Research ERC grant to Ellingsen to better understand the climate on earth Professor Simen A. Å. Ellingsen has been awarded the prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council ERC. He will investigate how ocean waves mix surface water into the deep, something that can improve climate simulations. Research Awarded Prize for Best Space-related Master´s Thesis Rannveig Marie Færgestad wrote her MSc thesis at SFI CASA in spring 2021. The title was «Modeling and simulation of hypervelocity impact against debris shields for spacecraft protection». Back then, she called it her dream thesis. Obviously, the space industry had a taste for it, too. Studies and student life NTNU wants 200 student places for refugees NTNU wants to be allocated 200 temporary student places for Ukrainian refugees from this autumn onward. Campus development Norway freezes research and education cooperation with Russia Rector Anne Borg supports the restrictions that the government is now imposing on academic cooperation with Russia. Support to everyone who is affected by the war – It is unreal to witness the outbreak of a major war in Europe again. This is a serious attack on democracy, and I am shocked, says Rector Anne Borg at NTNU. Research Norway’s first university research satellite in orbit around the earth NTNU’s first research satellite was launched from Florida at 16:25 Norwegian time this afternoon. The small satellite «HYPSO-1»’s mission is to observe algal blooms in ocean and lakes. Research Historical launch of Norwegian small satellite This week NTNU will launch the first research satellite made by a Norwegian university. The small satellite «HYPSO-1» will take off with a Spacex Falcon-9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The mission: to scan ocean and lakes from 500 km above the earth. Campus development NTNU becomes partner to the New European Bauhaus initiative NTNU has been selected by the European Commission to become partner to the New European Bauhaus initiative. “This will be an important and exciting partnership for us”, says Tor Grande, Pro-Rector for Research. Research Will conduct radical research on clean fuel Ammonia as fuel represents a green transition for the marine industry, and NTNU and SINTEF have now received funding to research some well-known issues within the ignition and combustion process.
