Research
If we are to solve the many challenges facing the world, we need strong research communities covering a wide range of areas.
What we do
UiO is a highly ranked university in Europe and around the world. Our researchers contribute to the work for climate, environment, and sustainability both nationally and internationally.
We work with offshore wind, batteries, solar cells, hydrogen, consumption, climate psychology, climate law, climate philosophy, fair transition, as well as climate and health – and much more.
Centre for Global Sustainability
UiO's Centre for Global Sustainability connects researchers across fields to help build a sustainable and just future.
Our ambitions
The higher education sector has an important social responsibility when it comes to finding good solutions to climate, environment, and sustainability challenges. The University of Oslo will be at the forefront of this work and be a role model for other institutions as well as for society in general.
Among other things, we will:
- Experiment with new models to bring researchers together across disciplinary and faculty boundaries.
- Reduce barriers when announcing interdisciplinary and cross-faculty positions.
- Strengthen opportunities for PhD students to conduct multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research.
- Further develop interdisciplinary initiatives and link research more closely to teaching within the fields of climate and the environment.
- Build on high-quality disciplinary research when further developing interdisciplinary initiatives and linking research more closely to teaching within the fields of climate and the environment.
