Centres of Excellence (SFF)
At present, there are four Centres of Excellence (CoE) at UiB.
The Research Council of Norway has initiated a Centres of Excellence (SFF) scheme, with the intention to bring more Norwegian researchers and research groups up to a high international standard.
The centres are affiliated with Norway's top universities and premier independent research institutes.
The centres are devoted to long-term, basic research.
