gathered at the University of Oslo for the NORA Summer School 2026, four intensive days that brought together PhD students, master's students, researchers, and industry professionals from across the Norwegian AI community.

"The exchange significantly expanded my professional network within the Norwegian AI and environmental science ecosystem." Yiyao Chen, PhD-candidate at the University of Bergen, explains how her stay at University of Oslo, facilitated by NORA Research School, has benefitted her research.

Hi everyone! My name is Kushagri, and I am delighted to introduce myself as the new student council leader for NORA-Tech. 

Poushali Sengupta, a PhD student and member of the NORA-Tech Research School Student Council, has been awarded the Best Oral Presentation Award at the IEEE International Conference on Applied Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AAIML 2026), held in Tokyo, Japan. Her paper, "Correlation-Aware Feature Attribution-Based Explainable AI," was recognized for its significant contribution to the field of trustworthy and interpretable artificial intelligence.

We're happy to introduce the new student council leader for NORA-Tech Research School: Naser Kazemi Eilaki! Here are his thoughts about this new role:
