EFFORT can contribute to 25 % reduction of CO₂ release on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and Globally!

This project aims to halve the energy consumption in new hospital buildings in Norway. It is a four-year, user-driven innovation project supported by the Norwegian Research Council.

The project's main objective is to obtain new knowledge and a technological basis for future biomass measurement systems with a potential to approach the desired accuracy, reliability and operational requirements in large cage aquaculture systems.

The vision of SOCIETIES is to develop a complete, integrated Community Smart Space (CSS), which extends pervasive systems beyond the individual to dynamic communities of users.  CSSs will embrace on-line community services, such as Social Networking...

UbiCompForAll is about providing software development tools to users so they can easily tailor and compose services in ubiquitous environments. The main challenge of UbiCompForAll is to come up with solutions that both handle the engineering aspects...

In this project, we study how different levels of outsourcing may influence upon organizations’ ability to prevent sickness absence and exclusion from working life. Outsourcing refers to a business strategy where organizations focus on their core...

The project R2M-Si ("Roll to Module Silicon") investigates an innovative approach of manufacturing modules of crystalline silicon thin-film solar cells.

Transmission system operation with large penetration of Wind and other renewable Electricity sources in Networks by means of innovative Tools and Integrated Energy Solutions

The project's goal is to develop effective technology for automatic removal of the black membrane in cod to salted fish and klippfish. This will help to reduce the physical workload of the operator that removes the black membrane manually.

The trial of offering a foreign language at the 6th -7th grade is a project directed by the Norwegian Directorate of Education and Training. It spanned 2 years from autumn 2010 until spring 2012. SINTEF has been responsible for evaluating the project...

ColdWear: Textiles and clothing for improved safety, performance, and comfort in the High North

A new development phase for OF-Mod has now started. OF-Mod (Organic Facies Model) simulates the deposition and burial of organic carbon in the marine environment in 3D. The simulation results can be used to predict the spatial and temporal occurrence...

Improvedo (Improved vessel design and operation) aims to improve the design and operation of vessels. Better operation will include giving the captain a better basis for making decisions that affect fuel consumption. At the same time, more...

A new development phase for OF-Mod (Organic Facies Model) software that simulates the deposition and burial of organic carbon in marine environment in 3D.

Enhancing hydraulic fracturing on the basis of numerical simulation of coupled geomechanical, hydrodynamic and microseismic processes.

The main objective and target innovation of this proposed project is a new and improved coating for metal (stainless steel) bipolar plates for PEM fuel cells, which ensures a lifetime of more than 10 000 hours with a high feasibility for low cost...

Selection with flexible net panels give encouraging results in the midwater trawl fisheries for cod and can thus be an alternative or complement to grid selection in midwater trawl fisheries

The development and implementation of bio-refinery processes is an absolute necessity and the key to meet the vision towards bio-based economy. The EuroBioRef concept is an integrated, sustainable and diversified bio-refinery involving all biomass...
