1st NFTN Conference 2023

We started on Tuesday evening with a lovely dinner in the nearby town of Gjøvik, where many of us from outside also spent the night. Early on Wednesday morning we drove to NIBIO Apelsvoll to participate in the professional part of the conference.

In order to strengthen the exchange of experience, the conference started with a series of short presentations. Here, the participants were presented with methods used around the Nordic region, while the conference participants got to know the individual participants.
