About us

Realfagsdagene is a conference held in Trondheim at the beginning of March each year. The next time Realfagsdagene is organized is 12 to 14 March 2025. The aim of Realfagsdagene is to inspire and encourage students to be engaged and interested in science and research. We want to motivate all students to build careers in science and technology based on curiosity and fascination around both man-made and natural wonders, everything from the origin of life to the exploration of space. We invite speakers from home and abroad, everything from Nobel Prize winners to popular science communicators. In 2019, we were visited by the famous YouTuber and mathematician James Grime, known from Numberphile. We were also visited by Grant Sanderson, the man behind the YouTube channel 3Blue1Brown. We have usually been visited by scientists from NASA. We have also held events with doctoral students at NTNU as part of promoting young and promising researchers. In addition to this, we also invite companies to come and talk about something interesting they are doing that may be of interest to science students. Our intention is that these companies should highlight science in their work and be good examples of forward-looking research and innovation, and that the companies we invite demonstrate how the breadth of opportunities gained through science can be used in their daily work. The science days are organized in collaboration with Linjeforeningen Delta, the association for mathematics and physics students at NTNU.
