Description
The University of Oslo in Norway has a long tradition in space science research. It started with Kristian Birkeland, one of the pioneers within auroral research, who established first observatories in Northern Norway, on Svalbard and Novaya Zemlaya.
Today, we have participated in large space missions, such as Rosetta, Cluster, BepoColombo, we send our instruments on satellites, launch sounding rocket experiments, and operate instruments in the Arctic and in Antarctica.
In this talk I will present activities and recent highlights related to space science and space weather research at the University of Oslo, with a particular focus on polar regions. I will also put it in a broader context of research in Norway.
