Internal funding and support schemes

OsloMets strategy 2024 identifies the goal of "developing three to five academic environments of particularly high quality, at least one of them in technology subjects."

Therefore in 2020, OsloMet had an call for academic environments based at OsloMet to apply for status as Centres of Research Excellence (CRE)  for the period 2021-2024. (Information in English only).

Internationalisation funding from the R&D section. OsloMet offers support to environments who wish to position themselves internationally and to seek EU’s research programmes. The offer is managed by the R&D section.

Both Norwegian and international research funders require that the research must be available on the internet. The results must be published in Open Access, whether by depositing (self-archiving) the article in the open archive or by publishing directly in Open Access journals.

If you wish to publish in Open Access journals, but lack the money for the publishing expenses (article processing charge - APC), you may apply for funding for the payment of the publication fee.

The Booster project was to help increase the proportion of externally funded projects at OsloMet.
