UiA Nyskaping ANSATT offers counselling in identifying impact, developing concepts and linking research to potential users that could benefit from your insights.

Our Impact Exploration workshop can give input to impact sections in grant applications (for example NFR and EU). This workshop requires no preparation or specific ‘business idea’ from the researcher. Using interactive tools, we work together with the researcher(s) to uncover the potential user(s) of the research and develop initial concepts that can be explored further. 

You can apply for support for all research projects lead by permanent employees or postdocs at UiA or PhD candidates admitted to a PhD programme at UiA, where students with active student status at UiA participate.

It is important that some of the projects include students from the teacher education programmes due to the Teacher Education Unit not being awarded funding in the proposed allocation formula.

UiA Nyskaping offers workshops to help you attain spesific results. Using interactive tools, we can help you develop new or exisiting concepts, proucts or services. The workshops is relevant for employees with or without spesific ideas.
