Tørkeperioder kan gjøre bakken hardere og frastøte seg vann, dette fører til økt fare for flom og jorderosjon hvis det skulle komme styrtregn. Sammenfallende hendelser hvor en tørkeperiode ender i styrtregn kan derfor forårsake større skader på infrastruktur og avlinger enn enkelthendelser med kun tørke eller styrtregn. Global oppvarming har forårsaket at både tørkeperioder og styrtregn intensiveres og skjer oftere, som også kan føre til at sammenfallende hendelser med tørke etterfulgt av styrtregn også kan intensiveres og skje oftere. 
Selv om det er funnet en økning i tørkeperioder og ekstremnedbør med global oppvarming også i klimamodellene, er det også en stor spredning mellom modellene på hvor mye og i hvilke områder som opplever mer tørke og nedbør. Prosjektet vil undersøke faktiske historiske hendelser hvor tørkeperioder endte i styrtregn i værobservasjoner og værmodelldata for å finne passende indekser som kan brukes til å analysere hvordan de forekommer i klimamodellene. Modeller på finere skala gjør en bedre jobb med å modellere nedbør, prosjektet vil derfor bruke finskala høytoppløselige klimamodeller og globale klimamodeller for å se hvordan tørkeperioder avsluttet med styrtregn forekommer i disse. De modellene som gjør det godt opp mot observasjoner vil bli identifisert.  Videre vil prosjektet studere endringene i hyppighet og intensitet av sammenfallende hendelser med tørke og styrtregn med global oppvarming.
En av grunnene man vet til hvorfor det er stor usikkerhet knyttet til hvordan klimamodellene gjenskaper nedbørsmønstre er hvordan fordamping varierer over skog- og andre arealer. I prosjektet vil vi se på effekten av avskoging og økt skogbruk i globale modeller, og gjøre egne beregninger over mindre areal på finskala for å for å se hvordan fordamping blir påvirket. Resultatene av prosjektet er viktig får å unngå eller minimere skadene slike sammenfallende med tørke etterfulgt av styrtregn kan forårsake.

Global warming intensifies drought and extreme precipitation. Compound events with droughts ending in intensified precipitation - DRIP can cause large damages but are extremely understudied. This project aims to estimate the change in frequency and intensity of DRIP events with global warming due to changes in the water-cycle. We will identify actual historical compound DRIP events and find indices that are suitable to identify these events in model data. As global climate models show a large spread in precipitation for both historical and the different future climate projections, there is expected to be a spread in model projections of DRIP events as well. We will constrain this spread by identifying global climate models that do a good statistical representation of historical DRIP events and by analyzing large ensembles to evaluate the natural variability. As higher resolution modelling shows a better representation of the water cycle, the project will analyze regional downscaled global models in identified regions of interest.  We will also perform in-house regional simulations of identified global models down to convection permitting scale to study the change in DRIP events with model resolution. The project will also target a highlighted uncertainty connected to the water-cycle by exploring how evapotranspiration and the occurrence of DRIP events found in climate models respond to land use change. For this analysis we will extend the regional downscaling to include sensitivity studies which contain deforestation and forestation. Results gained from DRIP will make a large contribution to the knowledge needed on future mitigation measures due to the increase in compound events.

DRIP - DRought ending in Intensified Precipitation

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.




Prosjektet går ut på å invitere forskere fra norske eller utenlandske universiteter til å presentere sin forskning om økonomi og klima ved Handelshøyskolen ved Universitetet i Stavanger (HHUiS).

Dette skjer i form av et seminar som vanligvis finner sted en gang i uken. En kjent forsker fra et annet universitet kommer til Stavanger og holder et 60-minutters seminar og har en rekke møter med forskere i Stavanger. Vi prøver å ha minst 6-8 møter per gjest. I tillegg spiser gjesten lunsj og middag med UiS-ansatte.

Disse seminarene er en del av en eksisterende seminarserie som også tar for seg andre klimaspørsmål. En stor del av seminarene er imidlertid fokusert på klimaendringer og økonomi, og det er kun til disse seminarene vi søker midler.

En aktiv seminarrekke er hjertet i et forskningsuniversitet, og svært viktig for at forskerne ved universitetet skal kunne utvikle seg og være en aktiv del av det globale forskningsmiljøet. Dessverre må vi av budsjettmessige årsaker kutte ned på denne aktiviteten i år og fremover, og derfor sender vi denne søknaden for å be om midler til denne aktiviteten.

UiS har et meget energisk forskerteam innen økonomi og klima. For eksempel ble Dora Simons forskning nylig nevnt i The Economist, Anders Åkermans forskning ble denne uken nevnt av Det hvite hus i den amerikanske presidentens årlige økonomiske rapport, og Torfinn Harding skriver jevnlig artikler i Dagens Næringsliv og opptrer på norsk TV. For at denne gruppen skal overleve, er det svært viktig å kunne arrangere seminarer om klimaendringer på høyeste internasjonale nivå.

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.

Improving tropical forest conservation in Africa

The importance of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) for better balancing tropical forest conservation and poverty alleviation goals is increasingly recognised. Yet, in Africa, poor understanding of the impact of harvesting on species’ populations and forest carbon stocks, together with little information on the traditional institutions which have informally regulated NTFPs extraction in the past -and could continue to do so in the future-, hamper the use of NTFPs in both forest conservation and development initiatives. 
AFRI-FOR will gather the knowledge needed to determine (1) the key enablers of sustainable harvesting for groups of plant or wild meat species, (2) which types of NTFP harvesting can have synergies with carbon storage, and (3) how traditional institutions can be integrated into formal conservation. To achieve these objectives, AFRI-FOR provide new methods, including (i) a new interdisciplinary approach for investigating NTFPs harvesting impacts, combining traditional ecological knowledge (TEK, from local communities), surveys of plants and wildlife, market surveys and modelling techniques; and (ii) a novel standardised protocol for gathering information about traditional institutions and compliance towards them. AFRI-FOR will gather data and knowledge from 20 socio-ecological forest contexts in five countries (Sierra Leone, Cameroon, DR Congo, Uganda and Kenya), which will allow insights to transcend single sites and provide a much-needed general understanding. This high-risk and high-gain project will provide a step-change in our ability to inform forest conservation in Africa, by identifying synergies between biodiversity conservation, carbon storage and poverty alleviation goals.


RETRACE-prosjektet, som strekker seg over tre år, tar for seg den økende trusselen fra naturkatastrofer, som har rammet over 2,3 milliarder mennesker siden 2000-tallet. RETRACE fokuserer på lokalsamfunn i Arktis og Stillehavsområdet, som marquisene i Fransk Polynesia, samene og kvenene i Norge og ahtnaene i Alaska, og har som mål å styrke motstandskraften mot klimarisiko. Disse lokalsamfunnene, som er dypt sammenvevd med omgivelsene sine, gir uvurderlig innsikt i hvordan man overlever og trives i en krevende miljøsituasjon.

RETRACE tar utgangspunkt i hypotesen om at urfolks- og lokalkunnskapssystemer, særlig fra lokalsamfunn i polar- og stillehavsområdene, er uunnværlige for å utvikle effektive strategier for motstandskraft. Prosjektets metode innebærer å samle inn et rikt datasett som omfatter vitnesbyrd, kulturelle praksiser og levde erfaringer, i tillegg til kvantitative analyser. Målet er å skape et omfattende rammeverk som tar hensyn til lokale kontekster og fremmer tilpasningsdyktige og inkluderende resilienspraksiser.

Et internasjonalt forskerteam fra Frankrike, Norge og USA samler en rekke ulike ferdigheter for å bygge bro mellom vitenskapelig forskning og virkeligheten i lokalsamfunnene. Målet er å utvikle et romlig beslutningsstøttesystem som både bidrar til å visualisere resiliensdata og fungerer som et verktøy for samfunnsbasert beslutningstaking, noe som forbedrer evnen til å håndtere risiko og utnytte tradisjonell kunnskap på en effektiv måte.

Ved å kombinere lokal innsikt med vitenskapelig innovasjon skal RETRACE bane vei for resiliensstrategier som både er bærekraftige og tar hensyn til de unike behovene til sårbare lokalsamfunn. Dette prosjektet setter ikke bare søkelyset på urfolks- og lokalkunnskapens avgjørende rolle når det gjelder å håndtere klimaendringene, men har også som mål å sette lokalsamfunn over hele verden i stand til å håndtere de utfordringene som et klima i endring fører med seg.

The three-year RETRACE project responds to the increasing impact of natural disasters on over 2.3 billion people since the beginning of the millennium. It has a particular focus on Arctic and Pacific communities vulnerable to climate risks, specifically, the Marquesan community in French Polynesia, the Sámi and Kven communities in Norway, and the Ahtna people in Alaska. The project aims to address the resilience(s) of communities, in order to develop more inclusive and equitable approaches to developing and implementing resilience strategies.

Five hypotheses guide the research, based on the assumption that indigenous communities such as the ones living in Polar zones and Pacific islands, developed resilience knowledge and strategies to cope with climate-related events. The project aims to co-develop a spatial decision-support system for producing and visualizing qualitative and quantitative data on the different forms of local, community, intrinsic and traditional resiliences in those communities.

Utilizing a narrative approach, the consortium collects testimonials, cultures, memories, experiences, sensitivities and expertise from both Arctic and Pacific communities on forms of resilience and their visions of climate risks, alongside quantitative open-source data from traditional assessments. This data will be cross-referenced to build an interdisciplinary framework for a nuanced understanding of local needs, suitable to assess resilience in local contexts. 

Comprising researchers from France, Norway and the USA with diverse expertise, the consortium aims to contribute in developing risk management and resilience strategies by integrating local and indigenous knowledge into an adaptable and sustainable spatial decision-making tool. The tool aims to bridge the gap between international scientific research and local community realities, potentially informing strategies in other vulnerable territories in the future.

ResilienceS to climate risks: lessons from Arctic and Pacific communities

AGREE tar for seg klimaendringers innvirkning på kulturarv gjennom tverrfaglige metoder og samarbeid mellom ulike samfunnsaktører. Prosjektet tar særlig for seg urbane områder som påvirkes av flom. Målet er å forstå det komplekse forholdet mellom forvaltning av kulturarv, klimatilpasning og samfunnets sårbarhet, og å se på tiltak for å minimere risiko for tap og ødeleggelse som følge av klimaendringer. Sentrale delmål inkluderer integrering av strategier for bevaring av kulturarv med strategier for klimatilpasning, spesielt gjennom konseptet Historisk Urban Landskap (HUL). 

AGREE vil utvikle en beslutningsmodell forankret i HUL-konseptet som sammenligner dagens forvaltningspraksis med historiske data for å belyse sårbarhet og klimatilpasning i en urban kontekst. AGREE vil fremme transformative strategier for klimatilpasning ved å evaluere beslutningstakernes forståelse av disse samspillene. 

Prosjektet ledes av University of Leeds (Storbritannia), og har Norsk institutt for kulturminneforskning (NIKU), Politecnico di Torino (Italia) med som partnere. ICCROM (International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property), British Council (Storbritannia), UK’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport (Storbritannia), Hull City Council (Storbritannia) og Innlandet fylke (Norge) deltar som samarbeidspartnere. Gjennom dette samarbeidet skal prosjektet bidra til å forme politikk og klimastrategier, både lokalt og globalt.  AGREE vil også engasjere publikum for å øke bevisstheten om klimatilpasning og mobilisere til felles handling.  Gjennom bred involvering skal AGREE bidra til å sikre at kulturarven forblir beskyttet og motstandsdyktig i møte med klimaendringer.

Alt i alt vil AGREE utforske klimaendringers påvirkning på kulturarv med en praksisorientert tilnærming, og med fokus på samarbeid, databasert beslutningstaking og samfunnsengasjement for å sikre vår felles kulturarv for fremtidige generasjoner.

AGREE champions transformative sustainability in response, emphasizing interdisciplinary methodologies and societal shifts. It explores the intricate link between cultural heritage governance, climate adaptation, and community resilience, rooted in responses to flooding in urban contexts. AGREE promotes the Historic Urban Landscape concept for integrative decision-making in climate adaptation, considering community resilience amidst environmental changes. An interactive Geographic Information System platform will illuminate this interplay over time. An innovative AGREE's contribution is a decision-making model grounded in the HUL paradigm. This model juxtaposes current national and local policies enabling cultural heritage integration in climate adaptation with historical data sources revealing urban resilience lessons and changes in the built environment over time. AGREE employs transformative governance concepts to evaluate decision-makers comprehension of these synergies and their perspectives. It advances transformative climate adaptation by uncovering potentials and barriers within heritage governance in case studies from the UK, Norway, and Italy. Beyond research, AGREE will shape policies with multi-scalar and cross-sectorial governance, interpreting climate intricacies through cultural heritage. It will strengthen global, national, and local heritage-focused climate strategies through partnerships with the British Council, ICCROM, and the UK's Department for Culture, Media, and Sport and local stakeholders, such as Hull City Council (UK) and Innlandet Region (Norway). AGREE also engages the public, raising climate adaptation awareness and mobilizing collective action, benefiting governmental climate efforts.

Advancing Cultural Heritage Governance for Resilient Climate Adaptation

Sjøisen i Arktis har minket drastisk de siste tiårene, og Polhavet forventes å være isfritt om sommeren mot slutten av århundret. Denne nedgangen har utsatt store havområder for vind, noe som har resultert i at det oftere dannes store bølger i Polhavet. Disse bølgene kan forplante seg over flere titalls til hundrevis av kilometer i sjøisen, knekke den og akselerere smeltingen. Disse fysiske prosessene – bølger som knekker sjøis og effekten dette har på sjøissmelting og vekst – mangler i modellene vi bruker for å forutsi klimautviklingen. Dette bidrar til store usikkerheter i klimamodeller. Effekten av bølger på sjøisen er heller ikke tatt med i prognoser for havets og sjøisens forhold, som brukes av skip som opererer i islagte farvann. I ForWArd ønsker vi å vurdere bølgenes innvirkning på sjøisens utvikling i det stadig røffere Polhavet. I dette arbeidet brukes en svært avansert modell som inkluderer sjøis, hav, bølger og deres interaksjoner. Vi skal først vurdere hvor godt den representerer forholdene i Polhavet sammenlignet med de få tilgjengelige observasjonene. Vi vil så bruke modellen til å undersøke hvordan bølgehøyden og arealet av ødelagt sjøis har utviklet seg de siste tre tiårene. Deretter vil vi kombinere modellen vår med forholdene i det fremtidige Polhavet gitt av klimafremskrivninger, for å undersøke hvordan betydningen av interaksjoner mellom bølger og is vil utvikle seg ettersom sjøis avtar i det 21. århundre. Vår modells estimering av "bølgepåvirkningen" vil tillate polarvitenskapsmiljøet å vurdere hvor usikre deres klimaspådommer uten bølger er. Til syvende og sist vil våre modellresultater og utviklinger legge grunnlaget for å legge til bølgeeffekter i hav- og sjøisvarsler i Arktis. Dette vil gjøre varslene mer nøyaktige og bidra til sikkerheten for menneskelig aktivitet i denne regionen.

Arctic sea ice decline under climate change has allowed waves to form and grow more easily in the Arctic Ocean. These waves propagate into the sea ice over tens to hundreds of kilometres, fragmenting it into small floes. This area of broken ice, known as the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ), is a highly complex region where many interactions occur between the ocean, sea ice, and atmosphere. The action of waves strongly affects these interactions, with rapid feedbacks on the sea ice. However, climate models do not account for these wave-ice interaction processes, which likely contributes to the strong biases in their estimation of modelled sea ice extent and volume and their inability to capture short-term sea ice extent variability. Given the lack of observations available, numerical models remain the best way to estimate how wave-ice interaction processes can impact Arctic sea ice, but most wave-ice coupled models are still prototypes. In ForWArd, we will use one of the most advanced of these models to assess this impact in the context of climate change. To this aim, we will use the latest observations to calibrate the modelled wave-affected area and produce a 30-year-long hindcast of the MIZ extent evolution to analyse how it responded to larger wave height, delayed refreezing, and thinner ice. Then, we will assess the relative importance of the wave-ice interactions suspected to affect sea ice in the MIZ using well-documented events. Finally, we will estimate how waves will contribute to sea ice extent and volume variability in the coming decades, as large areas of open water will remain open until late in the autumn. The flexibility of our setup will allow us to test the sensitivity of our results to model resolution and assumptions, giving invaluable insights into the biases induced by misrepresenting wave-ice interactions. ForWArd will also pave the way for the integration of wave effects in sea ice forecasts, a requirement for safer operations in ice-infested waters.

Forecasting Wave impact as Arctic sea ice declines

SASCHA har som mål å utvikle praktiske verktøy og metoder for å vurdere og håndtere kulturminner når klimaendringer utgjør en risikofaktor. Prosjektet ledes av University College London (UCL), og har Norsk institutt for kulturminneforskning (NIKU), Arizona State University (USA), NHAZCA (Italia) og North Carolina State University (USA) med som partnere. ICCROM (International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property), English Heritage Trust (Storbritannia) og Ventotene kommune (Italia) deltar i prosjektet som samarbeidspartnere. 

 Hovedmål for prosjektet:  
- Utvikling av indikatorer og målemetoder for måling av klimaendringers virkning på kulturarv. 
- Etablere metoder for å involvere relevante aktører i identifiseringen og målingen av disse virkningene. Metodene skal kunne tilpasses lokale forhold og kulturell kontekst. 
- Utvikle verktøy for å hjelpe beslutningstakere til å vurdere og anvende målinger på ulike nivåer. 
- Utforske utfordringer og muligheter knyttet til bruk av nye metoder for vurdering klimarelaterte risikofaktorer for kulturminner. 

Ved å oppnå disse målene skal SASCHA ruste lokalsamfunn og kulturminneforvaltningen til å bedre forstå og håndtere klimarisiko. I tillegg, gjennom samarbeid med organisasjoner som UNESCO og ICCROM, skal SASCHA bidra til globale diskusjoner om hvordan klimaproblematikken kan integreres i kulturminneforvaltningens praksis. Alt i alt vil SASCHA legge til rette for politikkutvikling og styrke kulturminneforvaltningen ved å tilby verktøy og metoder for å effektivt vurdere, tolke og formidle klimarisiko for kulturarvsteder over hele verden.

SASCHA proposes operationalisation for transferable risk assessment and a value-based decision support tool. Supported by this approach, the overarching aim of SASCHA is therefore to develop innovative methods for understanding risks of climate change for heritage that allow for multiscale analysis and scalable approaches, bridging the gaps between local knowledge and global data, and from local vulnerability to global risks. To this end, SASCHA will: a) develop a set of operationalised indicators/metrics for relevant determinants of climate change; b) develop a locally adaptable protocol for stakeholders' engagement in the identification of relevant determinants of climate impacts that acknowledge and celebrate diversity in cultural contexts; c) develop a climate adaptation decision support tool to evaluate relevance of assessment approaches for different spatial scales; d) explore the challenges and opportunities of an operationalisation approach to climate change--heritage risk. Addressing a complex, wide and research-intensive subject, SASCHA unfolds several organisational, scientific, technical, technological and cultural heritage-oriented elements. SASCHA includes four research partners, together bringing significant experience in climate change and heritage and requisite expertise in physical sciences (UCL), social sciences and humanities (NIKU, NCSU/ASU) and technology (NHAZCA). The consortium can significantly contribute to safeguarding and protecting their region's coastal heritage but also to the global discussion of the integration of climate impacts assessment on cultural heritage through the close collaboration with UNESCO's Advisory body, ICCROM and case study stakeholders. SASCHA will develop methods for assessing, interpreting, and communicating climate change risks for heritage, while also supporting effective policy development and heritage management.

Multiscale approaches and scalability within climate change-heritage risk assessments

Soil food webs play an important role in the functioning of Arctic ecosystems, but our knowledge of the distribution, dispersal and impacts of different organism groups is scarce. This project aims to gather experts on different aspects of the soil food web and its impacts, to paint an overview of the current state of knowledge and future research priorities. By summarizing the existing knowledge gaps, we will be able to highlight the most important areas that remain to be explored, set up a collaboration framework and suggest harmonized methods for future studies. A two-day workshop will serve as a basis for the writing of a publication summarizing existing data and their limitations, and will be the cradle of a network for Arctic soil ecologists that will span across countries but more importantly across domains of expertise: from plant roots and their consumers to microorganisms, gases and their impacts on the climate system.

Nordic Brain Tech AS (NBT) is a spin-off company (SME) from The Norwegian University of Science and Technology and St.Olavs Hospital. The company was founded in 2019 to commercialize a research-based intervention for treating migraines using remote biofeedback. Our goal is to improve brain health, and our ambitions include treating migraines and other neurological diseases by the use of technology. CEREBRI is our revolutionizing solution for prophylactic migraine treatment that takes advantage of mHealth developments to bring easier and cost-effective biofeedback therapies to patients.

The breakthrough innovation of CEREBRI will disrupt in the migraine treatment market by offering the following benefits to target users: 1) Patients will increase their control over their illness by reducing migraine episodes (30-50% less) as well as decreasing the need of medical treatment and associated side-effects, 2) Physicians will gain better knowledge of their patients and enable them to make accurate treatments and medication usage, and 3) Healthcare systems are offered a telemedicine tool for remote treatment and follow-up, leading to significant economic savings in physical consultations up and unnecessary treatments (potential annual costs savings of €11.3billion annually).

We estimate a total budget to execute the project that will reach €1.8M to cover the optimization of the device, the establishment of the manufacturing set-up, the realization of the clinical trials and CE-mark certification. At the end of the project CEREBRI will be ready for market entry.

CEREBRI: Intelligent Migraine Treatment for an Improved Brain Health

DigitiCE ledes av Janssen og målet med prosjektet er å utvikle, teste og analysere sirkulære løsninger og forretningsmodeller med fokus på elektronisk medisinsk utstyr. Dette for å unngå en fremtidig miljøbombe, hvor denne typen medisinsk EE-avfall vil øke eksponentielt de kommende tiårene hvis industrien ikke tar grep. Det mangler i dag bærekraftige løsninger på verdensbasis for håndtering, resirkulering og gjenbruk av denne typen produkter. GRINs rolle som partner i dette prosjektet er utvikling og levering av en fysisk og digital returplattform som gjør det mulig for pasienter å returnere medisinsk utstyr til resirkulering og gjenbruk på en trygg måte på et fysisk returpunkt (feks. apotek, sykehus, kjøpesentre med mer). Returplattformen skal også ha et digitalt brukergrensesnitt som pasienter kan interagere med, samt innlemmes med tredjeparts belønnings- og insentivordninger for retur.

Prosjektet DigitiCE omfatter flere arbeidspakker og milepæler fordelt på de ulike partnerne.

Considering the socio-ecological transition of Europe 2030, and towards a more resilient and informed community, focusing on the forests that are near wildfire risk, DRYADS propose a holistic platform that is able in every state challenge to provide a competitive advantage for EUROPE 2050. The proposed project will cover all the fire management phases (i.e. prevention and preparedness, detection and response, restoration and adaptation).

For Phase A - Prevention and Preparedness, DRYADS proposes to use a real-time risk calculator that can receive multiple classification inputs and work with a new proposed neural network-powered Risk factor indicator. A model of fire adapted communities (FAC) will be created in parallel to insurance incentives. DRYADS will also use innovate rubber-based materials, flame retardant wood, and alkali activated construction materials integrating post-wildfires wood ashes (PWA) for fire-resilient buildings and infrastructure. Regarding Phase B - Detection and Response, DRYADS will utilize Copernicus infrastructure, small drones, and airships for improved the space and aerial means. In addition, a reduced logistics footprint for rescue activities will be enabled by detailed analysis of the existing equipment and standardization of the data from smart sensors. Cross region/border collaborations will also be facilitated. Last, for Phase C - Restoration and Adaptation, DRYAD will build a new land and field-based restoration initiative that utilizes all modern techniques such as agroforestry, drones for seed spread, IoT sensors. The initiative will be able to adapt the seeding process based on the ground needs, and on the same time with the help of AI to determine post-fire risks factors.

DRYADS - A Holistic Fire Management Ecosystem for Prevention, Detection and Restoration of Environmental Disasters

The project aim to prove that it is possible to reduce the sea surface temperature in a large area by using a bubble curtain in an optimal position according to sea current, and thereby influence an incoming tropical storm (hurricane).
This project and technology is an climate action according to UN SG nr 13 climate action.

Hurricane prevention by temporarily reducing the sea surface temperature by innovative use of Bubble Curtain technology

Biogas is produced in anaerobic digester (AD) where microorganisms convert organic materials to methane and carbon dioxide. Biogas from waste is renewable energy and can significantly contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction. Compressed biomethane (CBM) and liquified biomethane (LBM) will play key roles in the transport sector in the European scheme of phasing out fossil fuels. It is expected that the biogas market will grow over 10% yearly. The typical organic conversion rates in AD are ranged 30-50%, which means over 50% of organics in waste end up in digestate. Digestate can be used as organic fertilizer. However, issues, such as microplastics and pharmaceutical residues in digestate, GHG emission during digestate storage and transportation and high transportation costs for diluted digestate, are still associated with current digestate handling practises. On the other hand, lignocellulosic wastes, such as garden waste, sawdust, agricultural wastes and forest wastes, has enormous potential as bioenergy. However, these waste streams are not considered as primary feedstocks to AD due to existence of lignin and its strong interaction with cellulose and hemicellulose which is the main hurdle to the conversion of lignocellulosic materials to biogas.  
In this project a thermochemical- and biological-integrated solution, which has been tested in a small scale, will be further developed and demonstrated in a large scale facility. The proposed solution would empower biogas plants to maximize biogas production via treating digestate and lignocellulosic wastes in existing facilities to meet growing demands from the transport sector and become more sustainable when facing stringent government regulations in the future. The submission will encompass all activities associated with technology development, testing and rollout of Synolys technology, and demonstrating unambiguously its impact on the industry wide state of the art.

Commercial development of the Synolys technology on biogas plant upgrading and biochar production

Microbiochar addresses the microbiological decontamination of soils contaminated with heavy metals (focusing especially on Pb, Cu and Cd) and organics (polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and phthalic acid esters) as well as complex mixtures of several of these contaminants. The concept of Microbiochar is to use biochar, obtained from pyrolysis of organic agricultural or forestry waste as a facilitator of decontamination. The full potential of this approach will be achieved by “functionalizing” biochar through the addition of micro-organisms to the biochar and use this functionalized biochar to improve bioremediation. Micro-organisms that are particularly efficient for remediation will be selected in the project. Experimental work will be conducted at different scales from pot experiments in the laboratory to field experiments that are comparable to relevant environment. State-of-the-art microbiological and molecular methods will be used to elucidate the mechanisms of biochar-aided remediation. Life cycle analysis and cost benefit analysis will quantify the scalability and compare the overall effectiveness of the approach in real large-scale remediation projects. We will conduct socio-economic analyses to embed stakeholder experiences and preferences to the proposed solutions and to explore the value chain of the biochar-aided remediation. The project will compare different legal and environmental governance requirements for biochar-aided remediation both in selected EU countries and in China. The project puts special emphasis on dissemination, exploitation and communication of the various results from our innovative approach including multiple stakeholder groups from the private and the public sector as well as the general public and policymakers.

NPWT is a well-documented and proven method for significantly accelerating the healing of chronic and infected wounds. It has also proven useful in the closure of surgical wounds and many more applications have been discovered since its inception in the 1990s. It works by sealing a wound with an airtight dressing and applying suction from an external pump connected via a tube. This accelerates healing by several mechanisms including wound contraction with diminished tensile forces, stabilisation of the wound environment, decreased oedema and improved removal of fluid from the wound, and increased blood and lymphatic flow.

Despite its benefits and expanding range of applications NPWT, is still regarded as a niche treatment, limited to surgical clinics in industrialised countries. It is widely believed that cost and complexity of use have impeded wider adoption. Aurora Tech's breakthrough lies in overcoming these challenges to the benefit of patients, health care personnel and hospitals. Specifically, EasyVac has been designed to be simple to manufacture, decreasing cost significantly and making it affordable for hospitals and clinics in low and middle income countries. 

The objective of the main project is to develop EasyVac and to avail the applicant to enter this market and capitalise on this business opportunity. To fulfil this goal, the applicant will finalise the manufacturing of the device, develop and execute a clinical study, and provide evidence-based clinical data for stakeholders’ acceptance of the use of EasyVac. In addition, the applicant will perform market intelligence analysis and finalise a business and commercialisation plan to facilitate securing agreements with licensing/distribution partners.

Independence Gear AS has developed Spectum, a connected assistive device to enable people with reduced mobility to perform a complete skin inspection without assistance, monitoring several skin parameters and the change of wounds over time by means of different sensors and cameras for measuring, e.g., the area and volume of a wound and to assess if a redness in the skin indicates an initial pressure ulcer (PU). The device is wirelessly connected to a cloud-based app that collects information about the skin condition and generates actionable health alerts and notifications in real-time to the end-users and healthcare professionals, if any critical area in the skin is found.
Independence Gear AS will lead the project, which will focus on the market launch and commercialisation of our technology. 
The main barriers for Independence Gear As going forward are related to acceptance by end-users and healthcare professionals. This project will enable: 1) optimisation of Spectum; 2) documentation of regulatory and technical aspects; 3) clinical demonstrations in relevant markets; 4) establishing agreements with key stakeholders for broad market roll out of the product.
The EIC Accelerator program provides a unique opportunity for Independence Gear to showcase the potential of its technology and gain market intelligence that will ultimately lead to acceptance by end-users. The completion of the project objectives is important for ensuring a successful entrance to the market and commercialisation of our innovative assistive device.

WoDo is a productive network website for medical doctors. We’re currently operational in Norway, under the name “Norsk Helseportal” (NHP). Our mission is to assist MDs with any non-patient related task to improve information logistics, knowledge sharing, and efficiency between doctors and healthcare units. The Doctor Networks today occur decentralised on unregulated platforms without full visibility and cooperation, the aim of NHP is to centralize such networks to our secure platform and provide an efficient experience for time consumed Doctors.

NHP also gives opportunities for government agencies to reach out to all doctors at the same time. This is important for sharing new regulations and new knowledge critical to the doctor’s practice, but also to reaching all doctors during public emergencies and guiding all doctors as a group. During emergencies NHP can even provide the government agencies with important statistics for decision making.

We verify that all registered users are in fact licensed MDs, and connect doctors directly to relevant tools, e.g. for job search, courses, discussion forums, shift planners, and calendars.

Cancer cachexia occurs in approximately 30–50% of all cancer patients, depending on type and stage (up to 86% of advanced cancer patients), creating approximately a 3-million annual incident patient population in the US, Europe and Japan.  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Cachexia is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by long-term breathing problems and poor airflow. The main symptoms include shortness of breath and cough with sputum production. COPD is a progressive disease, meaning it typically worsens over time.

The market entry model will be developed further during the proposal preparation stage together with the partners. In particular, on-line distribution model will be developed to reflect the situation our distributors are facing during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Our estimates show that the product can generate revenues for Smartfish in order of €100 Mn in 5 years post-launch.

In the CATALYSE project we will develop new and more powerful disruptive catalysts to assist for the cost-efficient conversion of non-food/feed biomass feedstock into advanced (2nd and 3rd generation) biofuels for road freight, air transport, shipping, and other uses, through catalytic thermo-chemical and physico-chemical processes. The successful execution of CATALYSE will contribute to putting the European and Japanese transport sector in the global limelight, by benefitting of high innovative performance catalytic conversion technologies. Fully exploiting the potential of certain types of non-conventional/low-value biomass/waste feedstocks, results in an increase in the availability of energy crops coming from marginal lands that do not compete directly with food crops. The GHG emissions associated with fossil-fuel based transportation will be avoided by replacing these with more advanced, sustainable and carbon-neutral biofuels alternatives , greatly reducing the environmental impact. Through the knowledge exchange of State-of-the-Art (SoA) and beyond SoA experimental catalysts, reactors and processes, CATALYSE will develop disruptive high-performance novel catalysts for the pathway composed of 3 pillars: (1) non-food/feed waste and bio-residues to syngas, (2) syngas to DME, and (3) DME to biofuel. Several complementing types of innovative reactors will also be investigated within the project to achieve an ideal process. The resulting advanced biofuels will be qualitatively characterized through motor tests.

Hydropower resources are unevenly distributed among Central Asian Countries. Despite this, it remains to be the most
exploitable renewable energy source within this region with both Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan endowed with some of the
world’s greatest hydropower potentials. Nevertheless, hydropower plays an important role for the energy balance for fossil fuel rich countries like Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan in the future. However, this potential can be limited by reduction of system lifetime due to the considerable amount of sand and silt during the monsoon seasons in Central Asia. Furthermore, water security greatly contributes to cross-border relations between the CA Republics as rivers sometimes flow through multiple borders. To address the impacts and realise efficient exploitation of small hydro potential, HydroMultiTech aims to improve on various hydropower equipment’s LCOE via the lengthening of lifetime, improving of efficiency and annual power output. Here,The Central Asian Region faces a number of immediate challenges in the transformation to a sustainable supply of electrical power. Several of these can be addressed using small and micro sized hydropower plants in the numerous small rivers and irrigation channels. The objective with this project is to enable extensive and efficient use of these existing resources, which are currently either inefficiently used due to aging network and equipment or still unexploited. Several new turbines and generators will be developed, manufactured, and tested. For higher usability, a pumped hydro storage system will also be tested and validated. To increase the understanding for the performance and enable optimization on system level, a hydrological digital twin of a relevant river system will be developed. Furthermore, optimal function requires a close watch on the network, hence intelligent monitoring utilizing 3D printed sensors together with control systems and smart grid interactions will be developed.

Modular, multi-purpose and sustainable small-scale hydropower solutions for Central Asian crossborder

Today, Ava offers separate solutions for video and cyber security. Both these solutions are highly effective in the domain they are designed for. They do however not work together to protect against hybrid physical/cyber threats. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, we wanted to design two products that solved very real customer problems with a budget attached before we moved onto our next project. Secondly, there has been limited market demand for such a Unified Security solution historically. Thirdly, there is significant complexity in collecting, analyzing and understanding data that spans the physical and cyber domains.

Now that Ava has achieved product-market fit for our first products, and data and customer feedback shows demand for a Unified Security solution, it is time to also solve the third challenge. To
do so, Ava will conduct a development project to integrate physical and cyber security solutions into a Unified Security view enabling companies to be proactive and avoid threats before they become incidents. This will be accomplished by building a common platform based on technology such as image and pattern recognition, machine learning, edge and cloud computing.

Mobil betaling er blitt svært utbredt i Skandinavia, dominert av aktører som VIPPS, Swish (Sverige) og Mobile Pay (Danmark), samt enkelte andre markeder (med closed-loop løsninger som Alipay og Mpesa). Utbredelsen i Europa er imidlertid fortsatt lav. Med Settle vil vi endre dette.

Settle er en plattform for mobil betaling utviklet spesielt for det Europeiske markedet, med en underliggende forretningsmodell designet for å gjenskape mekanismene som lå til grunn da de nå dominante Skandinaviske tilbyderne befestet sine posisjoner. 

Settle er allerede lansert lokalt i Kroatia og på Kypros, og vi er i ferd med å lansere lokalt selskap i Bulgaria. Vi har mål om å ha lansert lokale Settle selskaper i samtlige EU-land innen utgangen av 2025. 

Gjennom EARNED vil vi akselerere utviklingen av Settle og forbedre teknologien og tjenestene som leveres. Vi videreutvikler selve kjerneteknologien (overføringsmotoren), samt integrerer veksling av valuta for å understøtte internasjonale betalinger. Samtidig videreutvikler vi tjenester for forhandlere som gir økt innsikt i kundenes handlingsmønstre og preferanser.

I prosjektet vil CEO og kommersiell ansvarlig (Lene Kristin Wilhelmsen og Per Reidar Ørke) arbeide med delmålene, slik at vi kan sende inn en høykvalitets søknad innen første cut (7. oktober 2020).

Søknaden er en forbedring av tidligere søknad. I mai mottok vi Seal of Excellence på forrige søknad (20. mars cut) og presenterte foran jury. Dette prosjektet vil fokusere på forbedring av punktene som mottok lavest score på evalueringen.

Vi har tidligere ikke mottatt PES-midler, så vi ber om fullt støttebeløp nå selv om dette er en gjeninnsendig/forbedring. I tidligere søknader har vi brukt eksternt konsulentbyrå, men denne gangen akter vi å gjøre alt selv.

Det skal spesielt arbeides med to hovedfokus:
- Å skrive hele søknaden slik at den fokuserer mer mot forretnings-caset vårt enn den tekniske løsningen
- Å strukturere business-case, forretningsmodel, markedsanalyser, forecasts og budsjetter slik at de er realistiske, vanntette og overbevisende

Wenn develops innovations to provide solutions for all actors within the insurance industry. In just 2 year since we identified the pains in the claims handling process, we have developed and tested a proprietary AI-driven engine that uses computer vision and a set of machine learning techniques to automatically identify and appraise car damages and provide highly accurate cost report. Our pioneering solution will radically transform the claims handling process for insurance companies, auto repair shops and claimants. It is an end-to-end solution that also has the flexibility to easily integrate into any legacy system. The engine is a cloud-based, white-label SaaS. Unlike any competitor, our use of 3D imaging ensures we can provide automatic accurate cost reports (parts and work hours) based on surface and internal damage instantly. Our edge-based app solution uses the camera and accelerometer to guide the claimant through the image capturing process.  Claims handling is critical for value creation within an insurance company due to its significant impact on loss ratio, cost ratio and the overall customer experience – the 3 most important factors affecting industry profitability. Nevertheless, insurance claims handling systems are outdated, inefficient, costly and subjective. The current claims handling process is further cumbersome, tedious and complicated for all players in the value chain. 

The 24 month WAIT project will involve involve 4 main development areas.

1) Three distinct MVPs;
a.	improving the appraiser engine with techniques to create digital car damages for enhancing Ai-algorithms
b.	develop full solution for garage mode 
c.	develop a fixed setup (rig) for 247 access to the public to perform car damage assessment

2)	A full solution for the customer journey, including policy interpreter, insurance coverage comparison, and integration and innovative enhancement of existing insurance companies solutions..

The aim of the GO 2.0 project is to continue the development of My Workout´s unique app GO –an advanced research-based training app technology that has been designed and developed to promote an active lifestyle in the population and thus prevent early death linked to inactivity - and deliver a second generation.   Myworkout services include a whole set of new technologies that will offer users, healthcare services, insurance companies and private companies a new affordable, seamless and efficient healthcare solution to improve outcomes and reduce costs of inactivity which is a serious global health risk. A 2019 report based on 75,105 measurements of 7,480 unique users in Norway shows the potential of our innovation to reduce biological age up to 18,775 years and a reduction of 14,960 days of sick leaves for companies. The potential for further development 

Myworkout GO is a high-risk breakthrough and commercially oriented innovation that has a high risk during both its technological development (high costs of development still required) and commercial development (including the uncertainty about the acceptance rate of the technology by end-users and scientific validation). The focus of the 24 month projects is thus focused on 3 key technological areas: i)add functionalities for key functions automation and better user experience; ii) app internationalization (languages), API service, and improving architecture; iii) improving end-user experiences.  In addition the project will focus on developing a solid commercialization plan and integration with future potential customers (insurance companies) to ensure economic scalability and successful launch into market, first in Europe and then in other parts of the world.

The way in which human capital is managed has a direct effect on a business´ bottom line. Thus, research shows that Human Resource Management tools (HRM) based on robust statistics can boost profitability up to 30%. Current HRM tools, however, still present low reliability as they are based on a small data sample, have not been validated by the research community, and lack robust analytics to target all aspects of an employee’s lifecycle. Thus their impact on the performance of the company in economic terms is very limited. 

EBHR AS will take advantage of the market opportunity opened by fact that more companies are using digital technologies to engage top talent (use of AI to automate processes) and their increased focus on being employee-centric in decisions,  by finalizing the development and pre-commercialization of our innovative solution EBBER, a HRM platform powered by reliably AI and ML psychometrics that covers an employee’s full lifecycle: from recruitment, through working environment perception and performance, to the creation of a risk profile model, for both, organizational units and individuals, that combined with the organizations’ strategic foci, generates the best actions to improve employee well-being and organizational output.  EBBER will be the first HRM solution in the market that exploits the potential of psychometric meta-analysis for behavioural predication in the workplace. With EBBER we aim to seriously impact the economic performance of companies.

During the 24 month project we will focus attention on fulfilling all functional, operational and technical requirements for an open beta version of the platform, creation of a user-friendly interface, and through testing and validation deliver a fully operational platform, EBBER, ready for market launch. We will further create a comprehensive commercialization strategy for a successful market launch, first in Europe, and then the USA.

EBBER - an evidence-based HR management platform powered by reliable AI-psychometrics

STORING-CO2 will identify and provide a geological characterisation of  new prospective storage sites for CO2. The sites are in different areas in Europe based on the availability of the sites and input from CO2-intensive industry for potential economic CO2-storage. New analysis of cores, well-logs and seismic will provide the basis for the geological characterisation together with wells and well logs to be drilled and measured during the project. A monitoring strategy will be developed based on new downhole and surface measurements of seismicity using novel methods and CO2 detection at the surface.  Together with the industry partners and stakeholders, detailed plans for the sites and an economic analysis will be developed. Public acceptance is important for CO2 storage projects and this will also be addressed in combination with the monitoring strategy.
