Bergen took a look at NHH

NHH held Open House on Saturday 10 September, which marked the end of a successful Anniversary Week. Many visitors came to NHH for the 75th anniversary, and many staff and students brought their family along to show off the school.

Fourteen different lectures by some of the best lecturers at NHH, a debate between Thore Johnsen and Øystein Thøgersen, a meeting with the authors of the anniversary books and various research stations and stands - these were just some of the reasons why people visited NHH's Open House on Saturday 10 September.

Wanted to see their daughter's school

The Undrum family

First-year bachelor student Schirin Undrum had brought her parents along to show them where she spends her days. The Agnar Sandemo auditorium was one of the ports of call for inquisitive parents.

'It's very nice for us to see where she spends her time every day,' says mum Gro Undrum. She had come all the way from Holmestrand in Vestfold county together with her husband Stener Undrum for the Open House event.

'The school campus is very attractive, it's really nice here,' says Stener.

Paraplyen meets the family of three just as they are about to attend Victor Norman's lecture. He spoke in the Dag Coward auditorium this time.

'We are very much looking forward to hearing Professor Norman's lecture,' says Gro.

An ABC of economics

'I've been given 20 minutes to give an introduction to economics. It will be similar to the introduction I give to first-year students.'

That was how Victor Norman introduced the lecture he gave in the Dag Coward auditorium, where he guided the audience through some of the most important issues in the field of economics. The NHH professor once again showed why he received the Award for Excellent Research Dissemination.

The chairs of the committee that organised the event were also very happy.

'It has been a wonderful day, and we've seen NHH at its best,' concludes Asle Haukaas, who would have liked to have seen even more people at NHH.

He led a group consisting of Lena Håre, Liv Mari Bakke, Morten Hilt, Bjarte Grønner, Anna Gursli Langesæther and Johanne Amundsen Wiik, who were the people responsible for the Open House event.
