See all the projects to be led by researchers from the University of Bergen here.
The SapienCE paper about a trapped artefact became the top ten most downloaded articles in the journal Geoarchaeology this year. The study demonstrates how the creative use of unconventional research methods turned an unfortunate archaeological sampling event into a scientific success story.
The online exhibition presents works-in-process of young scientists from the EvoCELL network. The researchers are studying animal evolution from a cellular perspective, by applying cutting-edge technologies to uncover a previously invisible world.
The University of Bergen has produced the special Sustainable Ocean Series, which has now been translated into all six official United Nations languages, spoken by almost three billion people daily.
New studies show that a specially designed mobile app increases motivation and learning. 鈥淚 am interested in understanding more about the role of technology in increasing motivation and learning in students鈥 says University of Bergen researcher Lucas M. Jeno.
The ocean鈥檚 role for Earth was one of the key topics discussed at Our Ocean 2023 in Palau. UiB Professor Edvard Hviding was one of only a few researchers present at the conference and engaged in discussions on the Pacific鈥檚 role in climate change. But what would be the best measure to save our ocean?

This is part of a bigger picture in the fight for scarce resources and on the question whether small fish should be used as food for humans or become fish food?
Hallvard Moe, Pawel Burkhardt, Vadim Kimmelman, and Carlo Koos have received UiB's first ERC grants from Horizon Europe.
Linguistics professor Vadim Kimmelman receives high-level funding from the EU. Now he will be able to build a research team and explore different properties in five different sign languages.
From sunflowers to starfish, symmetry appears everywhere in biology. This isn鈥檛 just true for body plans 鈥 the molecular machines keeping our cells alive are also strikingly symmetric. But why? Does evolution have a built-in preference for symmetry?
