We welcome creative proposals that address the elements above and promote the relationship between the U.S. and Norway through a variety of topics including, but not limited to: Highlighting the importance of the strong security and defense relationship between the U.S. and Norway Promoting awareness of, and interest in, benefits of the economic relationship between the U.S. and Norway Sharing best practices in research security and academic integrity.
