Each strategic research area has 10–15 interdisciplinary teams that bring together researchers around socially relevant topics. In addition, they all work on sustainability, digitalisation and the Global South Initiative, three topics that are important for the society of the future. 

The strategic research areas and their research teams are a gateway for public and private stakeholders who want to: 

• find the right expertise 
• get in touch with researchers 
• build consortia 
• develop projects 
• translate research into solutions that work in practice 
• collaborate with NTNU 

Decision-makers and the media also get easy access to researchers and the latest research. 

Each strategic research area is led by a director and supported by a strategic advisory board.
