The main part of the research is financed by companies, organisations and government agencies as well as the Research Council of Norway. CBH's employees are responsible for arranging courses at all levels at BI, from undergraduate to Ph.D. seminars. In addition, a considerable amount of information is disseminated through lectures and articles, both in professional and other fora.
