Together on an important mission

The role of the university in a turbulent and unpredictable world, where research and truth are under pressure, has been high on the agenda recently.

OsloMet colleague Jon Rogstad, researcher at the Welfare Research Institute NOVA, will reflect in his engaging way on how we best stand up for the important mission we have together at OsloMet: To bring knowledge and expertise into society.
 

The Launderettes

Joining us at the party this year is the garage rock band from Oslo, The Launderettes, where OsloMet colleague Ingvild Nordang is the vocalist. The rest of the band consists of Linda Kastbakken on guitar, Johanne Hjorthol on bass, Bernt Erik Andreassen on organ and Cecilie Asker on drums.

The Launderettes have over 300 concerts in their memory book from tours here at home and in Europe, the USA and Japan over the past 25 years. They have released five albums, the latest of which “Back from the Sea” came out in the spring of 2025.

They promise a good kick-off with both familiar and new music.

Awards Ceremony

Bring your good colleagues to a pleasant evening, where we will also honor the teacher of the year and the work environment of the year for 2025.

In the evening, there will be a DJ and danceable music for every taste until 10 p.m.

Welcome!
