The research groups at MUC are composed of researchers in the same field. PhD students, Master's students, and externals may be members of one or more research groups. They are organized to foster collaboration and develop research competences. Each group is led by a research group head. Contact details for the members of each group are listed under its description. Some groups are described in Norwegian. To contact these individuals, please refer to the description of the respective group.
You can join any research group at any time. The main goal of these groups is to develop scholarly collaborations in one or more areas. Meetings are held regularly throughout the academic year. You can nominate a convener and co-conveners. The convener must be a faculty member. The Center for Interdisciplinary Research will assist with booking the space for meetings, pay the costs of lunch meetings, and provide funds for visiting speakers. The final step in establishing an Interdisciplinary Working Group is to develop a web page. It will describe the overall project and individual programs. It will also include contact information for those who might be interested in joining the group.
