The next departure is never far away, and the stops Forskningsparken, Blindern, Gaustad (bus), or Vindern (bus) are only a 5 to 10-minute walk from the park.
You’ll find bicycle parking on the square by the main entrance, or you can use one of the locked bicycle cages outside. If your bike is the kind that makes your neighbor jealous, you can rent a space in one of the locked cages in the parking basement.

Oslo is known to have a rainy day or two, so if your bike needs cleaning, check out the bike wash. If you prefer an indoor wash for yourself, there are wardrobes with showers available inside.

In the basement parking, you will find 15 charging stations for electric cars. Register in the Onepark-app and use your own cable. Remember to move your car once it is fully charged – according to rules and common courtesy.
Why not combine exercise and transportation? Whether you choose to sprint, jog, walk, or stroll to work, you’ll end up in lovely green surroundings at Oslo Science Park. After the reopening of the Gaustad River, the outside areas leading to Blindern subway station have gotten a real facelift. The riverside is decorated with moss-covered art by the art collective Straight of the Wall, you’ll find benches along the river, bicycle parking for tenants, and outdoor exercise equipment. If the journey has made you break a sweat, you can use one of the wardrobes with a shower and place your smelly shoes in the locked cabinets.

Behind partially closed doors on the ground floor of Oslo Science Park, you'll find a maze of copper pipes, flasks, test tubes, nozzles, meters, and hoses. Here, researchers from the University of Oslo's Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN) work. Among other things, they are trying to find solutions to our need for sustainable energy.

Grøntområder og biologisk mangfold er kanskje ikke det du forbinder mest med Forskningsparken. For du visste kanskje ikke at det finnes både dam, bekk, grønne tak og snart en blomstereng som bidrar til å skape liv i området rundt parken?
