Division of Ghent University, Belgium, focuses its research on the behaviour of ships in shallow and restricted navigation areas (channels, canals, harbours). Research topics are manoeuvring, interaction with banks and other ships, interaction with mud layers, probabilistic access policy. This research is mostly...

SINTEF coordinates the SURE2COATproject, which stands for...
...should satisfy the changing needs and tasks of the users on the move, and usually have a strong affinity with the physical world surrounding the users. We illustrate the potentials of this novel area for end-user development through the case of city exploration and we discuss how the different techniques...

How will the car fleet be in the future? Will the fleet of private cars and small commercial vans only consist of battery-electric vehicles, or are hydrogen vehicles becoming more common on the roads? Will we own our own cars? And do we need to maneuver the cars at all? These are questions the FuChar project...

The lecturers are: Sunday to Tuesday: Prof. Per Christian Hansen (DTU, Denmark), who will give an introduction to linear inverse problems and their...
...international markets such as the USA and Argentina. A tough mathematical nut to crack Every day, thousands of sports organisations, associations, clubs and competition organisers have to schedule fixtures for leagues and tournaments all over the world. Who is playing who, and when? Regulations require that...
Per Martin Stenstad They damage our ability to reproduce, and they pollute the natural environment. Yet chemicals known as hormone mimics can be found in consumer goods. Eventually they end up in our water. But we now have a way of capturing them. In a laboratory in Trondheim, researchers have managed...
...atmosphere and establish a balance between emissions and removal. Not all industries will be able to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The agricultural sector is a good example. But if we are to achieve total net zero emissions during the next 30 years, we have to capture one CO2 molecule and remove it...
...initiative from Asian developers, and the technological experience with floating constructions in Norway comes in handy. – Norway has a leading edge in floating constructions, but also in underground technology. It’s been a long time since we started storing oil and gas below the ground, says Øyvind...
SINTEF, DNV, Equinor and Aker BP have signed an agreement to make the world’s first pilot project for active, nature-based carbon capture at sea a reality. The goal is to develop technology and methods that can capture millions of tons of CO2 with the help of kelp cultivation. The project looks at cultivating...

...between 100 and 180 degrees. A new heat pump is able to deliver this, so it has great commercial potential. Such technology represents low-hanging fruit for an industrial sector aiming to reduce both greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption, say SINTEF researchers Michael Bantle (right) and Christian...

A new field of research is looking at the interaction between fish and robots. Results show that the fish are far more affected by their environment than we have been aware of. Photo: Maarja Kruusmaa Standard A sea cage can hold up to 200 000 farmed salmon. If the cage is damaged, such as by a hole...
...introduction to linear inverse problems and their (classical) theory. This will by done by means of some simple linear problems, in the form of deconvolution problems. The lectures will start with some "toy problems" from geophysics and signal/image processing, and then use all the tool-of-the-trade from...
