Nansen Center

The Nansen Center vision is to be a pioneer in environmental and climate research. We have extensive national and international research collaborations and have also initiated the establishment of five international Nansen centers to promote international competence development and knowledge exchange. Through our activities, business, the public sector, and other interested parties will get access to relevant and freely available research services of a high international quality. We further contribute to researcher training through guidance and courses, guest researcher exchange, and through the employment of doctoral fellows and young researchers.

The center is project-financed via national and international research councils, space organizations and agencies, the European Commission, and private research funds, and it receives basic funding from the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment.

The Nansen Center was established in Bergen, Norway, in 1986 and is now employing around 80 people from more than 20 different countries.
