2025

In a drive to bring academia and industry closer, NORA Research School and NORA Startup hosted the knowledge‑sharing event Innovate Together: Academia Meets Industry in collaboration with UiB AI at the UiB Learning Arena in Bergen. The event — attended by more than 40 researchers and PhD candidates — focused on equipping early‑career researchers with the skills and perspectives needed to transform research into practical applications and to explore careers in industry.

The Norwegian startup Reliable AI — a member of the NORA.startup network — won the Outstanding Demo Award at the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) 2025 in Bologna. ECAI, Europe’s oldest and most prestigious AI conference, convenes thousands of researchers, industry leaders, and technology communities worldwide. The 2025 conference ran from Monday to Thursday, with one full day dedicated to demo presentations.
