UiB is one of the founding partners of NORA and chaired the steering board of NORA during the first three years of the consortium. From its start with 6 universities and a research center at the end of 2018, NORA has rapidly grown and doubled the number of its partners. It now has a national research school, and networks for industry and for supporing start up companies.
