SINTEF projects

The ALTT project focuses on Acceleration of Learning at the workplace

SINTEF will work, alongside four other research institutes, to improve the working environment in the Norwegian ferroalloy, silicon and silicon carbide plants. The project DeMaskUs will study how airborne dust is formed, how it affects human cells...

Ordinary ultrasound imaging techniques cannot resolve the blood flow in small vessels properly. By injecting microbubbles into the blood stream, even tiny capillaries will become visible in the ultrasound images. Visualization of abnormal blood flow...

This project will develop knowledge, technology and operational methods to advance current net cleaning technologies in order to improve cleaning efficacy and fish health while at the same time reducing the wear of net coatings and the discharge of...

RACE Current on location scale is a strategic project at SINTEF in which we will increase our understanding of water currents in and between the cages of a fish farm. The current structure is affected by the oceanographic conditions around the farm...

Snow conditions have an important impact on nature and human society. In Norway, one third of the annual precipitation falls as snow and snow information is important economically (hydropower), for infrastructure (construction safety and transport...

This PostDoc project is supported by the Research Council of Norway and will examine the risks of current biofouling management practices in Norwegian salmon aquaculture on fish health and biosecurity.

Helicopter manufacturer AgustaWestland has been carrying out model tests in our ship-model tank in order to study emergency landings on water and helicopters’ subsequent seaworthiness. Very few test facilities anywhere in the world perform tests of...

SINTEF has been working for the past several years in research on the manoeuvring characteristics of submarines.

The project aims at understanding the mechanism of sodium diffusion into cathode materials in primary aluminium production by a multidisciplinary approach.

What do people think about the institutions adopted to build peace after civil war? The short answer is simply: we do not know. The ‘Attitudes for peace’ research project addresses this shortcoming by conducting public opinion surveys in three...

Property data are one of the most valuable datasets managed by governments worldwide and extensively used in various domains by private and public organizations. Unfortunately these data are not always easy to access.

The goal of this project is to increase the understanding of the interaction between the quality of incoming materials, the hardening process and the resulting products. Thus, it is aimed to understand better how variations of incoming materials...

Due to the demand for large dimension billets of 7000 alloys, particularly in the aerospace and transportation industry, combined with the inherent difficulties of casting this group of alloys, there is a strong demand for a casting technology and...

European Research Infrastructure supporting Smart Grid Systems Technology Development, Validation and Roll Out - project

The objective of this project is to develop the future protective clothing for workers handling molten metal with improved overall protection for increased safety, performance and comfort during work.

The objectives of the project are to increase knowledge of the environmental effects of submarine deposition of fine grained tailings from the mineral industry and enable development of new sound environmental criteria and monitoring technologies...

Metals are and will continue to be a pre-requisite for modern society; houses, cars, planes, trains, computers and mobile phones - all rely on metals. To achieve sustainability, metals need to be produced with an energy- and natural resources...
