At a meeting in Kristiansand Wednesday, the institute presented projects and competence that fits NODE well.
“We have a number of common interest,” says Martin Foss, Research Director of Fluid Flow and Environmental Technology at IFE.
Research activities at IFE are by large focused in areas that GCE NODE is also focusing on, such as digitalization, offshore energy, carbon capture, subsea mining, geothermal energy and more.
“We are certainly interested in connecting with a research foundation that has a global mindset and is, in certain areas, among the global frontrunners. We had a very good and productive meeting and we will look for ways to cooperate,” says Ellingsen.
