Earthresque Sfi

earthresQue er et Senter for Forskningsdrevet Innovasjon (SFI) finansiert av Norges forskningsråd og partnere. Senteret vil utvikle teknologier og systemer for bærekraftig håndtering og behandling av avfall og overskuddsmasser. Bakgrunn: I dag utgjør forurenset jord, avfall fra bygg og anleggssektoren, slagg og aske mer enn 70% av deponerte materialer i Norge. I tillegg er det store mengder rene overskuddsmasser, som jord, knust stein og fjell, som går til massetipp. Dette er sløsing med verdifulle ressurser, deponivolum og arealer. Målet med SFI earthresQue er å utvikle teknologier, løsninger, verdikjeder og rammevilkår for en mer bærekraftig håndtering og behandling av avfall og overskuddsmasser. Forskningen i senteret bygger på tett samarbeid mellom brukerpartnere og forskningsmiljøene slik at kunnskapen som utvikles svarer på behov i bransjen. Forskningen vil også innlemmes i utdanningsprogrammene på NMBU og BI for å sikre kompetent arbeidskraft. Hovedmålet med forskningen i earthresQue er å utvikle teknologi, systeminnovasjon og et styringsrammeverk for å oppnå bærekraftig forvaltning og behandling av avfall og overskuddsmasser, basert på et vitenskapelig fundament og utdanning. Det overordnede målet med senteret er mer innovasjon og verdiskaping i bransjen som håndterer og gjenvinner avfall og overskuddsmasser. Fremstående forskningsmiljøer samarbeider med forskningsaktive brukere om å utvikle kompetanse og teknologi som kan fornye og videreutvikle både næringsliv og offentlig sektor. Tidsrom: 2020-2028. The earthresQue SFI centre is a Centre for Research-based Innovation (SFI) funded by the Research Council of Norway. The centre will develop technologies and systems for sustainable handling and treatment of waste and surplus masses.

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.

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 - 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.
