Venue  – The University of Agder (UiA)

The University of Agder (UiA) is the leading education and research institute in the region, with 14,ooo students and 1,500 employees. UiA became a university in 2007, but our roots span over more than 190 years. In 1771 Bishop Johan Ernst Gunnerus proposed that a Norwegian university will be established in Kristiansand. But apparently Universities don’t materialize quickly, at least not in Norway. All Norwegian universities so far have had a preparation time of 40-60 years and in this sense, UiA is a typical Norwegian University. The University started as a teacher training  college in 1839, taking place at the Holt vicarage in East-Agder. Today, UiA  has two campuses – Kristiansand (the conference venue) and Grimstad and six faculties (one of which is the School of Business & Law).

The university campus in Kristiansand is built following the American campus model, with everything gathered in a compact area. Short distances to facilities and units  designed for high well-being and for students and staff to collaborate across disciplines.

The School of Business and Law has over 2,000 students and is AACSB accredited.
