Do you have something that is still usable? Share it in the Forskningsparken Community on Facebook, so maybe someone in Forskningsparken can inherit it instead of it going to waste.
If you have larger amounts of waste, contact vaktmester@forskningsparken.no. We can assist, for example, by ordering extra waste containers and secure shredding. When moving, we can help with dismantling and ensure the correct transport route through the building or placement of a container. The tenant must bear this cost.

Forskningsparken has a permanently locked room (no. 11202) for intermediate storage of this type of waste. The room has an entrance via the Environmental Station. Access to the room via card-controlled door. This room is only for short-term intermediate storage of small amounts of special waste, typically in connection with laboratory activities in Forskningsparken.
A separate procedure applies to the room. Contact vaktmester@forskningsparken.no for more information."

The initiative to replace the grass lawns surrounding Oslo Science Park with flower meadows started in the summer of 2023. This will benefit the area's biological diversity and provide an insect sanctuary. Now, the children at Forskningsparken Montessori kindergarten are working on their own accommodation for small critters.

Behind partially closed doors on the ground floor of Oslo Science Park, you'll find a maze of copper pipes, flasks, test tubes, nozzles, meters, and hoses. Here, researchers from the University of Oslo's Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN) work. Among other things, they are trying to find solutions to our need for sustainable energy.
