Biobank1

Biobank1® er den regionale forskningsbiobanken i Helse Midt-Norge, og ble etablert i 2002 som et samarbeidsprosjekt mellom NTNU og Helse Midt-Norge RHF. Biobank1 samler inn og lagrer biologisk materiale og helseopplysninger fra ulike pasientgrupper, til bruk i forskning. Som biologisk materiale regnes organer, deler av organer, celler og vev, og bestanddeler av slikt materiale fra levende og døde mennesker. Vårt overordnede mål er å bedre diagnostikk og behandling av sykdom. Vi jobber med å samordne og standardisere innsamling av materiale til forskning, ved å integrere dette i sykehuslogistikken. På denne måten vil biobanking utføres på en forsvarlig måte, med minst mulig risiko for pasienten. Ved at materiale av høy kvalitet gjøres tilgjengelig via Biobank1, økes kvaliteten på den forskningen som utføres. Vi ønsker å bidra til å senke den byråkratiske terskelen ved oppstart av nye forskningsprosjekter. Biobank1s hovedadministrasjon holder til på sykehusområdet i Trondheim. I tillegg har Biobank1 ressurser og aktivitet ved alle helseforetakene i Helse Midt-Norge: Helse Møre og Romsdal, Helse Nord-Trøndelag og St. Olavs hospital.

Sirius Center For Research-Driven Innovation

SIRIUS is a Norwegian Centre for Research-driven Innovation that addresses the problems of scalable data access in the oil & gas industry. The centre combines public funding for basic research with funding from its industry partners into an 8 year programme for industrial innovation. The centre started 1st November 2015 and will, according to plan, finish 31st October 2023. SIRIUS draws together a consortium of leading industrial organisations across the oil & gas value chain, including operators (Statoil), service companies (Schlumberger and DNV-GL) and IT companies (Computas, Evry, fluid Operations AG, Dolphin Interconnect Solutions, fluid Operations AG, IBM, Kadme, Numascale, OSISoft and SAP). In SIRIUS these companies work with researchers from the University of Oslo, NTNU, the University of Oxford and Simula Research Laboratories. The SIRIUS researchers are experts in IT technologies, including high-performance and cloud computing, database technology, semantic technologies and natural language processing. The centre also includes researchers in the area of working practices involving novel technology. The centre aims to provide the oil & gas business with better ways to access and use the massive amounts of data that are generated in projects and daily operation. Problems with data access are made more acute by the rise of big data, the internet of things and digitalisation of enterprises. SIRIUS approaches these problems using an interdisciplinary approach, as successful innovation depends on the combination of technologies. The centre is designed to support technological innovation through a portfolio of projects defined by the centre ́s board. These projects develop basic technology in laboratory projects and then move the technology through prototypes to pilots in industrial applications. The centre ́s intellectual property model is designed to build a core of open knowledge on which commercial applications can be built.

Sustainability Law

The overarching theme of the research group Sustainability Law is to conduct analyses of law with the teleological aim of identifying normative solutions that contribute to sustainability as a global societal and legislative goal. The research group engages in particular with issues related to Sustainable Business, Sustainable Finance and Sustainable Circular Economy. The research group Sustainability Law understands sustainability, drawing on sustainability science and research, as securing social foundations for humanity now and for the future while mitigating pressures on planetary boundaries. Sustainability includes mitigating pressures on climate and biodiversity as core planetary boundaries, and promoting human and cultural rights, peace, rule of law, social justice and good governance as social foundations. This research-based concept of sustainability gives us an entry point to analyse and engage with laws and policies, including legislative objectives, principles and rules as well as social norms and market and technological structures. Our scope encompasses the international and European level, and the level of selected nation states, through comparative and separate in-depth legal analyses. Our research encompasses law and policy efforts towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in this important decade towards 2030, when the SDGs are meant to be achieved.

Hydroflex

HydroFlex - Increasing the value of Hydropower through increased Flexibility - is a H2020 project, which aims to meet the challenge of increasing the flexibility of hydropower by performing well-focused research and innovation actions on the key bottlenecks of hydropower plants that restricts their capability to have many start-stops and high ramping rates. More specifically, HydroFlex will consider system dynamics and fatigue loads on the turbine and electrical equipment, and mitigation of the environmental impact with up to 30 start-stop-cycles per day and high ramping rates. The main barriers and factors influencing more flexible operation will be verified, and technical solutions to solve and/or circumvent the challenges will be developed and tested in the laboratory and at a hydropower plant. The project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 764011.
