Research Group S3E3 projects

RG S3E3 members are actively engaged in national and international projects, funded e.g. by the European Union's various research programmes (H2020, Interreg), Nordforsk (Nordic Council of Ministers),  Research Council of Norway and national authorities. The projects typically are based on collaboration with other universities or research organisations from Norway, the other Nordic countries, Europe and beyond. Often these projects include close cooperation with international organisations, national, regional and local authorities, industries and civil society actors.
