Artificial Intelligence is not just a technological shift: it is quietly reshaping the foundations of democracy. From access to information to political participation, AI holds the power to both empower citizens and distort public discourse. Where does opportunity end, and erosion begin?

Join us for a lunch seminar with Naomi Lintvedt in the Science Library, where she will talk about how social robots designed as companions can intrude on human privacy, autonomy, and well-being, and how these risks can be reduced.

Welcome to this week's lunch seminar in the dScience lounge with Agnieszka Seremak. She will talk about how dehydration in sodium zeolite Y drives cation migration and unusual structural changes, revealed through combined experiments and simulations.

TRUST aims to be highly interdisciplinary in research and innovation. But what does this mean? How can we achieve it?

Join us for a lunch seminar with Professor Kjetil Tasken in the Science Library. He will talk about how artificial intelligence can be used to harness growing healthcare data to improve research, clinical decision-making, and the efficiency of future healthcare systems.

An introduction to tools, techniques, and strategies for a more effective and efficient management of postdoctoral projects.

Day 1: Monday, 20 April : 13:00-16:00

Day 2: Tuesday, 21 April : 13:00-16:00

Day 3: Wednesday, 22 April : 13:00-16:00

Welcome to this week's lunch seminar in the dScience lounge with Oskar Leinonen, PhD Candidate at the Department of Physics. He will talk about designing fast, high-fidelity two-qubit gates – the fundamental building blocks of quantum computing – using electrons on superfluid helium, a promising new platform that could surpass existing technologies in coherence and scalability.

Welcome to this week's lunch seminar in the dScience lounge with Postdoctoral Fellow Camilla Lingjærde. She will present why many machine learning models fail in new environments and introduce Constrained Random Forest, a method for learning predictive patterns that remain stable when conditions change.

This week's lunch seminar is cancelled.

Welcome to this week's lunch seminar in the dScience lounge with Mohamed Aziz Boukraa.

Welcome to this week's lunch seminar in the dScience lounge with Erik Sathe, where he will present his research on how bat wing shape and flight dynamics relate to aerodynamic performance and ecology.

Norway is participating in the global AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, India. A Norwegian delegation representing public administration, research, and industry will contribute actively to the programme. A Norwegian main session, led by partners from TRUST, will bring together international voices to discuss what safe and trustworthy AI should look like in practice.

TRUST aims to be highly interdisciplinary in research and innovation. But what does this mean? How can we achieve it?

Arnoldo Frigessi would like to speak to potential applicants for the leadership position at the AI centre TRUST about the exciting work we are planning in the coming years, and about how this role will be central to TRUST. He will also be happy to answer any questions applicants may have.

Welcome!

Join us in exploring how green energy and digital solutions can work together to build a sustainable future.

Research area RA1, Veridical AI, invites you to a seminar to introduce the topic of veridical AI and present some ideas for TRUST research projects. The speaker is Professor Bin Yu at University of California, Berkeley.

Doctoral candidate Alouette van Hove at the Department of Geosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Navigating emission plumes: Inferring sources from drone observations via intelligent path planning for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

The Language Technology Group (LTG) at the Department of Informatics hosts a seminar on open large language models for the languages of Norway, with emphasis on ongoing experimentation at LTG with end-to-end model training and evaluation, as well as the introduction of an experimental chatbot prototype.

Welcome to this week's lunch seminar with Camilla Hagen Blixhavn. This talk explores how 3D brain atlases and the EBRAINS platform can organize and link existing cloud-based brain data to create a “Google Maps for the brain,” enabling discovery and reuse of multimodal research data.

Welcome to this week's lunch seminar with DSTrain Postdoctoral Fellow Jonathan Goldenberg. He will present the SHARKSense project, which investigates whether shark skin darkness can serve as a simple, non-invasive indicator of pollution and ecosystem health.

Join us for a lunch seminar with Professor Marianne Fyhn, a key contributor to the discovery of grid cells and groundbreaking memory research. Fyhn will share new insights into how neurons behave after learning, and how advanced imaging and genetic tools reveal the brain’s hidden work as memories are formed.

Join us for the official launch of a new national research centre for trustworthy artificial intelligence in Norway: TRUST – The Norwegian Centre for Trustworthy AI, hosted by the University of Oslo, NR, and SINTEF, with 70 research institutions, private, public and civil society partners.

DSTrain Kick-Off Seminar for Call 2 Candidates at Helga Engs Hus.

Invitation only. 

What if the universe still holds secrets beyond what we can observe, waiting to be uncovered with new models and powerful computing?

Join us for a lunch seminar with Marco Palmiotto on how computational tools can help explore dark matter and the mystery of why matter dominates our universe.
