Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences

Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences (HiOA)is Norway’s largest state university college. With a student body of more than 18 000 students, and close to 2000 employees. Research and development has contributed strongly in creating the modern welfare society. HiOA has 4 faculties and 3 centres. One of the centres is Centre for Welfare and Labour Research (SVA). SVA consists of four research institutes, of which two are involved in the GoNano-project: Consumption Research Norway (SIFO) and Work Research institute (AFI).

HiOA is leader of Work Package 1 (Turning lessons into action), however we will be involved in all work packages of the GoNano-project!

Both SIFO and AFI has broad experience with European projects over the last 15-20 years, and have been involved with ELSA and RRI research on governance of new and emerging technologies,

with a particular focus nanotechnologies since 2006. Although the institutes have been involved in a variety of projects, it is the dynamics between the different actors, including consumers, that are one specific dimension that distinguishes our competences.

GoNano (Governing Nanotechnology through Societal Engagement) is an EU project under Horizon2020. It is coordinated by the Danish Board of Technology Foundation and involves 10 partners from all over Europe.
