Oslo Science City (Norwegian: Forskningsbyen) is a research district in Oslo, Norway, centered on the Blindern and Gaustad areas in the suburban western part of the city. It was established in the 1950s when the University of Oslo and several technical research institutes established themselves in Blindern–Gaustad.[1][2][3][4] The road Forskningsveien was named for the district in 1955.[5]

Today the area includes the largest campus of the University of Oslo, Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet and Oslo Science Park. The association Oslo Science City was established in 2019.[6]
