The PRoRota-project will use probiotics, improved education in hygiene and advanced mathematical models to prevent children from dying of diarrhea in low and middle-income countries.

Imagine a blood test that works like a car’s dashboard, warning you before cancer develops. Researchers in Bergen are using quantum physics and diamonds to make that possible.

New work from the Steinmetz group at the Michael Sars Centre unveils the secrets behind the starlet sea anemone's extraordinary ability to adjust its body size according to food availability.

The data speaks clearly – our planet faces serious challenges, and the ocean is at the heart of them. Next summer we consider both the opportunities and controversies that come with ocean use. Apply by 1 February 2026.

A few years ago, scientists from the University of Bergen, for the first time in history, managed to collect samples from one of the most remote and extreme seafloor environments deep under the Arctic ice. Now, their first findings reveal extreme hot springs, fragile metal-rich chimney structures, and enormous hydrogen release that could be crucial for the search for life in our Solar System.

Now the University of Bergen wants to uncover the secrets of the dark ocean, by establishing a national centre for deep-sea innovation.
