The Center for Interdisciplinary Education (INTED) brings together students from the Faculty of Humanities, the Faculty of Social Sciences, and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at UiO to develop students' interdisciplinary competence. The center's goal is to include students in the development of new interdisciplinary processes.
