Mission Mjøsa is a research programme aimed at enabling value creation through the sustainable use of Mjøsa’s resources and ecosystem services, while at the same time safeguarding the lake’s ecological structure, functioning, productivity, critical infrastructure, and biodiversity.

Mission Mjøsa is therefore intended to serve as a tool both for promoting value creation, water quality, and food security, and for protecting the environmental values of Mjøsa.

A clear objective is to act as a pilot for a larger national effort towards improved knowledge-based management of freshwater resources, both in Norway and globally.
