Here’s a quick update on the latest news about the Norwegian language.

• In academia, there’s ongoing debate and policy scrutiny around language requirements. Recent reports note discussions about Norwegian proficiency rules for international researchers and teaching staff, with some calls to review or adjust the rules to balance language policy with international recruitment needs.[1]
