Strategic areas:
Faculties
Silicon smelting and solar cell efficiency
Silcon is the most important component in solar cells, but it must be of ultra pure quality, and consumes vast amounts of energy to produce. Researchers at NTNU and SINTEF are trying to change that.
The University has given priority to six research areas where NTNU is to be among the internationally leading universities.
