Gemini Centres
Gemini Centres form a model for strategic cooperation in which scientific groups with parallel interests coordinate their scientific efforts and jointly operate their resources. SINTEF and NTNU have established a wide range of Gemini Centres. The Gemini Centre model fosters the development of large scientific groups of higher quality than any of the partners could manage to build up alone.
