SINTEF research areas

Manufacturing is the process of transforming raw materials into finished products. Our research provides sustainable solutions and competitive advantages for the manufacturing industry.

Marine ecosystems include biotic organisms and abiotic elements the free water masses and the seabed in all sea areas from fjords and coastal areas to the open sea.

Marine operations include traditional shipping, offshore operations and aquaculture operations. SINTEF offers solutions to analyze different types of marine operations. These solutions include model trials and numerical simulations.

Globalisation, population growth and better living standards are leading to ever-increasing world trade and transport needs. Maritime transport is the most energy efficient form of transport, accounting for 80% of the world’s freight. Norway is one...

Nanotechnology and advanced materials will have a significant impact on solving the grand challenges of our global society and create new business opportunities for existing and new industries.

SINTEF unites world-leading expertise in understanding of material properties, to the requirements of the end-products characteristics.

Mathematics and technology are inextricably linked, with advances in one field driving innovation in the other. Mathematics underpins algorithms and data analysis techniques are used across a diverse range of industries, while technology has...

Norwegian Aluminium and ferroalloys industries are today the cleanest and most energy-efficient in the world, resulting from a long tradition for continuous innovation, where SINTEF has played an important role.

SINTEF has expertise along the entire value chain from manufacturing to product for most industrial metals and metal alloys.

Microchips play a critical role in our technological development. They act as the "brain" in almost all modern technology and are of far greater significance to society than many might realize.

In the field of raw materials and minerals, SINTEF has expertise within characterization, processes, metallurgy/chemical properties and in defining quality. We have modern equipment and laboratories to support our research. An important area for us...

In 2030, green mobility will be one of the most important business areas in the world.
