Anatomical Museums and the Public Eye
Exploring innovative solutions to navigate the practical and ethical complexities of displaying human anatomy for public education and engagement. (MFEL4851)
Biofuels - a solution or a problem?
The production and utilization of biofuels is a multifaceted challenge, and it introduces problems beyond the scope of natural science and engineering, both on the environmental level, the political level and the ethical level. The village should be well suited for students with a wide range of backgrounds. (TKP4850)
Climate-Neutral Trondheim 2030?
Rethinking Trondheim’s municipal climate policy to reach the goal of becoming a just, climate-neutral city by 2030. (AAR4912)
Creating value from waste
We generate millions of tonnes of waste every day. Poor waste management has negative environmental, economic, and social effects that impact on everyone’s life. We can’t eliminate all waste, but we can minimize it by finding new ways to use old things, designing sustainable processes and systems that help to reduce waste, and changing the way in which we understand consumption and waste. The village theme encourages participants to explore all or any of these aspects as a way of creating economic and social value. (AM500218)
Data and Minds: Forging Future Frontiers
In a data-rich world, Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) hold potential in medicine and neuroscience. BMIs restore mobility, enhance cognition, redefine interaction. Ethical questions accompany this transformative journey. (TMA4851)
Digital communities and welfare
Threats and risks in the healthcare domain – Learn from the past, assess the present, and prepare for the future. (IMT4016)
Free Norway of Plastic: Co-developing local solutions for a global problem
In this course, we provide insights from environmental psychology, lifecycle- and design thinking in relation to project work. Bringing together multidisciplinary perspective, we would like to co-develop local solutions for a global problem – plastic pollution. (PSY3816)
Future user experiences in the digital era
The village is about the complex interplay between technology, people, and the context around it. Issues in this broader context therefore require an interdisciplinary approach and the village is open to students from different fields of study (e.g., design, computer science, communication technology and other technology fields, arts and humanities, social and behavioural sciences, …) (TTM4850)
Hydrogen in transportation for a safe and sustainable future
This village focuses on technological and societal issues of hydrogen use as fuel in transportation. The main objective is to identify current issues and suggest related solutions. (TPK4852)
Innovative societies with virtual reality and robots
This village explores virtual reality and social robots with artificial intelligence, and how they are changing the way we live today. (MFEL4853)
Ocean Justice
Ocean Justice aims to use digital media tools to make visible social, environmental and climate justice stories linked to the oceans. (AAR4923)
Plastic Free Oceans
Clearly, we must reduce the flow of plastic into the oceans, retrieve what’s already there, and recycle used plastics into valuable raw materials! But how? By whom? And who will pay for the effort? (TEP4854)
Saving the World isn’t Rocket Science: Building capacity to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services
We already know what is wrong with the world, but how can we fix it? In this village, we try to build world-saving capacity through creative and diverse projects. (BI2098)
Science and fiction
The village theme is about science and fiction in recent disasters and crimes in life, the media and the art. It is good for society because people will put forward their hypotheses, collect evidence and prove / disprove them. The village theme combines medicine, science and art. (MFEL4852)
Smart Energy Management
Which smart business models can enable the energy sector to transition towards a zero-carbon future? How to manage and integrate renewable energy technologies?
Smart structural design with aluminium
Light, strong, and infinitely recyclable. In a world with increased concern about environmental issues, aluminium alloys offer a green alternative to traditional building materials. (TKT4857)
Soft Technologies
Soft technologies are based on systems that easily can change form/function. This interdisciplinary science, innovation and technology is in close contact with people's everyday lives. (TFY4852)
The sea knows no boundaries – or does it? A collective exploration of international ocean governance
One of the most important sustainability transitions of our time happens in an area only recently gaining attention in public discourse: the ocean. The future of humanity depends on thriving oceans, but how are they governed? (SOS3804)
Told Digitally
Students will experiment with various new and emerging AI technologies to create a public, theatrical Lecture Performance with and about Artificial Intelligence for a general NTNU audience.
Virtual reality-based digital twins
A digital twin (DT) is a virtual representation of a physical asset enabled through data and simulators for real-time prediction, optimization, monitoring, control, and improved decision-making. Based on its capability, a DT can be ranked on a scale from 0-5 (0-Standalone, 1-Descriptive, 2-Diagnostic, 3-Predictive, 4-Prescriptive, 5-Autonomous). Currently, we have buildings, greenhouse, weather, autonomous ships, drones and wind farms that can be considered good use cases. (TTK4853)
Visual Appearance reproduction using 3D printing techniques – Challenges and Opportunities
This village is based on the challenges and opportunities in understanding and reproducing visual appearance using 3D printing techniques. (IMT4310)
Zombie Apocalypse! Preparing for the next pandemic
After the pandemic is before the next pandemic. Be prepared! Even for the Zombie Apocalypse! But how? Let’s plan together. (SOS3800)
Ålesund – a university town
Ålesund is site for a campus belonging to Norway’s largest university; NTNU. How does Ålesund benefit from this stronghold of knowledge in our midst? How may it shape the culture? In this village we seek to find novel ways to incubate and accelerate the transformation of Ålesund from a “town with a university” to a deeply rooted “university town”. (IE509118)
