SINTEF and a range of European partners will contribute to a safer Europe through our underwater and maritime technologies.

Concrete has never had to meet such high standards. Deviations cannot exceed millimetre level. Even the curvature of the Earth must be taken into account in building the world’s most advanced laboratories.

Researchers have built a drone that runs on hydrogen. This technology will enable us to fix power outages faster and replace dangerous helicopter missions with the new drones.

Building a port on land takes time. On water, the job can be done quickly. Hagbart Skage Alsos and his research colleagues at SINTEF are investigating how to build floating ports.

At a time when technological innovation and European defense cooperation are more important than ever, the ARMETISS project is in full swing, developing the next generation of soldier systems.

Beneath the surface in Ukraine, a silent and deadly threat remains after the war: mines, explosives, and toxic residues. More than 87,000 km² of land in Ukraine is potentially contaminated, an area larger than Austria.

By leveraging advanced materials science and insights into superconducting materials, a new SINTEF project aims to develop next-generation sensors that will make quantum technology more accessible.

Quantum technology makes it possible to solve far more complex computational challenges than conventional computers can, including in areas such as material development, medicine and optimization.

When a crisis occurs, individuals, communities and critical systems are affected. SINTEF is now participating in a major research project aimed at making the population and authorities better equipped to deal with crises that may arise in a troubled...

"Together, we will work to ensure that Norway is ready when the quantum wave arrives," says Trond Runar Hagen, Executive Vice President of SINTEF Digital.

Autonomous vessels becoming increasingly widespread.
