Innovation – Knowledge in use

Research from UiO forms the basis for new solutions to important societal needs.

By promoting innovation and entrepreneurship, we ensure that our research can be transformed into solutions with significant value for society.

We facilitate innovation in several ways: through units that support students and staff in innovation processes, through collaboration with the business sector, and through new meeting places that foster innovation.
