Research and innovation

The main aim of research and innovation at Haukeland University Hospital (HUH) is to improve the health services offered to the population, and provide effective and high quality health care in a secure way.

We are the second largest university hospital in Norway. The investment in medical and health-related research and innovation is extensive. We have several cutting-edge research environments at a high international level, at the same time we believe that it is important to have breadth in research. 

As a regional hospital with many specific functions and high competence, we have particular responsibility for conducting research-based patient treatment, education and training of health personnel.
