It is a long tradition that the top management of Hydro once a year comes to Trondheim to meet with NTNU and SINTEF leaders and key research personnel involved in the Hydro/NTNU/SINTEF research collaboration. The day started with a gathering in the premises of SFI PhysMet at Gløshaugen. During the day, visits were made to a number of NTNU/SINTEF laboratories, which are extensively used in  Hydro/NTNU/SINTEF collaborative projects and activities, including the transmission electron microscopy laboratories in Chemistry building 1 (NORTEM facilities), where Professor Randi Holmestad and colleagues showed around, and the laboratories in Perleporten with laser welding, with Business developer Magnus Eriksson, SINTEF Industry as the host. Research Director, Nina Dahl, SINTEF, and SFI PhysMet Board Chairperson, guided the guests to the different laboratories at NTNU and SINTEF during the day. It was the first time the new CEO in Hydro visited NTNU and SINTEF and he was impressed by the extent of the collaboration between Hydro and NTNU/SINTEF and all the enthusiastic researchers the Hydro delegation met during their visit.
