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.

In addition, the consortium is implementing customised project valorisation strategies to maximize the impact of research outcomes in academia, society, and the economy. Citizen science projects allow the public to participate directly within the EXCITE² Network, contributing to solving EU challenges. As such, EXCITE² is paving the way towards a sustainable future, driving scientific excellence, and creating positive societal impact.

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.

Cooperation and AgReements enhancing Global interOperability for Aerosol, Cloud and Trace gas research infrastructures

The goal of CARGO-ACT is to deliver a clear roadmap for sustainable global cooperation between key
ground-based aerosol, cloud and trace gas research infrastructures, each having invested in infrastructure and services to support their observing networks with a long-term perspective, with a view to consolidating into a sustainable global research infrastructure in the future. There is a strong desire for global integration from the research community, including weather, climate, and air quality monitoring and modelling, 
and in particular from space agencies, since global networks of ground-based observations are an essential component complementing Earth Observation from space, providing calibration and validation of the remote sensing information collected by current and future satellite missions. The integration of the current ground-based networks, which may have different interests and priorities, requires cooperation and agreements at the global level, including engagement with relevant stakeholders. Their service provision is not limited to data services, but includes access to the measurement facilities, reference instruments, reference standards and laboratories, all of which are topics to be assessed in CARGO-ACT.  

The specific objectives of CARGO-ACT are to, develop sustainable partnerships and decision making processes with relevant partners, demonstrate the benefits of converging interoperability and standards to stakeholders and the global research community, establish the mechanisms for providing  international access to distributed research infrastructures and develop a roadmap for upscaling towards an integrated global research infrastructure for aerosol, cloud and trace gases.


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.

Material Science Innovation for Accelerated, Sustainable and Safe Implementation of Carbon Capture and Storage

MISSION-CCS presents a timely and unique doctoral network designed to deliver the next generation of highly trained researchers and entrepreneurs in the field of material science, specifically focused towards accelerating implementation of carbon capture and storage CCS technologies worldwide and ensuring the sustainable and safe operation of existing and future CCS systems.

The training network combines unique experimental system design and modelling approaches, state-of-the-art analytical technologies and techno-economic analysis to deliver a new generation of researchers and entrepreneurs. The programme of research training centres of delivering Doctoral Candidate Researchers (DCRs) with world-leading technical expertise in material science and engineering relevant to the entire CCS process. MISSION-CCS ensures that the subject-specific technical knowledge of each DCRs is under-pinned by inter-sectorial knowledge whilst also promoting wider innovation skills and relevant training on the techno-economics of CCS, developing experts with breadth of knowledge.

A central aim of the network is to forge a strong cohort culture, by ensuring that peer-to-peer learning and mutual support become the norm, in order to enhance experience. Research-led training activities are strengthened through a dynamic and interactive education based programme delivered by an internationally renowned consortium of academics and industrialists with complementary skills. As part of the training programme, subsequent to an introduction to CCS systems and the specific material science challenges, DCRs will gain knowledge of system design and optimisation, state-of-the-art analytical methods, theoretical modelling, techno-economics, and understand the challenges of exploiting their research. They will also acquire proficiency in project management, communication, entrepreneurship, and innovation; all essential attributes for any modern technical professional.

As carbon taxes are set to extend in depth and scope it will be critical to follow them from policymaking to implementation. Just Carbon Transitions (JUSTCARBON) spotlights the role of legal expertise in translating carbon taxation ideals into action. Tax systems and national legal jurisdictions present significant challenges for policy makers intent on tackling both environmental concerns and redistributive goals through taxation. There is an urgent need to investigate the role of legal tax professional structure, authority, and expertise to draw out how competition and cooperation among experts shapes the effectiveness of taxes in bringing about just transitions. These experts are crucial to study because the justness of (carbon) tax policies extend beyond ‘the letter of the law’, to the enforcement and control systems that make them effective - systems designed and populated by tax professionals. 

The study draws on an interdisciplinary research agenda shared between scholars of public administration and the sociology of professions and expertise. Through a comparative study of tax professionals and policy processes in three European countries – Denmark, Norway, and France – the study will give new insights into the implementation and operation of these systems, and how they are part of changing national legal orders on tax. Overall, the project will tell us where tax professionals are positioned in national policy advisory systems, what ‘legal expertise’ means in practice to these experts and which norms guide their work. The project is designed to expand this interdisciplinary agenda by bridging sociological and political science communities. During the project I will train with leading scholars in international comparative research on expertise and public administration, from sociological and political science perspectives. My goals are to develop a more complete research profile and my potential to be a future research leader in these fields.

I arbeidet med tekster fra ulike arenaer i det norske samfunnet som omhandler distriktene har det vokst frem interessante koplinger mellom konstruksjonen av en norsk identitet og vårt forhold til det rurale. Det er først på 1970-tallet at politikken for d et rurale også får et tydelig symbolsk innhold. En særnorsk rural identitet vokste frem som en protest mot den hegemoniske arbeiderpartistaten. Den rurale protestbevegelsen, der Ottar Brox var helt sentral, klarte i større grad enn i de fleste andre vestl ige land å bremse opp sentraliseringsprosessen. Det ble skapt en sterk forestilling i det norske om en autonom og avgrenset rural identitet. Det ble videre skapt en forestilling om at det er viktig for det norske samfunn å bevare denne ruraliteten. Denne forestillingen står fortsatt sterkt og er kanskje mest tydelig gjennom det særnorske bosettingsmålet. Det strategiske institutt-programmet har produsert en rekke paper og vil publisere artikler som kretser rundt fremveksten, endringen og effekten av fores tillingen om det rurale i norsk politikk. I løpet av 2005 vil i tillegg Jørn Cruickshank ferdigstille sin doktorgrad.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nytt prosjektsammen drag i henhold til søknad 170804/V10:

Begrepet ruralitet knyttes i praktisk politikk ofte til emner som bosettingsmønster, flytting og sentralisering. I mer klassiske studier av distriktsproblemer er faktorer som næringsstruktur, arbeidsmarked, tjenestet ilbud, utdanningsmuligheter ol. fokusert. Dette er selvsagt viktige faktorer, men vi ser disse som bare noen av momentene som inngår i de diskursene som skaper det rurale Norge. Vår studie viser hvordan eksempelvis de som gjør flytte-/bostedsvalg, de som bor og arbeider ruralt og de som utformer politikken for rurale områder alle sammen kan sies å handle innenfor dominerende diskurser i det norske samfunn. Istedenfor å utgå fra en eller annen rural essens har vi med andre ord en relasjonell tilnærming til  det rurale. Selv om diskursanalyse er et voksende teoretisk og metodisk felt så er dette perspektivet nokså nytt innenfor norsk regionalforskning. Vi studerer, samtidig som vi utvikler og raffinerer en konstruktivistisk forskningstilnærming, hvordan ulik e forestillinger om norsk ruralitet og urbanitet produseres og reproduseres og hvordan dette får betydning for politikkutforming. Vi ser nærmere på hvordan forestillingene om "problemer" og "løsninger" i det rurale Norge og distriktspolitikken skapes av u like aktører gjennom produksjon av ulike myter og forestillinger (diskurser) om forskjellen mellom byen og bygda. Det er brukt mye ressurser i SIP på utvikling av det konstruktivistiske perspektivet, og dette har også etter hvert farget utvalget av empiri  og underproblemstillinger. Gjennom arbeidet forsøker vi samtidig å styrke og utvikle Agderforsknings nasjonale posisjon som et anerkjent samfunnsvitenskapelig forskningsinstitutt på feltet regional utvikling. Innenfor programmet blir det også startet opp  og sluttført en dr.polit.-avhandling på temaet.

Sjeldne kreftformer utgjør 20% av all kreft og kjennetegnes ofte av høy dødelighet, mangel på effektive kreftmedisiner og stort udekket medisinsk behov. Kreft i gallegangene, Cholangiocarcinom,CCA, er en slik sjelden kreftform. Internasjonal standard behandling en kombinasjon av to av tre cellegifter. Behandlingen er staggende, og median overlevelse kun 11,5 mnd. Mange pasienter har lite effekt av kjemoterapi og får ofte bivirkninger som gir redusert livskvalitet - i livets siste dager. En liten gruppe kan opereres, men overall 5 års overlevelse er kun 5-10%. Pasientene har behov for hyppige innleggelser og avlastende kirurgiske inngrep. 
I tre prekliniske Proof of Concept studier på CCA kreftcelle-linjer har vi avdekket overraskende god effekt av legemidler ikke tidligere brukt på diagnosen. Legemiddelkombinasjonene er substanser som er på markedet, er/har vært under utvikling eller brukt i kreftbehandling, og der våre patenter viser ny og overraskende effekt.  Våre patentbeskyttede legemiddel-kombinasjoner kan både knyttes til en bredde-behandling av alle pasienter med gallegangskreft og/eller undergrupper av CCA pasienter. I tillegg knyttes respons av legemidlene til kreftsvulstens genetiske fingeravtrykk, uavhengig av hvilket organ som er kreftrammet (A ).Videreutvikling av de patenterte legemidlene i etablerte dyremodeller er pågående.

Vår voksende og proprietære skybaserte AI drevne biobank kvalitetssikrer drug sensitivitets funnene ved hjelp av deep tech maskinlæring og anerkjente ulike datamodelleringer. Variasjon i legemiddelrespons knyttes til genetisk fingeravtrykk i kreftsvulsten. Respons og manglende respons på ulike legemidler formidles i pasientens egen, skreddersydde rapport.

I Woman TechEU prosjektet vil vi legge strategiplan for nasjonal videreføring av våre PCT legemiddelpatenter, gjøre markedsavklaringer, utarbeide forretningsstrategi samt evaluere og etablere grunnlag for kommersialisering med mulige partnere.

Prosjektet utvikler en innovativ metode for persontilpasset kreftbehandling som ikke finnes i dag. 
Metoden kobler riktig pasient til riktig medisin ved å adressere kompleksiteten i biologiske systemer. 
Pasientens egne, levende kreftceller forhåndbehandles i cancer drug sensitive screening paneler som består av et høyt antall forskjellige kreftmedisiner, under utvikling eller på markedet. Den mest effektive medisinen for den spesifikke pasienten identifiseres. 
Ytterlige undersøkelse av biologiske kjennetegn kan avdekke underforliggende årsaker til kreften. 
Avanserte data-bearbeiding brukes til analyser, evaluering og system-biologisk tilnærming til  funnene.

Prosjektet er i internasjonal forskningsfront. Mens moderne tilnærming til persontilpasset medisin er basert på undersøkelse av pasientens døde kreftvev, er vår innovative tilnærming basert på behandling og undersøkelse av pasientens levende kreftceller.
Vi har utført to proof-of-concept på immortaliserte cellelinjer fra avdøde pasienter med kreft i gallesystemet. Vi skal nå utvikle metoden til bruk på ferske levende kreftceller fra pasienter med kreft igallesystemet.

A game-changing technology for choice of medication in treatment of solid cancers based on screening of patient?s own live cancer cells.

There were 17 million new cases of cancer worldwide in 2018 and the number of new cases is expected to rise by about 70% over the next 20 years.  According to “Europe against Cancer” data, in 2018, 3.9Mn new cases of cancer and over 1.9 million cancer deaths are estimated in Europe. These figures are also expected to rise due to Europe’s ageing population. The economic impact of cancer is significant and is increasing. Health expenditure on cancer increased continuously from €35.7 billion in 1995 to €83.2 billion in 2014 in the EU and spending on cancer drugs increased from €7.6 billion in 2005 to €19.1 billion in 2014.

More than 80% of all cancers were caused by solid tumors that grow as a mass of cells in a particular organ, tissue or gland. Solid tumors make up about 30% of all cancers in children. 20% of solid cancers are rare and several of these have a huge unmet medical need for better treatment. 

Most of the solid tumors are treated through chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and/or surgery. However, at present, surgery is the most appropriate treatment option for cancer solid tumors. Chemotherapy is frequently used along with other types of solid tumor treatment i.e. surgery and radiation. The treatment course is influenced the health policy frameworks, state or insurance company budget and personal finances. Under these conditions, the drug's expected statistical treatment effect determines the choice of treatment. This is done with the understanding that a certain percentage of all patients will not have the effect of the medicine. Moreover, there is a danger of chemically induced shortened lifetime due to the medicine chosen.

When the proposed method of expanding the fresh live tissue samples are successfully developed the system is ready for integration of -omics and CDSS in order to predict the optimal individual tailored cancer treatment.

A game-changing technology for choice of medication in treatment of solid cancers based on screening of patient’s own live cancer cells.

Last year 17 Mn people was diagnosed with cancer. The number is steadily increasing and the forecast next year is 20 million new cancer incidence. There are more than 100 different cancers. More than 80% of all cancers are caused by solid tumors that grow as a mass of cells in a particular organ, tissue or gland. Over half of all cancers are made up of just four cancers: bowel, breast, lung, and prostate cancers. The rest are less common and rare cancer. Several of these rare cancers have a huge unmet medical need for better treatment. 

Seald is a biotech company developing an innovative personalised approach for treating solid cancers. Our working model Bile Duct Cancer is amongst the most aggressive and deadliest form of all cancers. On standard cell poision treatment the mean overall survival is only 11,5 months and  the five-years survival less than 5%. 
Bile Duct Cancer afflicts three per cent of people with cancer in the digestive system. Even though categorised as rare it is a major gastrointestinal cancer due to its global prevalence. The incidence is increasing worldwide of unknown reasons. In addition, the worlds fifth common cancer, CUP (cancer of unknown primary/origin), is estimated to comprise more than 20% patients with bile duct cancer.

Today cancer treatment is based on the cancer diagnose and the regulatory approved cancer drug. Cancer drug approval is based on a statistical beneficial effect on the diagnostic group. This implies that many of the patients do not have beneficial effect but only experience the side effects of the treatment. This approach causes reduced quality of life for the non-responding patients and leads to unnecessary use of societies health expenditures. 

Utilising a whole new approach, Seald aspires to find the right treatment for the individual patient based on a methodology combining molecular biomarkers, DNA sequencing, ex-vivo drug sensitivity analysis and xenograft models.
