About the University of Oslo

The University of Oslo is Norway's oldest and highest-ranked research and teaching institution, with 28,000 students and 7,000 employees. Its broad academic scope and internationally recognized research environments make UiO a key societal actor.

The Centre for Ibsen Studies (SIS) is a national and international hub for research, documentation, and teaching on Henrik Ibsen. The centre is organized under the Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies but has its own budget. Its mandate is "to facilitate research and knowledge dissemination about Henrik Ibsen and his works, with the aim of strengthening Ibsen studies both nationally and internationally."

In recent years, the centre has prioritized making as much material as possible digitally accessible, developing several open-access digital resources. Among these, the electronic edition of Henrik Ibsen's Writings and the relational database IbsenStage have become essential tools for contemporary Ibsen research. The centre has high ambitions to distinguish itself internationally in this field.
