Renewable energy on the high seas – science-informed and indigenous knowledge-based recommendations for regulatory and governance challenges

The high seas are those marine areas under no State's jurisdiction. So far, all marine renewable energy (RE) activity is being conducted under State's jurisdiction. However, recent advances in technology are raising the prospect of carrying out RE activity on the high seas. Currently, only seabed mining activities in the Area have been regulated. The Area is the seabed and ocean floor beyond the limits of State's jurisdiction. From the legal viewpoint, the main gap is a lack of an international regulatory framework, informed by participatory mechanisms and supported by scientific evidence, for RE activities on the high seas, especially regarding their environmental and social impacts. 
The primary project objective (O) is to provide the scientific community and policymakers with science-informed and indigenous knowledge-based recommendations in support of the development of  RE regulation on the high seas. 
Two specific Os are set to complement the primary O, namely:
O1 To advance the use of systematic consultation processes that facilitates research at the crossroads of marine sciences and law. 
O2 To advance critical knowledge and understanding of environmental pressing issues comparable to the regulation of RE on the high seas, such as deep-sea mining in the Area.
A multistep innovative methodology will be adopted, by integrating marine scientific knowledge, consultative processes, and advanced critical research in the subject matter. A case study (interdisciplinary and participatory) involving marine scientists, indigenous and coastal communities and policy makers will be conducted onboard the Research Vessel KronPrins Haakon at the beginning of the project. The case study outcomes will be analysed through critical legal analysis to build a knowledge base for policy recommendations. 
The project will advance the PI’s career in an international research environment, allowing her to generate independent, high-quality, and reproducible results.




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.

Evaluation of thermohydraulic characteristic of printed circuit heat exchangers in pseudocritical region for supercritical CO2 cycle

Currently, 28.2% of the total EU-28 greenhouse gas emissions come from the power sector, a large contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, the emphasis of the research in power generation has swung towards assessing highly efficient and greener power cycles. In this reference, the novel supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle (sCO2-BC) is an ideal choice that outstrips other formally well-known power cycles (Brayton & Rankine cycles). In sCO2-BC, the role of the pre-cooler is critical. It serves as a sink to the power cycle and regulates the conditions at the compressor's inlet. The compressor's inlet temperature is intended to be maintained close to the critical temperature of carbon dioxide (CO2) to achieve greater cycle efficiencies. However, exceptionally higher values of the specific heat capacity of CO2 near its critical point (up to 40 times higher than water) require exceedingly high water flow rates on the cold side to achieve the desired exit temperatures of CO2. Consequently, the pre-cooler's pumping power requirements become high enough to deteriorate the cycle's performance. This problem can only be mitigated by exploring new channel geometries with enhanced thermohydraulic characteristics. Therefore, the proposed study plan to characterize the complex thermohydraulic characteristics in the pseudocritical region of CO2 using a multifaceted technique that includes, experimental, numerical, and machine learning techniques. The proposed work will provide a step forward to the success of sCO2-BC technologies that, in turn, will facilitate its integration with the green energy resources (generation-IV nuclear reactors and solar concentrated plants), helping to meet the EU's 2030 climate and energy framework goals of achieving at least 32% share for renewable energy.

Bilberry Ecology and the Regeneration of forest Ecosystem Functioning

Human impacts such as clearcut harvesting have left forests bereft of the organisms that underpin their functioning. The decline of key plant species has reduced the capacity of forests to store carbon (C) and provide ecosystem services to the people of Europe. The regeneration of forest ecosystem functioning requires a deeper understanding of how the traits of its species can be linked to ecosystem processes. The BEREFT project aims to elucidate how the plant traits of bilberry, Vaccinium myrtillus, modulate the dynamics of C and nitrogen (N) within the boreal forest. The project combines advances in chemical ecology with an innovative experimental design situated in Norway pairing experimental plots in formerly clearcut forest plantations with those from near-natural forests. I will collect a comprehensive set of bilberry's chemical traits and test both in-situ and in-vitro experiments to determine the underlying mechanism linking bilberry traits to C and N dynamics. The project goes beyond the state-of-the-art in applying novel methods from chemical ecology to measure bilberry's traits and uses a creative design to link those traits to ecosystem functioning. Through the scope of traits measured and the innovation in experimental design pairing clearcut forests with near-natural forests, this project will significantly advance our knowledge of the ecology of Europe's forest ecosystems. I will receive training in chemical ecology to advance my career as an expert in data generation and exchange with the host my knowledge on long-term ecological experimentation and ecosystem functioning. The project will disseminate deliverables in trait data packages, an open-source chemical ecology pipeline, and a robust measure of the effect size of bilberry's impact on C and N in the boreal forest. Knowledge of bilberry's role in the forest C cycle can be exploited by forestry managers in efforts to maximize C storage to meet the EU's goal of carbon neutrality.

EOSC Beyond: advancing innovation and collaboration for research

EOSC Beyond overall objective is to advance Open Science and innovation in research in the context of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) by providing new EOSC Core capabilities allowing scientific applications to find, compose and access multiple Open Science resources and offer them as integrated capabilities to researchers. To do so, EOSC Beyond supports a new concept of EOSC: a federated and integrated network of Nodes operated at different levels, national, regional, international and thematic, to serve the specific scientific missions of their stakeholders. Further specific objectives of the project are to accelerate ‘time to product’ of new scientific applications with software adapters, enable Open Science with machine composability and dynamic deployment of shared resources, support innovation in EOSC with a testing and integration environment, and align the EOSC Core architecture and specifications to integrate with European dataspaces. The project extends the state of the art of the EOSC Core and adopts a co-design methodology, including requirements elicitation, software development and validation in collaboration with different use cases from EOSC national and regional initiatives (e-Infra CZ, Czechia, NFDI, Germany, and NI4OS, South East Europe region), thematic research infrastructures from Social Sciences and Humanities (CESSDA), Life Sciences (CNB-CSIC and Instruct-ERIC), Environmental Science (ENES and LifeWatch), and Health and Food (METROFood-RI). EOSC Beyond builds on the capacities of prospective EOSC Nodes and partners with multi-annual experience in developing solutions for large-scale federated digital infrastructures and aligns with the technical architecture and requirements of data spaces from different business sectors. Ultimately, EOSC Beyond supports Open Science in modern, data-intensive, and multidisciplinary research, facilitating resource discovery, access, and reuse across scientific communities, organisations, and countries.


CULTUral heritage in RurAL remote areas for creative tourism and sustainabilITY

The main objective of the project is to contribute to the promotion of cultural and creative tourism activities, considering the different capacities, resources, and specificities (material, creative, human...) of the territories, as a mean to help with the sustainable development of peripheral rural areas, favoring job creation and population settlement. For this, the potential of its cultural heritage will be researched, taking into account both the artisan material culture (techniques, materials, patterns and decorative elements), as well as the intangible culture (music, oral knowledge and culinary traditions) as a resource.
 
To promote non-seasonal tourism as a form of sustainable development with a stable population settlement we are going to research the crafts linked to the territory and their implications, but we will also carry out a documentation of the productive processes. First and foremost, we are going to cater to the necessities of the local communities and pay attention to aspects related to societal groups at risk of exclusion, such as women, the elderly and the youth.

All this will be developed from a multidisciplinary perspective, for which we will count on the various teams —most of them linked to different countries— that will be part of the consortium. Each of these partners will contribute to the development, as well as to the final result of the project through input directly related to their area of ??expertise: for example, among the collaborators we have intellectual teams specialized in the digitalization of heritage, research, or communication and dissemination, as well as as various institutions that will act as a testing ground for the more practical parts of the proposal. However, if something will characterize our work, it will be the constant collaboration between all parties, as well as the exchange of advice and experiences that will help to enrich collective knowledge and guarantee optimal results.

Integrated Research Infrastructure Services for Climate Change risks

Adaptation to climate change requires in-depth understanding of climate change driven risks, including their determinants (hazards, exposure and vulnerabilities) and impacts to human, production and natural systems. Integrated Research Infrastructure Services for Climate Change Risks (IRISCC) is a consortium of diverse and complementary leading research infrastructures (RIs) covering disciplines from natural sciences to social sciences, across different domains and sectors. IRISCC provides scientific and knowledge services to foster cutting-edge research and evidence-based policymaking to improve Europe's resilience to climate change. IRISCC ensures a “one-stop-shop” for various user communities on climate change risk related RI services by setting up a dedicated Catalogue of services and related access management system both for granting transnational (onsite and remote) and offering virtual access. The Catalogue of services will be built through three consecutive releases, each delivering increasingly integrated services to its user communities. The IRISCC service integration will include Service Design Labs employing co-design and transdisciplinary action, and Service Demonstrators benchmarking the integrated cross-RI services. In addition to services aimed towards the scientific community, IRISCC will offer knowledge services aimed towards policymakers and other stakeholders. This is done together with risk management platforms. The research enabled by IRISCC contributes to future reports on climate change effects (IPCC, IPBES) as well as policy- and decision-making to meet the targets of climate adaptation strategies. IRISCC contributes to training a new generation of scientists to efficiently use RI services and for data stewardship. Data from IRISCC will be open and made available in compliance with FAIR principles and linked to European initiatives such as EOSC. Strong links will be created between IRISCC and current and future efforts under Horizon Europe.

Cultivation of the oceans is a key requirement for future sustainable and efficient utilisation of the ocean resources required to meet demands for food, feed, materials, and energy for a growing global population. Norway, with one of the world's longest coastlines, and great expectations being linked to the emergence of seaweed cultivation as a new bioeconomy, can take a leading role. The Norwegian Test Center for Seaweed Cultivation and Utilization Technologies – RI SEAWEED will address this by creating a world-leading research infrastructure for seaweed science and technology. 
RI SEAWEED will contribute to advance seaweed research by providing a holistic value-chain approach offering a unique, integrated, full-scale technology platform and interdisciplinary knowledge hubs at SINTEF and NTNU in close collaboration with industry. 
The infrastructure will consist of land farms and coastal and offshore sea farms for seaweed cultivation and an integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) site for salmon and seaweed. 
The sea farms and surrounding sea areas will be visualized with ocean models coupled to a sensor network for surveillance of environmental variables, uptake of nutrients and CO2 and growth of seaweed at the farms. 
A laboratory for robotics and automation of land and sea farms and a mobile container with equipment for pre-processing, stabilization and storage of harvested seaweed will be built, and equipment for processing and advanced analytical tools for product development and quality testing will be installed.
RI SEAWEED will be in line with national and European strategies for marine research and the ambitions of the High-level panel for ocean economy, which identifies seaweed cultivation as an opportunity for a new blue bioeconomy and movement towards a low-emissions society. Accordingly, RI SEAWEED will contribute to meet several of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the targets set by the Paris Agreement.

Great expectations are being linked to the emergence of seaweed cultivation as a new bioeconomy in Norway. RI SEAWEED will address this by creating a world-leading research infrastructure for seaweed science and technology. The infrastructure will be an instrumental contribution to a green shift and future value creation through its support to long-term research. Cultivation of the oceans is a key requirement for future sustainable and efficient utilisation of the ocean resources required to meet demands for food, feed, materials, and energy for a growing global population. Norway, with one of the world's longest coastlines, can take a leading role. Recent work in the RCN-funded Knowledge Platform MACROSEA led by SINTEF suggests that Norway has a massive potential to cultivate a wide variety of seaweeds and develop new bioeconomy. The ongoing RCN-funded Knowledge Platform Norwegian Seaweed Biorefinery Platform headed by NTNU will advance research on processing and product development to unlock this potential. RI SEAWEED will contribute to advance basic and applied seaweed research by providing a holistic value-chain approach offering equipment and interdisciplinary knowledge hubs with top engineers and scientific personnel at SINTEF and NTNU. The infrastructure has drawn great interest from more than 30 potential national and international users of its novel technology to streamline seaweed cultivation and utilization and demonstrate profitable solutions with carbon offset routes. RI SEAWEED will be in line with national and European strategies for marine research and the ambitions of the High-level panel for a sustainable ocean economy, which identifies seaweed cultivation as an opportunity for a new blue bioeconomy that supports sustainable growth and movement towards a low-emissions society. Accordingly, RI SEAWEED will contribute to meet several of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the targets set by the Paris Agreement.

Bakgrunn: Trygghets- og mestringsteknologi er et viktig tiltak i møte med et økende omsorgsbehov i helse- og omsorgstjenestene. Flere norske kommuner er i gang med å implementere ulike type teknologier som en ordinær del av tjenestetilbudet, hvor målet er at eldre skal ha mulighet til å bo i eget hjem, fremfor institusjon. Tidligere studier påpeker at innføring av teknologi til eldre hjemmeboende kan være utfordrende. I tillegg er det få studier som viser hvordan teknologibaserte tjenester fungerer i drift som en del av hjemmetjenester. Det er behov for økt kunnskap om hvordan eldre hjemmeboende, pårørende og ansatte erfarer bruk av teknologi, samt hva de opplever som viktig for vedvarende bruk. 

Formål: Den overordnede hensikten med avhandlingen var å utforske erfaringer fra eldre hjemmeboende, pårørende og ansatte ved bruk av trygghets- og mestringsteknologi som en del av kommunale hjemmetjenester. 

Metode: Tre studier ble gjennomført med bruk av ulike kvalitative forskningsmetoder. I artikkel I ble det gjennomført en kvalitativ systematisk litteraturstudie, som undersøkte eldres erfaringer ved bruk av trygghets- og mestringsteknologi. I artikkel II ble det benyttet en kvalitativ hermeneutisk metode. Metoden inkluderte oppfølgingsintervjuer av 18 eldre hjemmeboende for å få en dypere forståelse av bruk av teknologi over tid, i tillegg til intervjuer av 7 pårørende. I artikkel III ble det gjennomført fire fokusgruppeintervjuer med 26 ansatte som var involvert i implementering og drift av teknologi i 8 ulike kommuner. Fokusgruppeintervjuene ble gjennomført for å utforske muligheter og utfordringer med bruk av teknologibaserte tjenester. 

Funn: Bruk av teknologibaserte tjenester gav mulighet for økt trygghet, sikkerhet og selvstendighet for eldre hjemmeboende, mens noen opplevde økt ensomhet og isolasjon. Pårørende opplevde at teknologiene kunne lette bekymringen og omsorgsbyrden for en stund, men flere erfarte at de selv måtte initiere samt følge opp bruken av teknologien. Ansatte opplevde at teknologien gav nye muligheter, men implementering i drift ble beskrevet som utfordrende og avhengig av en kollektiv samarbeidsprosess. De viktigste faktorene som påvirket den kollektive samarbeidsprosessen var forankring og samarbeid, rutiner og oppfølging, samt kompetanse og ferdigheter. 

Konklusjon: Trygghets- og mestringsteknologi gir et økt mulighetsrom for at eldre kan bo i eget hjem. Studien understøtter også kompleksiteten ved å innføre teknologi til eldre hjemmeboende med ulike funksjonsnedsettelser. Pårørende var i flere tilfeller en pådriver, men funn tyder på manglende oppfølging fra hjemmetjenesten. Avhandlingen viser tydelig at erfaringer og behov blant eldre og pårørende er unike og individuelle. Implementering og drift av teknologitjenester viser seg å være avhengig av en kollektiv samarbeidsprosess for å lykkes. En personsentrert tilnærming er helt nødvendig for å forstå individuelle behov, og kunne tilpasse teknologi på bakgrunn av disse behovene.

På grunn av store demografiske utfordringer vil det i framtiden være  behov for nye måter å organisere tjenestene på i helse og omsorgssektoren.Fremskrivninger for Lister og Lindesnes regionen viser blant annet at det vil bli flere eldre som har behov for pleie og omsorgstjenester, kombinert med mindre tilgang på arbeidskraft. Dette gjelder spesielt fra 2020. Dette gjør at kommunene må finne nye gode måter å organisere tjenestene på i møte med disse utfordringene. 
Velferdsteknologi hevdes å ha et ubenyttet potensial for å heve kvaliteten og effektiviteten i kommunale helse og omsorgstjenester. Det er mange kommuner som er i gang med ulike prosjekter, men det er fortsatt en vei å gå før velferdsteknologi er en integrert del av tjenestetilbudet.Et av hovedargumentene ved innføring av velferdsteknologi er at slik teknologi kan bidra til økt trygghet og uavhengighet. Samtidig viser det seg at velferdsteknologi har en del utilsiktede konsekvenser. Derfor er det nødvendig å etablere et langt bedre kunnskapsgrunnlag for å vurdere effekter av velferdsteknologi for brukere og pårørende. Det er behov for bredere studier som viser effekter over tid. Det er også viktig å ha kunnskap om hvordan implementering av velferdsteknologi påvirker pårørendes rolle. Pårørende er viktige samarbeidspartnere og støttespillere for kommunen. Implementering av velferdsteknologi kan avlaste pårørende, men vil også gi nye former for samarbeid, ansvar og oppgaver. Ved å studere brukere, pårørendes og helsepersonells erfaringer med bruk av velferdsteknologi skal prosjektet bidra til økt kunnskap om hvordan kommunene kan bruke velferdsteknologi på en måte som bidrar til økt trygghet og mestring hos brukere og pårørende og en effektiv utnyttelse av tilgjengelige ressurser i kommunene.
