The Nansen Center is also one of ten partners for the Norwegian research project “The Nansen Legacy”.

Our research projects are financed mainly through the Research Council of Norway, the EU, ESA (European Space Agency), as well as basic funds from the Ministry of Climate and Environment. We also carry out assignments from industry.

In addition, financial support is received from local public and private actors. The Nansen Center is one of four partners in the Bjerknes Center for Climate Research, together with the University of Bergen, NORCE and the Institute of Marine Research.

Our scientific staff comprises experts from Professor to Post-docs in the fields of oceanography, meteorology, geo-sciences, mathematics, statistics, computer science and more.
