I take great pride in welcoming you to attend the Nordic Science Center Conference 2019, organized by the NSCF board in cooperation with VilVite.

This conference is a meeting place where knowledge is shared, new ideas created, and new partnerships established, in an informal and open-minded setting.    

The conference in 2019 is especially suited for staff members working in operations, e.g., explainers, maintenance, shop, and communication. 

The schedule will be released soon, but we kindly ask you to already note the following:

The Bergen Railway between Bergen and Oslo has been ranked as one of the greatest train journeys in the world.
