ABOUT SIKRESIDEN.NO (ON THE SAFE SIDE)

Sikresiden.no is created by and for Norwegian universities, colleges, and research institutions. 33 higher education institutions in Norway participate in the Sikresiden collaboration, which is a social innovation. Everyone in the higher education sector shares the same core activities, legislation, and many common requirements from the Ministry of Education and Research (KD). We save resources and achieve more when we share, reuse, and collaborate.

We operationalise guiding documents so they effectively reach the organization, ensuring that students and employees know what to do when something happens and how they can contribute to preventing unwanted incidents .
