Thousands of Norwegian natural areas are being destroyed. Loss of biodiversity threatens both nature and human life. The ECoMAP and Ecogaps research projects will improve the way we manage and plan the use of land and water in Norway.
Students who have used the U-Say program have shown tendencies to choose more demanding science subjects and mathematics. This is a promising sign that the digital learning program is having a real effect.
Every year, 400 million tons of plastic are produced. 12 million tonnes of the plastic end up in the sea. Orkla and NHH's research project shows how research can give us less plastic, a cleaner environment and at the same time create new jobs.
With the use of artificial intelligence, the chairs from Flokk have become 200 grams lighter. This saves energy, reduces the use of materials and makes chairs cheaper in the store.
Digital development is happening fast, and artificial intelligence has become part of our everyday lives. To ensure that technology does not overtake us, the public sector can use research, development and continuous learning.
The Promenta Centre conducts research on the source of the good life. They are joined by 46 municipalities that work to promote good quality of life and mental health in the population.
Hans ravaged the summer of 2023, and the costs associated with the damage are estimated at NOK 1.6 billion so far. Climate scientists predict more extreme weather in the years to come. Through research and innovation at Klima 2050, a centre for research-based innovation (SFI), society is prepared for the weather of the future.
The shark has a central role in our ecosystem, but the three Norwegian shark species are threatened with extinction. Scientists are working hard to uncover their behaviour in order to manage the populations properly. The gain is crucial knowledge about the ocean's most charismatic predators and balance in the marine ecosystem.
Many years of research are behind the breakthrough Johanna Olweus and her team at the University of Oslo have achieved in their cancer research. Now they have achieved what few other Norwegian researchers have managed, a Proof of Concept grant from the European Research Council.
The world's first self-navigating vessel operates on a regular route between Moss and Horten in the Oslo Fjord. The ships are full of Norwegian technology, and could mean the start of a new Norwegian industrial adventure.
