Academic Notes:
Cooperation with SINTEF (The Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research at the Norwegian Institute of Technology), one of the largest independent research institutes in northern Europe, allows for common research and use of staff, equipment and resources. Many of the special purpose laboratories are operated jointly.
