The University of Troms is Northern Norway's major research and educational institution, as well as Norway's sixth largest university. Because of its position, the University is an ideal place to further research into the region's natural environment, culture, and society.

Auroral light research, space science, fishery science, biotechnology, languages, multicultural communities, Saami culture, telemedicine, epidemiology, and a wide range of Arctic research projects are the University's core focus. Troms gains additional weight and relevance as an international site for Arctic research due to its proximity to the Norwegian Polar Institute, the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research, and the Polar Environmental Centre.
