Relevant competency
The EiT "Nano Energy Giga Impact" is ideal for students who are eager to develop broad interdisciplinary skills, combining expertise from engineering, social sciences, and humanities to address complex energy challenges. Relevant competencies include teamwork, collaboration, and leadership to effectively drive group projects. All students with a passion for innovation and sustainable development are welcome.
About the village
Nanotechnology is the control and restructuring of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 to 100 nanometers, where new phenomena enable new applications. Nanotechnologies provide the potential to enhance energy efficiency across all branches of industry and to economically leverage renewable energy production through new technological solutions and optimized production technologies. Nanotechnology innovations could impact each part of the value-added chain in the energy sector, including but not limited to energy sources, conversion, distribution, storage and usage. In the village, the groups will employ different literature review approaches, identify the key topics in nano energy, provide knowledge and deep understanding, and offer possible solutions to Norwegian industry and society. The group will get supervision from professors, Postdoc and PhD researchers at NTNU or external mentors, depending on the topic identified. The possible topics can be discussed between the groups and supervisors.
External partners
Potential external partners can be renewable energy companies and startups, nanotechnology research institutes, government agencies, and funding agencies etc.

Important information about EiT:
- The focus on teamwork skills and group processes is the unique feature of Experts in Teamwork (EiT)
- EiTs teaching methods depend on the contribution and presence of every participant throughout the semester. For this reason, attendance is compulsory on every village day.
- In contrast to many courses, the first few days are especially important in EiT. During this period, get to know each other and discuss what each individual can contribute. You will also draw up the compulsory cooperation agreement and start preparing a shared research question.
