mødetid

Møtetid is a Norwegian term that denotes the scheduled time for a meeting, i.e., the start time at which a meeting is to begin. Depending on context, it may also imply the expected duration or time window allocated for the gathering. The term is commonly used in workplaces, public administration, associations, and other organizations to specify when participants should convene.

In practice, møtetid is usually stated together with the date, location, and who is invited, and it is often accompanied by an agenda (dagsorden) outlining the topics to be discussed. Clear møtetid helps coordinate attendance, reduce delays, and facilitate planning for subsequent activities. In many organizations, lateness is discouraged, and attendees are expected to inform the organizer if they cannot arrive on time.

If a meeting extends beyond its planned duration, the end time or the next steps may be updated in the agenda or a new meeting scheduled. Digital calendar tools commonly store møtetid as the start time, with fields for location, duration, invitees, reminders, and notes.

Origin and usage note: møtetid is formed from møte (meeting) and tid (time). It is a standard term in Bokmål Norwegian for indicating when a meeting begins; related terms in practice include innkalling (invitation), dagsorden (agenda), and møtelokale (meeting room).
