Nofima in transition
Nofima is about to enter a necessary phase of transition that entails a reduction in the number of staff. The reason is a demanding financial situation. Rapid cost increases in society as a whole present a challenge for the research sector.
Nofima is now taking steps to adjust and adapt to the market in which we operate. Nofima’s CEO, Bente Torstensen, emphasises that we will comply with our obligations and carry out projects and applications as usual.
“With this transition, we ensure a sustainable economy and an agile organisation that is equipped to compete in a tough market,” says the CEO.
The transitional phase will commence in autumn 2025.
