The institute leaders look forward to an environment that will be more than just a workplace.
“We had a pleasant meeting this week to get to know each other and to discuss how we can foster professional collaboration and make Campus Ullevål a meeting place,” says NGI's CEO, Lars Andresen.
For NORCE, the relocation is also about building bridges between research and society.
“We are especially excited to invite the city to joint events for everyone interested in research and innovation,” says Christina Schieldrop, Deputy CEO of NORCE.
In the summer of 2026, Campus Ullevål will become an innovative professional hub within climate, energy, environment, societal safety, and infrastructure.
