The Research Center
After Akershus University Hospital became a teaching hospital in 2000 a separate Center for Research (Norwegian: Forskningssenteret) was established. Since then, the research center received an increasingly central place in the hospital. Both somatic and psychiatric departments have contributed to the positive development.
The Hospital aims to ensure that both the research and teaching at the hospital maintains a high professional level, and that the basis of the activity must be the hospitals own patient population. The research aims to provide results that are useful for both diagnosis and treatment. It should be progressive by adopting the opportunities that modern medicine and technology offers, and be cost effective.
Research takes place across organizational structure of the hospital, and in all departments. It is responsible for approx. 2500 scientific publications per year, in the worlds leading journals. Recently an article published in Time magazine received international attention.

“There is nothing more natural than to consider everything as starting from oneself, chosen as the center of the world; one finds oneself thus capable of condemning the world without even wanting to hear its deceitful chatter.”
