The new life science building at UIO
The process for thematic areas has started
The life science building will be Norway's largest university building when it is completed in 2024. During the next year, UiO will identify the thematic areas that will characterize the building.
"Whether it is brain health, neurological diseases, antibiotic resistance or other areas, we will know in a year," says UiO's Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation, Per Morten Sandset. He has asked faculties and UiO:Life Science to facilitate different parts of the process.
Environmentally friendly building and environmentally friendly construction site
Minister of Local Government and Modernisation Monica M?land tried the world's first electric excavator on the life science ground 6 June. Project manager at the contracting builder Statsbygg, Per Roger Johansen, and UiO's rector, Svein St?len, were present and informed about the building.

Biodiversity, wild flowers and bees on the programme for kindergarten children
Why do we need wild flowers and bees? This is what the eldest children in the University Kindergarten explored when UiO:Life Science and the Agency for Urban Environment invited them to one of the city's flower beds ahead of the Biodiversity Week which is a part of Oslo European Green Capital 2019.
Funding opportunities UiO:Life Science
It is desirable that researchers from both medicine, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences at UiO make use of the funding opportunities.
Active calls
