Excellent centres at UiO
The centre scheme is a tool for raising the quality of Norwegian research, higher education and innovation.
Centres of Excellence
There are nine Centres of Excellence (SFF) at the University of Oslo (UiO). Our research groups have been given the SFF-title for a period of ten years, in tough competition with other Norwegian research groups. The centres represent all subject areas at UiO - health sciences, natural sciences, social sciences and the humanities.
Centres for Excellence in Education Initiative (SFU)
The Centres for Excellence in Education Initiative (SFU) is a prestigious national initiative for higher education. SFU status is awarded to academic communities that have already demonstrated excellent quality and innovative practices in education and that have plans in place for further development and innovation. One of the important requirements the centres have to meet is that they must disseminate their results and knowledge.
Research centres for environment-friendly energy (FME)
The research centres for environment-friendly energy (FME) carry out long-term research projects aimed towards sustainable energy, energy efficiency, carbon capture and social sciences.
Centres for Research-based Innovation
The Norwegian Reseach Council's Centres for Research Based Innovation (SFI) initiative aims to build and strengthen Norwegian research groups that work in close collaboration with partners from innovative industry and innovative public enterprises.
