Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center

The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center was established in May 2000 at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. The aim of the center is to prevent injuries and other health problems in sports through research on risk factors, injury mechanisms, and prevention methods, with a particular focus on football, team handball, and alpine skiing/snowboarding, and on the most common and serious injury types.

The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center is chaired by professor Lars Engebretsen and professor Roald Bahr. The center is a joint venture between UllevÄl University Hospital and the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, with base funding from the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Culture, the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee & Confederation of Sport, the International Olympic Committee, the South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority and Norsk Tipping AS.

In 2009, the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center was inaugurated as a FIFA Medical Center of Excellence. In the same year the center was also selected as an IOC Research Center for Prevention of Injury and Protection of Athlete Health, one of nine such centers around the world.
