09:00 – 14:00 (15 May – 15 September)

All fellows are given a key to the Centre and may come and go as they please.

Note: CAS is closed during the Easter and Christmas holidays, as well as during the month of July.

CAS offers bright and pleasant offices, as well as common spaces where fellows from different projects can mingle.

Each office is equipped with a desk, bookshelves, and up-to-date desktop computers. All computers are connected to CAS' network via wired or wireless high-speed internet.

For smaller seminars and workshops, fellows can book the Turret Room, which is equipped with a large monitor, whiteboards, and other conference equipment. The Turret Room holds about 25 people.

For larger conferences and seminars, fellows can book the auditorium at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters -- located in the same building as CAS -- or conference rooms at nearby event spaces.

Contact the CAS administration for booking of venues.

Fellows are free to bring their own laptops, but CAS can provide desktop computers that run Microsoft Windows or macOS. The Centre’s network also supports computers running Linux.

The Centre is equipped with copiers, printers, and scanners.

A computer engineer from USIT (University Centre for Information Technology) at the University of Oslo is available at the Centre every Tuesday and Friday.

CAS fellows have access to the University of Oslo’s library resources. Fellows can visit the university library, access library resources electronically, or request physical texts through the Oria service.

Lunch is served in the Centre’s Turret Room between 12:00 – 13:00.

CAS partners with Food.Farm for lunch deliveries. Food.Farm offers deliveries from local kitchens, and fellows select their own meals from a variety of cuisines (including gluten free and vegetarian options) on a daily basis at a subsidised price.

Coffee, tea, and fruit is offered free of charge throughout the day.
