  • Nordic Consortium for CO2 Conversion (NCCO2)

    project Samarbete Utsläpp Energi

    Fossil resources such as oil, gas, and coal are depleting, which implies that alternative technologies have to be developed to satisfy the demand of Nordic societies for fuels as well as for the thousands of products made out of oil, such as plastics, pharmaceuticals, and paints. In analogy to photosynthetic processes in nature, CO2 can be employed as an alternative carbon source in chemical, pharmaceutical, and energy-related industries to synthesize essential substances. CO2 is a sustainable and cheap raw material, but the development of chemical processes for efficient and selective conversion of CO2 to desired products is a major challenge.

  • Nordic Sound and Music Computing network

    project Gemenskap Samarbete Data

    The Nordic Sound and Music Computing Network (NordicSMC) will bring together a group of internationally leading sound and music computing researchers from all five Nordic countries, from Aalborg University (AAU), Aalto University (AALTO), KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), University of Iceland (UoI), and University of Oslo (UiO). The constellation is unique in that the network covers the field of sound and music from the soft to the hard, including the arts and humanities, the social and natural sciences as well as engineering, and with a high level of technological competency.

  • Operando Neutron Diffraction of Cathode Materials for Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries Jakob 07.10.2021 Samarbete Energi Teknologi

    The success of the rechargeable Li-ion battery is apparent to everyone, as most people in the Western world own at least one device powered by this technology. Now, this battery type is on the verge of becoming even more relevant with the transition from vehicles using a combustion engine to the more environmentally friendly battery-driven vehicles.

  • Resolving Lifetime Effects in Quantum Solids Jakob 07.10.2021 Samarbete Data Teknologi

    The proposed project deals with high-resolution measurements of the lifetime of magnetic excitations in simple (quantum) magnets and of lattice vibrations (phonons) in the nominally well-understood simple-metal superconductors. The results will be compared with model calculations, which are density functional theory (DFT) calculations for phonons, and concepts beyond linear spin wave theory for quantum magnets. The results will be essential for the understanding of basic notions in quantum effects in magnetism, as well as in the foundations of superconductivity in simple metals.

  • Nordic Neutron School: Theory, Experiment, and E-learning

    project Samarbete Utveckling Inlärning

    The Nordic Neutron Scattering Program (NNSP) is an initiative launched by NordForsk on preparing the Nordic scientific communities for using the European Spallation Source (ESS), which is under construction in Lund (S). The budget of NNSP is of the order 60 million NOK, of which most will go to employ and train Ph.D. student in cross-national projects within scientific fields and methods relevant in the context of ESS.

  • Beyond the gender paradox: Women's careers in technology-driven research and innovation in and outside of academe Jakob 07.10.2021 Samarbete Arbetsliv Teknologi

    The Nordic Centre of Excellence (NCoE) Beyond the gender paradox focuses on exploring women's careers in technology-driven work environments, and conducts both action(-for change), solution-focused research and development research in these contexts. It has four main research pillars, investigating these both inside and outside of academe in a cross-sectoral, comparative manner: regional knowledge and innovation systems; knowledge and innovation systems in research-intensive environments; e-health; and Digital Humanities (in the academy and in the gaming industry).

  • Nordic Centre for Research on Gender Equality in Research and Innovation (NORDICORE) Jakob 07.10.2021 Samarbete Mångfald Samhälle

    The ambition of the proposed NORDICORE Centre of Excellence is to create knowledge that will further advance gender balance and diversity in research and innovation. The future of the Nordic knowledge economy depends on our ability to attract the most highly qualified men and women to excel in the field of research and research based innovation. At a time where scientific excellence and international competition is increasing in significance and our welfare states are under ever greater pressure, it is crucial to produce solid knowledge on which to base further policies and practices in the field.

  • Assisted reproductive technology and safety in the Nordic countries Marianne 07.10.2021 Samarbete Data Teknologi

    The Committee of Nordic ART and Safety (CoNARTaS) was established five year ago and have the responsibility for the Nordic ART and Safety database including all children born after assisted reproductive technology (ART) in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark since 1982.
