One of the main goals for the SUBPRO Research Centre is to educate top quality candidates within subsea production and processing.

The Centre is currently financing 20 PhD students and 4 Post Doctor positions at NTNU. In addition, several Master students work as an integral part of the research teams.

The field of subsea production and processing is a multi-discipline area. Emphasis is put on collaboration and communication between the different sub-projects, through co-location of PhD candidates, PhD colloquia, team buildings and electronic collaborative environments.
