Making sense of global challenges

Help us make sense!

Bergen Global is a collaboration between the University of Bergen and the Chr. Michelsen Institute, dedicated to support academic engagement with major global challenges.

We offer an open meeting place for researchers, students, and anyone interested in the pressing issues facing the world. Through lectures, seminars and other public events, we help make complex global issues easier to understand.

Collaborate with us!

We develop most of our events together with researchers at CMI and UiB’s seven faculties. Our venue is fully equipped for hybrid meetings, and all events are free and open to everyone, making it a great platform for sharing your work.

If you have an idea—big or small—for an event that helps explain or explore global challenges, we’d love to hear from you. Our editorial team is here to help shape it into something that works for you and your audience.
