Gerd Kjølle, Chief Scientist at SINTEF and Professor at NTNU, has been honoured by the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences (NTVA). She receives the NTVA honorary award for her ground-breaking contributions to a more reliable electricity distribution grid and security of electricity supply. Her...
The Research Council of Norway recently awarded IFE and SINTEF 40 million NOK to upgrade their multiphase flow laboratories. This marks the beginning of a new era within multiphase flow research in Norway and a re-vitalized collaboration between IFE and SINTEF. For the very first time it will be possible...
Marine Technology at NTNU and parts of SINTEF Ocean’s activities. The new facility will be approximately 10,000 square metres larger than the current facility, and this expansion will mainly take place where parking spaces are currently located. Ocean Space Centre will include wet and dry laboratories with...
...extensive research in the second half of the 1970es and the 1980es into data structures for CAD. Soon many CAD-systems included boundary structures. However, although the implementation followed the same basic ideas, the implementations were different and exchange of volume models between CAD-systems was...
...tests in laboratory and various medium and large scale field tests. The final verification will take place during a large-scale field experiment in 2009. The experiments will be carried out as a cooperation between a number of scientists and organisations (US, Norway, Russia and others). At present we...
A new guideline presents possible solutions for installing glass, protective boards, sealing lists, door frames and door hardware when upgrading the fire resistance of older wooden doors. Old wooden doors in cultural heritage buildings have historic value, but can be amongst the weaker points with regards...
Objective: Document previous and on-going work on validation of simulation models Short WP description: Review and discuss previous and on-going work on validation of simulation models used in different sectors of transport, process and nuclear industries. Arrange workshops on validation methods used...
...school areas has changed radically the last decade, and the energy saving potential in modern schools needs to be reanalyzed. In addition, technology advances with sensors, communication and control systems open up new opportunities for more robust and energy efficient DCV-systems. Furthermore, the decision...
...the world a glimpse of the future of shipbuilding at a 1960 congress. His speech led to the formation of a distinct school of computer-aided design and manufacturing. A supertanker takes shape with the aid of the Autokon software package, which was developed at what is now SINTEF in Oslo during the...
Iceland, and Norway, highlights Nordic companies developing solutions for a more sustainable future. Cartesian has developed a thermal box that stores excess heat and cold. This solution allows users to distribute their energy usage throughout the day, reducing both energy consumption and CO₂ emissions...
...electronics and materials enable a revolutionary way of thinking of protection against the cold. Performance and comfort can be improved by new textile materials which can adapt their thermal and moisture transport properties to changing environment and exercise levels. The main thermal and moisture properties...
The MEMS-Pie project will develop reliable technology and qualified procedures for integration of piezoelectric thin films into micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) on an industrial scale. The results will increase the competitiveness of European SMEs engaged in the MEMS market. Many small companies...
Objective to provide guidance for the experimental programme and to define AST protocols. This will be achieved by: Identification of relevant operational conditions for µ-CHP and related stationary applications Definition of the experimental programme and establishment of AST protocols...
During each TRISTAN symposium, prestigious and excellent plenary speakers share their views on important topics of current concern in transportation. The plenary speakers at TRISTAN VII are: Martine Labbé, Université Libre de Bruxelles: Bilevel programming and network pricing Rolf Möhring, TU Berlin: Dynamic...

We kindly ask everyone to reply to the e-mail acknowledging it and confirming that the paper will be presented at VeRoLog 2014 and by whom. We are looking forward to see you in Oslo at...
...are in the cleaning industry and the building and construction sector, and are held by immigrants. “We would not have been able to fill these positions ourselves,” says SINTEF scientist Hans Torvatn, “but this also means that contracts and working conditions are complex, and it is often price that counts...
...satellite-based system aims to ensure that helicopters and light aircraft are prevented from colliding with power lines and other obstacles. Collisions between light aircraft and helicopters and high voltage cables, wind turbines, high-rise buildings, oil platforms and telephony masts are all too frequent. A small...
...identify changes and impacts in the ocean environment caused by natural variations or anthropogenic activities on a global, regional and local scale. This combines different scientific disciplines (ecotoxicology, chemistry, sensor systems, modelling) to enhance the decision support tool and environmental...
