Researching fertility

With over NOK 60 million, the INN University will try to improve the breeding industry in Norway. Frozen bull semen plays a central role in that.

Following the trail of the bear's secrets

The bear's winter hibernation is a mystery: how can it lie quietly for six months and come out entirely fresh in the spring? Scientists take bears out of their dens to find answers.

Watch the film about the bear research

While the team was busy examining the sleeping bear, not only photos were taken - but also filmed. You can see how the scientists work in the film.

The Faculty of Applied Ecology, Agricultural Sciences and Biotechnology (ALB) offers programmes of study in the sustainable use of agricultural, forestry and uncultivated areas, as well as products and services that are further developed from biological material. 

Our research within applied ecology, agricultural sciences and biotechnology is closely related to our programmes of study and is based on sustainable production, use and management of biological resources such as game, fish, forests, cultivated plants and livestock; as well as products and services developed from biological material. 

In addition to the aforementioned, we focus a great deal on innovation for sustainable and responsible business operation in our disciplines.

Internationalisation is an important priority area for the faculty, and we maintain international networks to raise the quality of our bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees (e.g. www.irsae.no). Our study programmes and research hold a high international standard, even though many of the issues we work on are regional. Similarly, we work with international issues at a regional level.
