The humanities at NTNU are committed to research, communication and education of a high quality. Basic research, interdisciplinary research and action-oriented research shall strengthen each other and form the basis of all teaching and cooperation with external parties.

We are working towards establishing and developing more research groups to strengthen the research environment and we aim to actively participate in all of NTNU's strategic research areas, developing priority areas in the Research Council of Norway and make the most of the possibilities within the EU's framework programme.

We are also working on closer cooperation with society, industry and the public sector.
