The conference is the first event for SCANCOR-alumni in Norway. SCANCOR is the Scandinavian Consortium for Organizational Research at Stanford University. We hope to arrange annual alumni conferences, alternating between Oslo and Bergen, and to make it a central meeting place for the Norwegian alumni. This year there will be plenary and parallel sessions, but from next year on we aim to arrange working groups with paper presentations from all participants. Information about coming activities will appear on a soon-to-be-launched web-site for all SCANCOR-alumni.
