The objective and vision of the Gemini Centres

The objective of the Gemini Centres is to develop large scientific groups of higher quality than either of the partners could manage to build up on its own. There is an international demand for first-class scientific groups on the part of both project sponsors and students. For this reason, the Gemini Centres have adopted the following vision:

Together for International Excellence

Other centres and arenas for cooperation

SINTEF also cooperates with NTNU and other partners in other arenas and via other centres.

Centre for Ships and Ocean Structures is one of NTNU's three Centres of Excellence. SINTEF is a partner in this centre.

Centre of Mathematics for Applications (CMA) is one of the University of Oslo's centres of excellence. SINTEF is an active partner in this centre.

The Gas Technology Center was established in 2003, and unifies the combined efforts of The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and SINTEF. The Gas Center seeks to exploit the synergism of multidisciplinary research into the natural gas value chain. The center is the largest natural gas research- and educational center in Norway.

The Centre for Renewable Energy (SFFE) unifies the competence of NTNU, SINTEF and IFE within the field of renewable energy, as well as initializing new and relevant research tasks. Research fields include small scale hydropower, wind-, solar-, wave-, and bio energy as well as social dimensions of energy use.
