OsloMet and Horizon 2020

Horizon 2020 is the European Union's flagship research and innovation programme. OsloMet currently coordinates three Horizon 2020 projects and participates in an additional 12 projects.

OsloMet's research community conducts high-impact research on a variety of topics related to health, childhood and education, working and family life, and technology. We are home to one of the largest research communities in Northern Europe focusing on the Nordic welfare model and its impact on people across the life cycle.

Our research activities have been strengthened significantly in recent years and OsloMet researchers are attracting an increasing percentage of external funding, both from international and Norwegian sources. By participating in international projects on topics as diverse as artificial intelligence, immigration, ageing populations, and democratic citizenship, our researchers contribute insights into complex issues of global concern.

OsloMet is a university of applied sciences and much of the research we conduct has a direct impact on society. Our researchers appear frequently as academic experts in the Norwegian media and contribute to a fact-based public debate.

Through collaboration with the public sector, industry and civil society, we deliver knowledge and innovative solutions to challenges facing Norway and societies around the world— challenges which are represented in the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Centres of Research Excellence

The four newly established centres are engaged in high-quality, innovative research in their respective fields. OsloMet established four Centres of Research Excellence in 2020. These centres reflect the diversity of research conducted at Norway's third-largest university. The centres provide a framework for high-quality research whose impact will be felt both nationally and internationally. Their establishment will help elevate OsloMet's profile as a leading research university.

Working at OsloMet

The concept of work-life balance is firmly embedded in Norwegian society and working life. At OsloMet, we believe employees perform better if they are able to balance work, family and free time. In Norway, we recognise the importance of offering employees a considerable degree of flexibility to enable them to balance their obligations at work with their family and home life. OsloMet seeks to facilitate this balance by providing employees with benefits such as flexible working hours, holiday, training facilities, and cultural events.

OsloMet has since 2016 held the HR Excellence in Research award. The award is only given to organizations that adhere to offering attractive and rewarding research career opportunities, employee rights, mobility and work/life balance within the four themes:

  • • Ethical and professional aspect
  • • Recruitment and selection
  • • Working conditions
  • • Training and development
