<p style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; "><strong>Apply to become a NVWN Steering Committee Member now!<br>
</strong><br>
Are you motivated to stimulate and facilitate networking and knowledge and resource sharing among individuals and organizations interested in 3D internet/virtual worlds and entrepreneurship/innovation?<strong> If so, apply now to become a member of the NVWN
Steering Committee.</strong> <strong>We are currently recruiting 6 – 8 members. Application deadline is February 7, 2012</strong>.</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; "><strong>NVWN (The Nordic Virtual Worlds Network)</strong><br>
On Wednesday, November 9, 2011, the <a href="http://nordicworlds.net/2012/01/04/report-on-the-virtual-centre-for-entrepreneurship/">Virtual Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (VCEI) </a>was officially launched. This was one of the objectives for a research
project sponsored by NVWN – Nordic Virtual Worlds Network, which is a pan-Nordic, inter-disciplinary project focused on investigating entrepreneurship and innovation in relation to virtual worlds. The project runs from March 1, 2010 to February 28, 2012. As
the research project is now coming to an end, NVWN seeks to continue its activities. Thus, as the community is growing, longer term strategic guidance becomes ever more important.</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; "><strong><a href="http://nordicworlds.net/PPublic/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/VCEI_001.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2141" title="VCEI_001" src="http://nordicworlds.net/PPublic/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/VCEI_001-300x162.png" alt="" height="162" width="300"></a><br>

Although voluntarily serving on the Steering Committee is a modest commitment of time and effort (10-12 days yearly), the rewards are significant. As a Steering Committee member, you will have numerous opportunities to become involved in Nordic and international
research projects and activities and to develop new relationships with Steering Committee members and others around the world.
