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. Science communication 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.

Every week, researchers from USN contribute their expertise in a variety of contexts.

This could, for example, be in the media, at events where they meet the public, or in their dealings with the business community, organisations and public authorities.
