Research and innovation

Akershus University Hospital has extensive research activities. Research is a part of our core operations. Active research environments contribute to enhancing the quality of the treatment offerings. Therefore, research is closely integrated with the clinical part of the operations.

Increased Knowledge About Diseases

The research at Akershus University Hospital is intended to benefit many. Our research groups contribute to this by increasing knowledge about diseases that affect large patient groups. Many of the patients participate in research projects and student education, which helps us develop an increasingly better treatment offer.

Innovation stemming from research is also an important focus area. It prepares us to meet the future. Our research environments actively work on developing new tools for diagnostics and treatment, so that even more patients can receive help.

The Research and Innovation Division (FID) has a delegated responsibility for research and innovation at Ahus. FID is organized into 2 departments: the Department of Health Services Research (HØKH) and the Department of Research Support.
