The final joint workshop, which was a 2-day event (15 and 16 December 2025), was attended by 40+ participants, including Professors, Medical Doctors, Researchers, and Students. A strong Norwegian group of 9 people, including 6 students and 3 professors/researchers from INN and UiT, participated in the workshop.
Dr. Nikhil Tandon (Dean of Research, AIIMS), Dr. Vegar Ottesen (Head of Department - Biotechnology, INN), and Dr. Elisabeth Strand Vigtel (Counsellor for Science, Technology, and Higher Education, Royal Norwegian Embassy - New Delhi) were the guests of honor, highlighting the strong Norway–India collaboration.
More than 50% of the participants were students across all levels, from Bachelor’s to Master’s and PhD. The workshop aimed to strengthen the Norway–India partnership in research and education on fighting infection and antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
