Research in Nordhordland

Name of the Biosphere Reserve: Nordhordland UNESCO Biosfære
Main goal/​purpose: Facilitate and motivate research in the Biosphere region and communicate research results from the biosphere area out to municipalities, citizens, and business.

Target groups: Researchers, local community, local administration, businesses, and Nordhordland UNESCO Biosphere
Stakeholders involved: Researchers, local community, local administration, businesses, and Nordhordland UNESCO Biosphere
Project period: 2021 – on-going

Description of the project

The big challenge is to shape a sustainable society. UNESCO's Man and biosphere program uses sustainability goals as the basis for the programme. Central to the UNESCO program is also that development should be knowledge driven. The sub-project "knowledge-driven computing" takes this challenge seriously and lays the foundation for cooperation, interaction and concrete projects between leading knowledge institutions and the Nordhordland UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The research must come closer to the local communities in the region and the "daily life" of the inhabitants.

Results and effects 

In the project we hope that we will manage to:
  • Develop cooperation with the research environment.
  • Ensure that the research environment is involved in issues related to strengthening social and business development in the region.
  • Develop good communication platforms and various arenas for dialogue between the research and knowledge environment, the municipalities, regional business, volunteers, and other social actors.

Focal points:

3. Research and education

This is done through: 
  • Through this project, we have found a way in which we in Nordhordland can implement research in the biosphere area, and how we can become a hub for research and communication for research in Nordhordland.
