Talk on Paper — Breaking Barriers in Global Research

Founder: Dilan Nenningsland

Academic knowledge should be a bridge, not a barrier — and Dilan is on a mission to make that vision a reality. Her company, Talk on Paper, is a digital platform that helps researchers share their work beyond language and regional boundaries.

The concept is simple yet transformative: Talk on Paper conducts video interviews with scholars in their native languages, then dubs them into multiple languages. Suddenly, a Brazilian researcher can easily understand insights from Japan, or a Norwegian scholar can follow developments in South Africa.

Beyond video content, the platform offers real-time translation in its networking space — helping academics connect, collaborate, and build a more inclusive research community.

By amplifying diverse voices in global academia, Dilan is changing how research is shared, understood, and valued.
