About UiB Global

UiB Global is a unit responsible for initiating and coordinating multi- and transdisciplinary research and related activities within this priority area.

The unit aims to strengthen synergies across disciplines and build on the University´s long history of academic cooperation with partners in the Global South.

Research on global and development-related challenges takes place at all faculties and most departments, in partnership with institutions worldwide. Both basic and applied research are organized in research groups anchored in the relevant disciplines.

In addition, several key milieus have extensive experience with relevant multidisciplinary research, e.g.: Centre for International Health, Department of Health Promotion and Development, and Department of Biology.

UiB Global supports all of these entities and their partners, but also houses and runs research programmes and research related activities at its own offices. The unit seeks to strengthen this transdisciplinary hub addressing global and development related challenges.

The academic leadership of UiB Global is supported by a designated administrative staff to best facilitate multidisciplinary synergies and to initiate, coordinate, support, and manage projects across the faculties.

UiB Global's academic coordinator reports directly to Rector.
