About the Gemini Centre
The NTNU and SINTEF Brussels Offices Gemini Centre is a joint initiative by NTNU and SINTEF Brussels Offices. The Gemini Centre is a model for strategic cooperation between NTNU and SINTEF, where we coordinate EU efforts and resources to Norway. The Gemini Centre will be operative from 2020 to 2024.
NTNU and SINTEF have shared facilities in Brussels since six years. The two offices provide strategic advice on European policies, promote the organizations' strategic positions, manage or participate in Brussels' strategic networks and initiatives, and offer professional services respectively to NTNU and SINTEF research communities.
The primary purpose of the Gemini Centre is to contribute to strengthen the NTNU-SINTEF partnership, and thereby impact on the number of projects both institutes participate in. By working closer together, the partners also aim to increase their strategic capacity to interact with authorities,businesses and the public sector, and to influence and promote joint interests and priorities. The partners may especially make a difference in positioning and pre-award phases.
