Organisation

RITMO is an interdisciplinary research centre and is organized "horizontally" within the University of Oslo, overlapping with the Departments of Psychology, Informatics, and Musicology. All RITMO researchers are therefore also affiliated with one (or more) of the three departments.

Research organisation

Within RITMO, the researchers are organised in four research clusters.

Interaction and pleasure

Structure and time

An orange circld and inside light blue and dark blue lines and four orange points. Illustration.

Interaction and robotics

Structure and cognition

Within these research clusters are interdisciplinary research projects each focusing on a different aspect of rhythm.
