From the SEA to the SOLution. An integrative assessment of marine pollution in a changing Arctic

Marine chemical pollution poses known threats to human health and to biodiversity, ecosystem and societal services. The Arctic is a major sink of global mercury (Hg) pollution. Arctic sediments, sea and glacial ice constitute vast Hg reservoirs. Recent studies raise concerns about their increasing role as local Hg sources. In a rapidly warming Arctic, the consequences of potentially increased environmental Hg on marine biota remain unknown. The objective of SEASOL is to identify the pathway(s) of Hg bioaccumulation in marine food webs of the High Arctic Kongsfjorden (Svalbard). This changing glacial fjord is recognised as a ‘natural laboratory’ of climate change in the Arctic. The fellow’s earlier research has shown the sole measurement of Hg levels as insufficient to connect biotic Hg dynamics to environmental change, whereas the analysis of Hg stable isotopes proved to be a promising tool for source discrimination and biotic transfer. SEASOL will build on the novel application of stable isotope analysis to identify the sources of Hg within the fjord system and the pathways to Hg accumulation within sentinel marine species. On the short-term, the study will provide fundamental knowledge to help understand how emerging sources of Hg from rapid environmental change will impact Arctic marine predators. On the long-term, SEASOL will contribute to the development of early-warning, adaptive management strategies, including modelling, for mitigating the cumulative impact of pollutants and climate change on Arctic marine species. This multidisciplinary approach and the central position of the host institution (Norwegian Polar Institute) in the field of Polar Research will equip the Fellow with a broad set of new skills and lay the foundation for building her specific niche as a future leader in marine pollution science.

Optimization of Free Space Optical Communication Link based Drones for Search and Rescue Operations in the Arctic Region

The Arctic region is witnessing more frequent shipping accidents than ever which require accurate search and rescue operations. The existing communication systems use drones with radio frequency (RF) technology, which has limited bandwidth and cannot offer 4G/5G connectivity due to harsh weather constraints. It further limits the capacity of drones and affects the resolution of images and videos. The current research proposes to design free space optical communication (FSOC) link-based drones that can enhance connectivity between multiple drones and rescue ships as well as the capacity of drones to produce high resolution images and videos. The proposed FSOC-based drones can provide highspeed connectivity than the existing RF technology. The research will collect atmospheric turbulences data from the Arctic region and use it for designing the FSOC link. Furthermore, to enhance the capacity of FSOC-based drones, the research will design advanced multiplexing schemes (Mode Division Multiplexing and Orthogonal Code Division Multiple Access) and to ensure link stability, omnidirectional receiver will be designed. The research will further evaluate the performance of proposed FSOC link under the impact of various atmospheric turbulences. The expected outcomes of this research will lead to the optimisation of FSOC-based drones in expanding search areas and improving communication systems for SAR operations in the Arctic region.

AQUASERV – RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES FOR SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE, FISHERIES AND THE BLUE ECONOMY

The overarching objectives of AQUASERV are to bring together, enhance, integrate and customise RI capacities (including facilities, instruments and expertise) and through the provision of transnational access (on-site or remote) and/or virtual access, to significantly further scientific advance and promote and facilitate the implementation of European Common Fisheries Policy, the Farm to Fork Strategy, the Sustainable Blue Economy and the European Green Deal. 

AQUASERV will achieve these objectives by offering scientists from academia and business remote and on-site transnational (TA) and virtual (VA) access to an advanced set of European research infrastructures and its nodes related to research and management of marine and freshwater biological resources, food and biotechnology. These include the European Marine Biological Resource Centre ERIC (EMBRC), the Analysis and Experimentation on Ecosystems ERIC, The Aquaculture for Excellence for Aquaculture in Fish (Aquaexcel), and the Infrastructure for Promoting Metrology in Food and Nutrition (METROFOOD), as well as the International Council for Exploration of the Sea, both a service provider and stakeholder. It also includes the Research Infrastructure for Science and Innovation Policy Studies (RISIS) to bring contributions from the social sciences and to bring results nearer to policy makers ensuring societal impact. 

To enhance, integrate and customise RI capacities, collaboration between partners and new pipelines to meet the objectives of the project will be developed during the first 3 years and will make available  to users.  To ensure these capacities will not be lost, a sustainability work package involving stakeholders will address the project legacy.  

To maximize impact, AQUASERV will build a communication network among the partnership and develop a dissemination and outreach programme. Furthermore, an advanced training programme will be developed to capture future users and will be updated during the p

Aqua Research Infrastructure Services for the health and protection of our unique, oceans, seas and freshwater ecosystems

AQUARIUS will provide a highly comprehensive suite of integrated research infrastructures appropriate to addressing significant challenges for the long-term sustainability of our unique oceans, seas and freshwater ecosystems. For the first time, diverse research infrastructures will be combined to facilitate the work of researchers and key stakeholders focused on challenges and opportunities for both marine and freshwater systems. An impressive range of 57 research infrastructure services will be made available to include research vessels, mobile marine observation platforms, aircraft,  drones, satellite, sensors, fixed freshwater and marine observatories and test sites, experimental facilities, and sophisticated data infrastructures. AQUARIUS will support the development phase of the EU Mission to Restore our Ocean and waters by 2030, the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership, the European Green Deal, and international climate initiatives. It will also be an essential component in achieving the European Digital Twin of the Ocean and the UN Decade for Ocean Sciences. The needs of researchers will be met through a robust and transparent system of transnational access funding Calls, facilitated by centralised user-friendly access portal. The Call programme will be informed through stakeholder engagement and brokerage events. Projects to be selected for Access must convincingly integrate multiple infrastructures and contribute to the core policy objectives of Mission Ocean, that is, to protect and restore marine and freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity; to prevent and eliminate pollution of our oceans, seas and waters; and to ensure a sustainable, carbon-neutral and circular blue economy. A thematic and geographic focus will be the hallmark of the proposed transnational Calls, aligning with the Lighthouse Regions, that is, the Baltic and the North Sea Basins, Black Sea, Atlantic/Arctic, and Mediterranean Sea along with their associated rivers.

Advance Marine Research Infrastructures Together

The European Ocean Observing System (EOOS) is the foundation of European ocean knowledge. The core Marine Research Infrastructures (MRIs) focused on ocean observing (EMSO, EURO-ARGO and ICOS ERICs; EuroFleets+, EuroGoShip, GROOM RI, JERICO RI and MINKE as INFRA projects) are the main providers of in situ ocean data for the EOOS and Copernicus, and the primary managers of instrumental capacity supporting fundamental research.
These MRIs are aware that the lack of effective cross coordination prevents them from fully supporting frontier research, while the lack of integration makes it difficult to reach a critical mass for EOOS and results in significant cost duplication. Accordingly, AMRIT gathers these MRIs together with OceanOPS/WMO international coordination experience with the objective to:
- ensure seamless operation of marine observation platforms ;
- ensure the full nominal use of sensors and accelerate their evolution ;
- exploit the complementarity of the various observation platforms ;
- ensure the overall coherence of the ocean data value chain.
To achieve these objectives, AMRIT will design and implement an EOOS Technical Support Center (EOOS TSC) for
- a fully integrated information service across the data value chain from early planning stages to final delivery to users;
- a cross-platform fully standardised data acquisition methodology for Essential Ocean Variables;
- a collaborative federal structure to operate these services, relying on the ERIs and their members.
The EOOS TSC will be the cornerstone in establishing and maintaining the EOOS, upon which European ocean observing can be strengthened in the coming decades. AMRIT will provide a catalyst for the development and consolidation of MRIs throughout Europe, providing a benchmark for operational coordination and collaboration. AMRIT will advance EOOS in line with its 2023-2027 Strategy and beyond, and the European Commission's ambitions for sharing responsibility in ocean observing across Europe.

Improve offshore infrastructure resilience against geohazards towards a changing climate

POSEIDON brings together an interdisciplinary and intersectoral team to deliver a professionally trained next-generation network of Doctoral Candidates to develop a step change in our capacity to identify, map, assess and predict offshore geohazards and in turn produce ground-breaking methods to prevent, mitigate and boost the resilience of current offshore infrastructure under a changing climate. The consortium is formed by experts across EU countries with universities, research institutions, industry partners and a government body to cover a full training programme on scientific and transferable skills. 

The programme will undertake critical research across scales (from micro to macro) for seeking the inner links and differences, with an eventual aim to ascertain the pathways and grow our capacity for the enhancement of the existing and the robust development of new offshore infrastructure in the frame of safety and resiliency. In addition to the informed design and implementation of the novel physical/numerical modelling and lab studies, our approach is unique in the solid integration and utilisation of state-of-the-art data science technologies (e.g., data mining, machine learning, etc.) to their full potential. Only through this systematic approach, we can achieve the objectives of understanding the impact of offshore geohazards on our offshore critical infrastructures (OCIs) and developing novel models, tools and designs for future OCIs, such as, wind turbines, pipelines and cables. 

The Doctoral Candidates will enjoy a highly integrated, interdisciplinary and intersector training environment, enriched through secondments with the network of non-academics. POSEIDON enables critical learning across all training aspects to ensure that comprehensive, robust and implementable solutions are obtained and validated to face the OCIs climate-resilient building.

POLARIN: POLAR RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK

The polar regions play a key role in the Earth’s system. They are essential for our climate and are sentinels of climate change, human expansion, and the hunt of new resources. The polar regions are losing ice, and their oceans and land are changing rapidly. The consequences of this polar transition extend to the whole planet and are affecting people in multiple ways. Evidence-based policy recommendations are needed, but the polar regions are difficult to reach, and research infrastructures able to operate in these regions are scarce. To understand and predict key processes in the polar regions and provide evidence-based information, the polar research community needs access to world-class research infrastructure operating in these regions.
POLARIN is an international network of polar research infrastructures and their services, aiming at addressing the scientific challenges of the polar regions. The network includes a wide array of complementary and interdisciplinary top level research infrastructures: Arctic and Antarctic research stations, research vessels and icebreakers operating at both poles, observatories, data infrastructures and ice and sediment core repositories. POLARIN will provide integrated, challenge-driven, and combined access to these infrastructures to facilitate interdisciplinary research on complex processes. 
POLARIN will:
1.	Provide challenge-driven transnational access to a large portfolio of research infrastructures. 
2.	Improve the access to data by improving data availability and interoperability between data infrastructures. 
3.	Provide virtual access to data and data services. 
4.	Provide data products for the scientific community and decision makers.
5.	Train the young generation of polar researchers in optimally exploiting the infrastructures for their research.
6.	Duly advertise the services offered by POLARIN and engage the infrastructure users to share their research outcomes with society.


Land-Sea interface: Let’s observe together!

LandSeaLot will link together in situ, model and earth observations (EO) and connect related communities, citizens and initiatives such as Copernicus, ESA, EEA, GEOSS, EMODnet and the European Digital Twin of the Ocean. These observations will be used in a gap analysis to co-design a common land-sea interface observation strategy and an implementation plan. LandSeaLot participants will simultaneously work on improving: in situ and EO capabilities, models to reduce the model/observations gap and the integration of model, in situ and satellite data. Observation capacity will be increased through tested, improved and guided use of low-cost technology by citizens, facilitated by the network of European marinas. The technologies selected will be piloted in Integration Labs (ILs) together with improved and integrated in situ and EO observation techniques and model outputs. LandSeaLot ILs will cover selected areas in the Black, Aegean, Mediterranean, Atlantic, North and Baltic Seas, with a range of catchment, tidal and meteorological regimes. Experts and citizen science leaders will work in the ILs together with JERICO-RI, DANUBIUS-RI and ICOS-ERIC, and with regional policy makers and managers to tailor integrated observations that will provide them with information to manage societal challenges. These will include assessment of the lateral carbon flux and stock, plastics transfer, nutrients impact on primary production and eutrophication, supporting biodiversity conservation, improving modeling capability and supporting climate change adaptation (storm surge, floods, heat waves, coastal erosion, saltwater intrusion). Data generated in the ILs will be made FAIR available via EMODnet and interoperability, and semantic solutions for existing, international data flows will be developed. Relevant communities will be engaged by workshops, conferences, training, a high-tech summit and by a communication strategy including videos and policy briefs to ensure LandSeaLot’s legacy.

Optimisation of digital catch monitoring and reporting in European Fisheries

 OptiFish will strive to provide technological solutions that will simultaneously improve the sustainability of fisher’s operations, enhance control processes and strengthen society’s trust in their products.
OptiFish will develop, test and recommend a set of innovative technologies and tools supported by artificial intelligence (AI) to provide the management, the fishing sector and the scientist with data on catch volumes, catch compositions and the fishing environment. 
The goal is to unlock the full potential of technologies such as electronic and genetic monitoring for automated species recognition based on AI and computer vision to reduce discards, unreported landings and unreported fishing activities, ultimately establishing  a fisheries control and enforcement system fit for the digital age. The technologies are not enough alone, it is also critical to consider the combination of technologies and the integration of computer vision models, the wide range of data sources and their subsequent formats, while also addressing stakeholders needs and acceptance. 
This goal cannot be achieved by a single project, which is why the aim of OptiFish is to lay a solid foundation for full technological development from which other projects and initiatives can be built. The project will place a strong focus on species recognition in different fisheries equipped with distinctly different catch handling facilities and in different European sea basins. 
To ensure that these innovations are relevant to fisheries management, OptiFish has participation from the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries, and has received written support from the European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA), the Basque, Danish and Belgian Fisheries authorities.

Professor

Ideen for forskningsprosjektet Ledelse og læring for utvikling av læreres profesjonelle digitale kompetanse (LeadDig), er å utvikle skoler som lærer ved å fokusere på profesjonell digital kompetanse for å styrke elevenes læringsmiljø og læring i seks skoler. Hulsbos et al. (2016) oversiktsstudie fokuserte på skolelederes læring og fant at skolelederes læring i skolen i stor grad har vært uutforsket (s. 22). Vår intensjon er å fokusere på skoleledernes læring – både rektorer og mellomledere – og på deres evne til å styrke lærernes profesjonelle digitale kompetanse (PDC) ved bruk av Ipad-er i undervisningen, som i sin tur forventes å bidra til elevenes læring.
Vår idé er basert på premisset om at hele skolen vil jobbe mot et felles mål (objekt) ved hjelp av utviklingsforskning (Developmental work research - DWR), som er en «formativ intervensjon» (Engeström & Sannino, 2010) metodologi utviklet innenfor kultur-historisk aktivitetsteori (KHAT). Forskning har funnet at et kollektivt objekt som alle på en skole er klar over og forstår viktigheten av i forhold til utvikling av egen undervisningspraksis, er årsaken til at skolebasert utvikling kan lykkes (Postholm, 2018; Timperley et al., 2007). Det vi foreslår er at skoleledere, i tillegg til eksterne forskningspersoner som forskere/lærerutdannere kan være ressurspersoner for hverandre i skolebasert utvikling. Følgelig kan klynger av skoler i et nettverk utvikle sin praksis sammen.
Vår forskning vil favne prosesser fra lederes læring til elevenes læring i klasserommet, og styres av følgende hovedspørsmål: Hvordan kan samarbeid mellom forskere/lærerutdannere, lærerstudenter og skoler, som fokuserer på lederes læring for å fremme utvikling av lærernes faglige digitale kompetanse, bidra til utvikling i både lærerutdanning og skole?

The main objective is to develop research groups in teacher education including student teachers (STs) when promoting school leaders 'competence in leading school-based competence development in order to develop teachers' professional digital competence.  In order for leaders' learning to be linked to the school's objectives, the first step in the work is to develop an ownership of the theme, professional digital competence. What needs do the individuals and the community in the school experience in connection with the theme, which in this project is determined by the municipality/four. In the project, emphasis will be placed on the start-up phase so that the participants experienced needs can become the foundation and power force for further development in the schools, and the phase where development goals and development issues are formulated, which in turn will form a framework for leaders' learning. Within this framework, leaders' learning will be based on observed teaching conducted by a teacher and observed by leaders and researchers/teacher educators (R/TE) and ST. In a subsequent reflection, leaders together with teachers will give feedback to the teacher who has taught, R/TEs and STs observes this learning dialogue. Following this learning dialogue, R/TE will provide feedback to managers on how they have led the learning dialogue (in a learning session)  There will be one such "learning loop" in the start-up semester, and three the second semester where R/TE participates, otherwise the practice of observation and reflection will include all teachers at the school without R/TEs participating. The development work will start in one (1) school in the municipality, and then, according to a plan, be carried out at all six (6) schools that will participate in the project. In planned networking processes, experiences will be shared and learning will take place across schools. Research during the innovation will be used to support the development processes.

Leadership and Learning for the Development of Teachers’ Professional Digital Competence

Our objective in the EU project is to pioneer a more effective and environmentally friendly alternative process for producing high-purity quartz (metallurgy grade quartz) for production of MG-Si.

The project first aim to test and screen some SiO2 sources in order to identify alternatives raw materials for more efficient MG-Si production. The SiO2 sources will be further processed into agglomerates that can be used on the arc furnace for production of MG-Si. The project seeks to use material flows that cannot be used in the production today and thereby increase the yield of the raw material source. The project plan to introduce biocarbon into the agglomerates to further reduce the CO2 footprint of the production process.

The EU project will finally verify the process and product in pilot scale before validating it in large scale (TRL level 7 or higher).

Batterimarkedet for Li-ion vokser raskt og forventes å være i raskt endring i det neste tiåret. Markedet vil gå fra en forbrukerelektronikk dominert til en fase dominert av elektroniske kjøretøy (EV).  En ekstraordinær økende etterspørsel etter batterier betinger imidlertid nye og tilgjengelig råmaterialer til å komme inn i markedet for å levere bedre ytelse.

Blant slike nye materialer er silisium og silisiumbaserte materialer. Silisium har høyest teoretisk lagringskapasitet av potensielle materialer,- og tester med silisumbaserte anoder har demonstrert forbløffende høye lagringskapasiteter. Men det er noen utfordringer knyttet til silisiumbaserte anoder. Dette prosjektet har som mål å bidra til å løse disse utfordringene gjennom bruk av Elkems silisium, og optimalisering av denne gjennom ulike strategier. Kunnskap og erfaring om dette materialet er opparbeidet gjennom tidligere interne og Forskningsrådstøttede prosjekter. 
Optimaliseringen av det aktive materialet - silisium - har fortsatt med påfølgende batteritesting. Resultatene viser at det er mulig å bedre batteriegenskapene gjennom endring av noen de fysiske og kjemiske egenskapene til silisium som Elkem produserer.

SiBANODE is aimed to develop silicon-based materials which will be utilized in the lithium-ion batteries delivering high capacity while keeping long lifetime. 
Li-ion battery is a quickly expanding technology rapidly penetrating various markets and applications. Originating from the portable electronics, Li-ion batteries are currently widely utilized in the alternative applications, such as transportation and stationary energy storage.  However, an extraordinary growing demand for batteries encourage new materials to enter the market to deliver better performance. 
Those emerging materials include silicon and silicon-based compounds. Silicon introduced as promising anode material revealed its potential by demonstrating astonishing storage capacity. Nowadays utilized only as a small fraction in the commercial anodes of Li-ion batteries, silicon represents a major scientific and technological challenge in the field. The wide use of silicon in anodes is strongly limited by the intrinsic properties of silicon. The ability of this material to accept 4.4 atoms of lithium per atom of silicon results in enormous expansion and contraction during lithiation and corresponding delithiation occurring during battery cycling. Such volume change significantly limits the application of this technology and have been a topic of extensive research over the last decade. 
The present project is aimed to solve those problems by utilizing battery-grade silicon produced by Elkem and enhancing its stability by two routes. The first include the preparation of the alloyed silicon-based materials, which due to a slightly different functioning, will deliver long-term stability while keeping the benefits of the parenting silicon. Second alternative strategy will include chemical modification of the existing silicon by tuning the microscopic and surface properties of silicon particles. SiBANODE utilizes long-term experience in manufacturing, characterization and research of Elkem, Sintef and IFE.
