New heat-exchanger designs are more compact and lighter to further...
Storvik Aqua is in cooperation with SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture, Marine Harvest and Lerøy Hydrotech developing a concept for automatic counting of mobile and stationary stages of salmon lice. To monitor the amount of lice in an aquaculture facility and determine when to initiate countermeasures, regular...
...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) and for recreational purposes (outdoor life and skiing). Today, monitoring and forecasting...
Sustainable transformation of rural communities via technical, social and organizational innovations The sustainability challenges faced by rural communities in the European Union (EU) are multifaceted, and empowering these communities to address them is crucial to achieve climate neutrality by 2050...
...visual and tactile capabilities, outstanding manipulative dexterity, and an ability rapidly to learn new tasks in a way that is still beyond our understanding. What we do know is that humans carry out advanced manipulation tasks using multi-modal sensory perception, combining their visual and tactile...
The main goal of MARINAL is to strengthen and extend the use of aluminium alloys in marine applications. Logo By electrically isolating aluminium from more noble metals, aluminium alloys have successfully been used in marine environments for many decades. However, the limited engineering experience...

The More GoJelly! project will allow us to increase the participation of these Norwegian actors, and we will...
...innovative utilization of large amounts of load and response measurements from robust and advanced sensors, a digital framework complying with recognised open standards for data exchange, and hybrid analysis and modelling which combines physics-based and data-driven models. dTHOR will consolidate end-users...
...in both low and high salinity offshore waters with key industry partners. The project will achieve at least TRL7 and paving the way for a low- impact and low-carbon seafood industry. OLAMUR will result in far-reaching progress to provide a framework for fair, healthy, safe, climate – and environmentally...
Reducing environmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions in commercial fisheries. RightFish aims to improve the design and development of low-impact towed fishing gear. Towed fishing gear disturb ecological communities on the sea floor, release CO2 from the sediments, and require large amounts of fuel...
...the role of the safety representatives, and challenges and opportunities related to their participation in safety work in building and construction projects. The project will provide insight on how to use safety representatives´ competence in safety activities, and whether current practices ensure a real...
...research project that aims to analyse the opportunities and challenges associated with a transition from fossil-based fuels to low- or zero-carbon technologies. From previous research we know that such 'sustainability transitions' are complex and lengthy processes. This is due to various barriers (technology...
...learning and decision support that combine the knowledge in dynamic models with simulation, gaming and gamification. The goal is to accelerate learning and enable operators to make better decisions at the workplace. Accelerated learning will speed up technology transfer and implementation and represents...
...objective is to identify and address a number of issues that are critical to the overall objective of promoting a "smart" bioeconomic transition across Norway. Bioeconomy means sustainable production of renewable resources from land, fisheries and aquaculture environments and their conversion into food...
...through development and validation of new and unique technology for data collection during crowding of salmon. The project addresses one of the most demanding operations in aquaculture: crowding, which in conjunction with e.g. de-lousing operations has increased in frequency, and is of great significance...
The BYEFOULING project addresses high volume production of low toxic and environmentally friendly antifouling coatings for mobile and stationary maritime applications.The search after solutions aiming at reducing Green House Gas-emissions across the whole marine value chain has begun. This will have...
...established a research project to learn more about the effects and hazards of underwater gas blowouts and gas leaks. Gas blowouts from gas pipelines and wells are a potential safety issue for surface activities associated with day-to-day operations and accident intervention. In order to improve safety, there...
Parks at Mo, Skogmo and Verdal, in cooperation with researchers at SINTEF and Nord University, have established a BIA network for research-based innovation projects, focusing on digitalization. The objective is to develop and strengthen the competitiveness of the individual companies and the industry clusters...
