NTNU Ocean School of Innovation

In 2014, the NTNU AMOS School of Innovation was founded.

NTNU Technology Transfer AS (TTO) has had a vital role in developing and organizing the innovation school along with the Centre’s management team.

Many PhD candidates have participated in the school’s courses and innovation lunches since then.

The concept was so successful that in 2016, the NTNU AMOS School of Innovation expanded and changed its name to NTNU Ocean School of Innovation, which now also includes the Centres for Research-Based Innovation (SFI) Exposed, Move, Smart Maritime and SAMCoT.
