NTNU and SINTEF Partnership
NTNU and SINTEF Partnership
NTNU works closely with SINTEF, Scandinavia's largest independent research institute and one of the largest contract research organizations in Europe. SINTEF has expertise in technology, medicine and the social sciences.
Our collaboration started in 1950 when SINTEF was founded by NTH, the Norwegian Institute of Technology (a predecessor to today's NTNU), and has resulted in many advances for society.
Examples of NTNU and SINTEF partnership
Centres for Environment-friendly Energy Research (CEER)
The Centres for Environment-friendly Energy Research (CEER) conduct long-term research at a high international standard, with the aim of tackling energy-related challenges. NTNU and SINTEF work together in several CEER centres.
Centres for Research-based Innovation (CRI)
The Centres for Research-based Innovation (CRI) scheme was established by the Research Council of Norway in 2006. NTNU and SINTEF work together in several CRI centres.
Gemini Centres
NTNU and SINTEF have established a wide range of Gemini Centres. Scientific groups with parallel interests coordinate their scientific efforts and jointly operate their resources.
