What is happiness? What does it take to create and live a happy life? Is happiness more readily available to those who are able to see meaning in the little things? Is there any universal answer to what happiness really is to man?

NanoCosmos shows striking microscopy images from researchers in the convergence environment Programming Cell-Like Compartments. They will give you a glimpse into the nanoworld of soft matter and the microworld of cells – a "Wunderkammer" – where science becomes art. Join us for the opening February 11 at 18!

Climate change affects food production and food security. The way we produce food and what we eat affects the climate. Join us when we put self-storage, food safety, biodiversity and sustainable diet on the menu with experts from UiO and NMBU.

Johan Pensar (formerly Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Helsinki, from 01.02.2020 Department of Mathematics, University of Oslo) will give a talk on February 11th at 14:15 in the Erling Sverdrups plass, Niels Henrik Abels hus, 8th floor.

At this seminar PhD students, postdocs and Master´s students in life sciences at UiO and NMBU had the opportunity to create networks outside academia. Watch videos from the event.

In this seminar international experts and junior speakers from the UiO:Life Science convergence environment PerCaThe will discuss innovative methods for personalized and precision cancer therapy. Topics covered in the seminar include drug sensitivity screening, machine learning and combined mathematical, statistical and imaging methods for cancer modeling and simulation of drug treatment. 

Collaboration between Pharma industry and Academia. The aim of the conference is to show how real world evidence (RWE) is changing the landscape for drug development and clinical use and to present RWE Initiatives that put the Nordic region in the forefront.

Refreshments and mingling in Oslo City Hall  for all participants of the conference. You need at ticket to attend the reception. All who have registered, will get their ticket on email by the end of week 6. The reception is fully booked, but you may sign up for the waiting list.

At the Oslo Life Science Conference 5-year anniversary we looked ahead into the new decade. What will life sciences bring us in 2020–2030? What is the role of artificial intelligence (AI)? What are the visions for academia, hospitals and industry in a rapidly changing world where we need sustainable solutions? How can Oslo and Norway strengthen its position as a leading life science hub in Europe?
