- The convergence environments are UiO:Life Science' most important tool for initiating and supporting outstanding interdisciplinary research projects aimed at solving major challenges in health, environment and sustainability.
Aimed at the entire UiO
- We want to include researchers from traditional life sciences faculties such as medicine and natural sciences, but would also like to have participants from the humanities and social sciences. Many of the most exciting projects that have been awarded through the last two convergence environment announcements in 2017 and 2019 involve innovative and creative partnerships that create good convergence and break with established notions of who should work together, says director of UiO:Life Science, Carl Henrik Gørbitz.
