The Centre for Digital Life Norway (DLN) is a national centre for biotechnology research, education and innovation that transforms Norwegian biotechnology research and education to increase innovation and value creation for society.
Thanks to the collaboration between six universities, DLN has research projects all over the country and facilitates transdisciplinary collaboration across institutions, fields of research and the research projects in the centre.
The universities involved in the DLN are the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim (NTNU), the University of Oslo (UiO), the University of Bergen (UiB), the the Norwegian University of Life Sciences in Ås (NMBU), Oslo University Hospital (OUS), SINTEF in Bergen and the Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø (UiT).
CBU is hosting the DLN competence team for data and models (Korbinian Bösl and Ragna Breines).
The DLN is run by a competence hub and includes a research school and research projects. The competence hub is funded by the Research Council of Norway, and the second funding period DLN 2.0 started in February 2021.
DLN and ELIXIR Norway are actively collaborating on Research Data Infrastructure and Training. Since 2020 more than 600 PIs, researchers, postdocs and PhD candidates have been to one of the joint DLN/ELIXIR workshops.
