Frequently asked questions

Hvem kan arrangere faglige kurs for bioingeniører?

Alle som jobber innen bioingeniørfaget – enten som enkeltperson, i bedriftsgrupper eller i lokale faggrupper – kan ta initiativ til å arrangere kurs. NITOs tillitsvalgte og NITO BFIs kontaktpersoner er sentrale ressurser i dette arbeidet og kan bistå i planlegging og gjennomføring.
