Research and academic activities

BI works continuously to develop outstanding research and teaching. Last year was another year with high academic activity.

BI's academic activities are organised in nine institutes  and 10 research centres representing spearheads in our research.

Our researchers deliver solid research quality, with publications in prestigious journals and have several externally funded research projects. BI is an important collaboration partner with several other institutions in many research projects.

• The number of publication points for BI in 2022 was 502, another year of high research output (figures for the current year are only available in April each year).
• BI received 41.4 MNOK in externally funded research projects
• 61% of the externally funded research projects had BI as project owner

We want to be closely connected to society and business. Our research and teaching must reflect business needs, and their knowledge and experience must strengthen our work. We contribute to developing society and tomorrow's working life through long-term collaborations.
