Centre for Land Tenure Studies (CLTS)

The Centre for Land Tenure Studies (CLTS) was established in 2011 at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) to further the study of land tenure - a broad and complex field of study cutting across many disciplines.

The CLTS seeks to:

• enhance collaboration across departments at NMBU;
• strengthen the visibility of NMBU activities within the field of land tenure;
• strengthen NMBU’s international collaboration and networks within the field;
• contribute to research and knowledge generation on land tenure issues;
• help build capacity in the South and in Norway within the field;
• disseminate policy lessons; and
• contribute to policy debates.
