Strategic Research Areas

Our five strategic research areas bring together researchers and knowledge to help develop solutions to the complex challenges of our time.

Here, policymakers, collaborators and the media get easy access to experts and the latest research.

About

Each strategic research area has 10–15 interdisciplinary teams that bring together researchers around socially relevant topics. In addition, they all engage with sustainability, digitalisation and the Global South Initiative, three topics that are important for future society. 

The strategic research areas and their research teams are a gateway for public and private stakeholders who want to collaborate with NTNU. Stakeholders can:

  • find the right expertise 
  • get in touch with researchers 
  • build research consortia 
  • develop projects 
  • translate research into solutions that work in practice 

Each strategic research area is led by a director and supported by a strategic advisory board.
