Research Projects
The following is a short presentation of some of the University in Oslo's research projects.
| Markets
and Competition The main goal of the project is to establish a powerful centre of research that on European level can contribute to research on commercial law relating to the commercialization of information and knowledge. |
| Crime
Control and Technological Culture What type of influence has information and communication technology on the police perception of criminality, risk, danger and dangerous populations? And what is happening to the traditional constitutional government's principles such as legal protection and proportionality in the face of an ever-increasing extent of proactive and risk-based crime control? |

Communism 1917-1990 The purpose of the project is to stimulate research on the history of Communism in the Nordic countries in a comparative perspective. |
| Forum for
Contemporary History (FoSam) The focus of research is changes in political culture, as a catalyst for the study of wide ranging societal transformations. FoSam will concentrate on the post World War II period, but will also investigate the foundations of post-war political and cultural paradigms extending backwards to 1918. |
| Towards an
European Area of Research and Innovation (TEARI) The project aims to produce a comprehensive overview and synthesis of the role played by research and innovation in modern societies. The researchers are focusing not only on technical but also on social and organisational aspects and the links with policy, and they are assessing the role of the EU research programs in enhancing our knowledge in this area. |
| Transnational flows of concepts
and substances Transnational linkages and flows occur today on a massive scale, but the specific nature and quality of the phenomena that travel have received relatively little attention within the social sciences. In this program it is the quality, nature and significance of the various phenomena that travel that will be explored and compared. |
| EYE-to-IT EYE-to-IT is an European research project that investigates cognitive processes during translation in order to develop technological solutions for assisting professional translators. |
