About the research centre

The Centre serves as a meeting place that promotes nutrition research through multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers, units, and institutions, and works to increase resources and visibility for such research.

Research is the Centre’s primary mission, but the Centre also supports both education and dissemination. The Centre is associated with a network of research groups and researchers engaged in relevant activities in Western Norway, both within and outside the University of Bergen (UiB).
