Data Science Day 2026 brought together students, researchers and representatives from industry and the public sector to explore AI and robotics. The evening featured talks on new technology, startup pitches and plenty of opportunities for networking and exchanging ideas.
Artificial intelligence is moving deeper into science, helping researchers analyse data, find patterns, generate hypotheses and explore new ideas.
Artificial intelligence cannot yet predict exactly when an earthquake, landslide or glacier collapse will happen. But it can help researchers understand what happens as rocks and ice move towards failure, the point where accumulated stress causes them to fracture, slip or collapse.

The Research Council of Norway has granted NOK 100 million to establish the Norwegian Maritime AI Centre, the world’s first national research centre dedicated to applied AI in the maritime sector. The centre will be led by NTNU, with the University of Oslo as a key partner alongside industry leaders and members of the dScience Partner Program: Kongsberg Maritime, Equinor, and DNV.
Artificial intelligence is transforming how we work, but our skills and education are still crucial. More than 300 participants gathered at the University of Oslo for Data Science Day 2025, a dScience event that examined how AI is changing industries, creating new professions and challenging how we think about work and learning.
How can AI enable automated data processing, acoustic object detection, energy-efficient edge computing and autonomous navigation? These were among the questions explored at the dScience and Kongsberg Maritime workshop on AI, data and computing in sensor systems at Lysaker.
On Tuesday, 16 September 2025, the course The Mathematics behind Machine Learning – from Regression to Chat-GPT kicked off, specially designed for mathematics teachers in Oslo schools. The aim is to give participants an understanding of the mathematics underlying machine learning and generative artificial intelligence.

dScience proudly hosted the FENS Regional Meeting in June 2025 (FRM2025), Europe’s largest regional neuroscience conference. From June 16 to 19, more than 1,050 researchers, students, and professionals from across Europe and beyond gathered at the University of Oslo’s Blindern campus for four full days of scientific exchange and collaboration.
The Research Council of Norway announced the research environments selected to receive national research centre status for artificial intelligence (AI) at a press conference on 11 June 2025. Among those chosen is TRUST – The Norwegian Centre for Trustworthy AI – which will now receive substantial support to establish a national research centre, with its core located in Oslo Science City. TRUST will be led by the University of Oslo (UiO), SINTEF, and the Norwegian Computing Center (NR).
This week’s dScience Lunch Seminar: PhD Special gathered PhD candidates from the University of Oslo and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences for an engaging event at the Science Library.
At NORA, we work to strengthen Norwegian research, education and innovation within artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics. We have achived a lot in a short time, but a lot of opportunities remain. We are seeking a new leader who believes that artificial intelligence - within an ethical and sustainable framework - can change society for the better, and who wants to contribute to Norway taking a leading role in this development.
