Partners

INLAND brings together research environments and user partners from across Norway and internationally. The partners represent different academic fields, sectors and parts of public administration, and contribute with knowledge, experience and diverse perspectives on land use and nature management.

The research partners have expertise in, among other things, natural sciences, agriculture and forestry, reindeer husbandry, environmental and natural resource law, spatial planning, social sciences, economics, computer science and technology. The user partners contribute to identifying relevant issues and to developing, testing and evaluating solutions.
