Hans ravaged the summer of 2023, and the costs associated with the damage are estimated at NOK 1.6 billion so far. Climate scientists predict more extreme weather in the years to come. Through research and innovation at Klima 2050, a centre for research-based innovation (SFI), society is prepared for the weather of the future.
The shark has a central role in our ecosystem, but the three Norwegian shark species are threatened with extinction. Scientists are working hard to uncover their behaviour in order to manage the populations properly.

Many years of research are behind the breakthrough Johanna Olweus and her team at the University of Oslo have achieved in their cancer research. Now they have achieved what few other Norwegian researchers have managed, a Proof of Concept grant from the European Research Council.
The world's first self-navigating vessel operates on a regular route between Moss and Horten in the Oslo Fjord. The ships are full of Norwegian technology, and could mean the start of a new Norwegian industrial adventure.
