UiO:Life Science is the largest priority area in the history of the University. UiO houses more than 1 000 persons working with life sciences. They acquire new insight into the nature of life, ageing and disease, and help to address societal challenges with regard to health and the environment. A planned building to house the life sciences, chemistry and pharmacy is a significant aspect of the priority area.

and the transition to a greener economy with new services,
products and jobs.Ole Petter Ottersen, rector UiO
