 In the official list of correct spellings of names of government agencies, the name is spelled "Oslomet – storbyuniversitetet" in Bokmål and Nynorsk.The use of any variation of the abbreviation "Oslo Met" is also disputed because the state Norwegian Meteorological Institute objects to its usage due to its similarity to one of their own international abbreviations; for example the World Meteorological Organization, an agency of the United Nations, recommended "MET OSLO" as an international standard abbreviation for the Norwegian Meteorological Institute already in 1956, and the institute uses "MET" as its abbreviation for domestic purposes and "MET Norway" or "MET Oslo" internationally; MET Oslo is also used domestically to refer specifically to its headquarters in Oslo.A branding document published on the institution's website and aimed at its employees claims the institution should be referred to as "OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University;" however the Language Council rejected several of the key claims in the document and the document was subject to ridicule in the "Dagsnytt Atten" news magazine of the state broadcaster NRK, in which the management at Oslo Metropolitan University refused to participate.
