Abstract
Through this article the authors describe the social service context of the HUSK (The University Research Program to Support Selected Municipal Social Service Offices) projects and briefly describe 10 of the 50 projects funded throughout the country. The welfare state context for the cases and the criteria for case selection are also provided. The 10 cases are organized into three categories that feature the role of dialogue, educational innovation, and service innovation. These cases provide the foundation for the analysis and implications located in the subsequent articles of the special issue.
Notes
1. NAV was about merging three agencies, the Employment Service and the Social Insurance Service (both operated by the national government) and the Municipal Social Services (local government).

4. One of the chapters describes a project in which researchers–teachers, users, and practitioners were involved, Brukermedvirkning med virkning, eller bare som pynt? [User Involvement With Effect, or Just as Garnish], edited by Woll, Slettebo, Bordtkorb, and Ostby. This was a subproject of HUSK Oslo Region, but for balance in the number of projects from the four HUSK regions, this was not included as a case.
