Seminars & Workshops

An essential part of the activity of NRCC is organization of specialized courses and seminars about the Russian society and market. Some of the seminars, which are often organized in cooperation with our Russian and Norwegian partners of cooperation, are as well open to the public in general. Courses are also organized in regional Norway, in cooperation with various NRCC partners of cooperation. When we consider it necessary, we may also organize larger Russia seminars, cooperating with both Norwegian and Russian authorities in this respect and always making an emphasis on business. In addition, we have a couple of ad hoc meetings every year.

In addition, the NRCC specializes in in-depth courses about the Russian market (see below) where also non-members may participate. In the future, the NRCC aims for making presentations about Norway, the Norwegian market and Norwegian investment laws and business culture for business representatives in Russia.

Russisk kultur for naringsdrivende (Russian Culture for Business People)

Doing business in Russia is not only about business. Russia is a country of unique and rich culture, and you should get acquianted with it in order to be able to understand the people and the country. But time is money, and business people do not always have a luxury of studying various aspects of the Russian culture. This full-day seminar is tailor-made in such a way that it covers the most essential milestones in such facets of the Russian culture.

The last seminar took place in Trondheim on the 1st February 2011. For any questions, please contact the NRCC Administration, tel. 47 21 01 57 50.
