Project examples

ProWind - Norwegian Infrastructure Platform for Foundation Technology Research in Offshore Wind

ProWind aims to strengthen Norway’s role in offshore wind and establish a unique national infrastructure for research dedicated to offshore wind.

SAFERCLAY: SAFER coexistence in quick CLAY areas

SAFERCLAY is a research project focusing on developing methods to assess changes in quick clay landslide risk with time. SAFERCLAY will provide a new approach for adapted and sustainable risk management for living and building in quick clay areas, including recommendations to ensure both public and environmental safety.

MINEYE - Earth observation techniques for mine life cycle monitoring

The MINEYE project aims to optimize European mining operations by addressing the entire mining value chain, from explorations to mine closure. The project will develop tools for visualization and decision-making, supported by dynamic updates of Earth Observation data and knowledge using machine learning and digital twin technologies.
