Examples - NTNU and SINTEF in cooperation
Centres for Research-based Innovation The Centres for Research-based Innovation (CRI) scheme was established by the Research Council of Norway in 2006. NTNU and SINTEF work together in 10 CRI centres.
The Gas Technology Centre The Gas Centre seeks to exploit the synergism of multidisciplinary research into the natural gas value chain. The centre is the largest natural gas research- and educational centre in Norway.
Centre for Renewable Energy The Centre for Renewable Energy (SFFE) combines the competence of NTNU, SINTEF and IFE within the field of renewable energy, as well as initiating innovative and pertinent research tasks. Research fields include small scale hydropower, wind, solar, wave, and bio-energy as well as the social dimensions of energy use.
Gemini Centres NTNU and SINTEF have established a wide range of Gemini Centres. Scientific groups with parallel interests coordinate their scientific efforts and jointly operate their resources.
First in Europe: Europe's first export facility for liquefied natural gas (LNG) is being built in the northern part of Norway. It is largely due to the research on LNG technology at NTNU and SINTEF that these natural gas reserves in the Snøhvit field are worth commercial development. Photo: Eiliv Leren/Statoil
