The purpose of the map is to build an understandable and informative guide for complex ecosystems. We aim to provide a clear, interactive guide that highlights the resources available to students, researchers, and innovators in Trondheim.
The beta version of the map for Trondheim is published below.
Actors
An overview of actors is visible on the left side of the map. These are grouped into three broad categories:
- Organizations: Student clubs, departments, or external actors contributing to the innovation ecosystem.
- Spaces: Locations/venues that support innovation, events, collaboration, prototyping, product development and/or business development.
- Faculties: Faculties at the university.
Offerings
On the right side of the map, there are separate tabs for courses, funding opportunities and events:
- Courses: Includes academic programs, courses and modules that include innovation, entrepreneurship, or project-based learning.
- Funding: List of funding opportunities.
- Events: Overview of events in the ecosystem, in chronological order.
Feedback and comments
This is an ongoing project, and we welcome your input, suggestions and comments through the buttons on the map (Contact / feedback, Register event and Register funding opportunity).
In addition to Trondheim, we are also mapping the innovation ecosystem at Nord University (Bodø), which you can explore here🔗.
