Program

To improve the conference experience we are going to use a conference app, Ventla. It's possible to use the app both on your computer and on your phone/tablet. The app is very easy to use. All relevant information, as well as links to the abstracts, will be provided in the NorLit 2021 conference app. Registered participants will receive information on how to log in to the conference app in an e-mail before the event starts.
