Research project
NORPART Project UDSM-NTNU Mobility Program in Energy Technology (UDSM-NTNU)
Mobility of staff and students between University of Dar es Salaam and Norwegian University of Science and Technology in the field of Energy Technology.
Project timeline
2019-2024
Report 2025
Some highlighs:
- NTNU professors from 4 departments and UDSM professors from 2 departments have participated in the program by joint supervision of MSc/PhD research projects. These are dedicated staff members who have also been supportive during the startup of the master programs at UDSM.
- 27 UDSM MSc students and 3 PhDs have had visiting periods at NTNU, and 23 NTNU students have visited UDSM.
- Industry partners have contributed primarily on the oil and gas side, with direct supervision support, hosting short term visits, excursions to industrial sites and laboratories and provisions of software licenses.
- The capacity for research training has been supported at UDSM by shipment of laboratory training equipment, notably for multiphase pipe flows and solar thermal systems.
- The NORPART project has had good synergies through coordination with a parallel Erasmus+ capacity building project and a parallel and NORHEDII project, both including a group of African universities
