Facts
A large and growing part of our activities is externally funded. The Department of Chemistry has currently over 123 employees. The institute has extensive research collaboration both internally at the University of Oslo (UiO) and with Norwegian and international universities, the Norwegian research sector and industries (Norwegian and international).
The department hosts a Norwegian Centre of Excellence of research: The Hylleraas Centre for Quantum Molecular Sciences. This center builds on a previous center for outstanding research, the Centre for Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (CTCC) in collaboration with the University of Tromsø, which has now concluded. The department also has a significant stake in a center for renewable energy focused on solar cells and batteries.
The department prepares candidates for careers in business, public administration, and the research sector, as well as in education and academia.
