Friendly reminder that hundreds of newly hired researchers in Norway still haven't got permission to move here.

My inbox: researchers from ,,,, all of whom have the right to live and work in , all denied entry. Many are without income, desperate, deeply disappointed.

It looks like @IselinNybo's plans to allow entry to specialist workers benefits some industries, but very few researchers meet the requirements. This doesn't help us in higher education.

"Kunnskaps-Norge" is their slogan. "Kunnskapsløs Norge" is more apt. https://khrono.no/universiteter-fortviler-over-strenge-innreiseunntak/571660

Denying entry to non-Norwegian Nordic and EU citizens is a violation of EEA legal agreements, as several lawyers have pointed out.

It is also discriminatory, disproportionate, and deeply immoral.
