The proportion of herring that are filleted has increased from 30% to 50% from 2003 to 2010, and it is expected that it will increases in future. This project will develop a system that takes out the individual fractions from the fillet to make use...

Specialist health care in the Nordic countries; Hospital structure, governance and differencies in organisation of care may explain cost differences between countries.

The current methods of measurement for quantity of bait in the catch does not give a correct picture of the danger of belly bursting. The objective of the project is to develop an accurate and objective measuring instrument.

Solarteam is a Eurostars funded project where Clean Silicon is lead of a consortium consisting of enterprises and research institutes from Norway, Germany, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Our aim is to reach solar grade silicon (SGS...

The purpose of the project is to study assessment practices in four curricular areas (Norwegian, English, Mathematics and Physical Education) in primary education and in the first year of secondary education in Norway.

Enhancing biomass utilization without risking its sustainability is a European energy priority, and can be linked to targets for curbing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020 and 50% by 2050: enhanced energy security and integration with other...

Research in chemistry and materials science has traditionally been based on laboratory experiments. It is, however, also possible to compute the properties of molecules and materials using mathematical models based on basic theoretical physics, and...

This project intends to construct a technological platform for longlining, which will have a potential market ten times as large as the present market. In addition to being an automated alternative for those who operate longline manually or with...

This project will develop and demonstrate Highly Efficient Tubular Membranes for OxyCombustion. Oxycombustion is a promising option for implementing cost-efficient carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) in future coal fired power plants.

In recent years there have been many media reports about absenteeism and Norwegian workers' morale. Very few of these stories have referred to research. We believe attitudes to work and absence are shaped before people enter the labor market.

Norway has the opportunity to develop the macroalgae cultivation to a new, large industry. Industrial cultivation of macroalgae gives many opportunities within the production of bioenergy, food and health food, chemicals, and contributes to...

This is a multidisciplinary project which focuses on new sensor technologies and automation processes for sustainable food and fishing industry. Methods and tools which will be developed in this project will be used for quality control and grading of...

The core concept of Accelerated Metallurgy is to deliver an integrated pilot-scale facility for the combinatorial synthesis and testing of many thousands of unexplored alloy formulations. This facility would be the first of its kind in the world and...

In order to improve reliability related to operation of flexible risers there is need for cooperation, improvements and systematic work. The starting point should be an industry consensus of what is the current status and secondly promote and obtain...

The objective of the CARENA project is to accelerate the introduction of membrane reactors into the European chemical industry by the development of novel material and processes for the conversions of alkanes and CO₂ into valuable chemicals. In a...
