is a Centre of Excellence (CoE) established in 2013 and funded by the Research Council of Norway.
Organization
The centre is based on a collaboration between four partners: The University of Oslo (host institution), the University of Bergen, Oslo University Hospital, and Haukeland University Hospital.
NORMENT is integrated with the K. G. Jebsen Centre for Psychosis Research, funded by the Stiftelsen Kristian Gerhard Jebsen. This integration of two centres provides a unique opportunity to perform comprehensive and long-term research, reaching across the country.
Aims
We have ambitious scientific goals of understanding the underlying mechanisms of severe mental disorders and find answers to why some people develop perceptual disturbances, delusions, depressions, or manic phases.
Research areas
The research at NORMENT has a clear clinical profile, involving investigations of participants with state-of-the-art clinical assessments and research technology, as well as translating findings to experimental studies for the identification of disease mechanisms and development of new treatment.
