We need knowledge, and it does not need to be hidden away in textbooks and auditoriums.

Our research does not contribute to development and change until the environment becomes familiar with it. Research dissemination is therefore an important part of our societal mission.
 
In an easy-to-understand way, our researchers talk about the topics they are experts in. Their knowledge is quality assured through years of research and assessment by other experts. 
 

At The Saturday University you can listen to lectures on current topics and join the discussion afterwards. It's nice to be able to meet and learn something new, through a knowledge-based exchange of words.

USN researchers reach the whole world

While The Saturday University is a local research arena, TED.com represents a global audience. Knut Ivar Bjørlykhaug's TEDx Talk on ecological care has close to a million views.

Several USN researchers have also contributed with TEDx Talks, which you can see here. (page in Norwegian, but videos in English).
