The MC2 project at University of Oslo is hightlighted with a "Results in Brief" news article at the Cordis (EU research results) website. Project leader Professor Trude Storelvmo is interviewed in the article and gives a short overview over research and results in the project.
New Norwegian record with two bronze medals in the international Biology Olympiad, one for Jaesung Shin and the other for Karoline Ravlo-Losvik. Congratulations!
The prestigious researcher organization EMBO has announced their new members in 2023.
Now students who want to pursue a career in innovation and entrepreneurship can take an honours certificate in Life Science Innovation. From 15 September it will possible to apply for admission, the application deadline is 15 October. The studies will start in January 2024.
Computer science student Espen Lønes has gone straight from a busy spring semester to new challenges - he is one of 48 students who receive a grant from UiO:Life Sciences to contribute to a research project this summer.
A research team at and affiliated to the Dept. of Geosciences has won an award from the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Geosciences Union for their project collaboration on earth observation and measurement of glaciers.
Anders Jahre's Main Award for 2023 is awarded to Professor Maiken Nedergaard, University of Copenhagen. Anders Jahre's prize for young researchers is given to Assistant Professor Marcus Buggert, Karolinska Institutet.
The Horizon Europe project Wind In My Backyard (WIMBY project) aims at addressing the challenges of wind energy development, putting the needs of citizens and communities at its center.
SPARK Nordic visited Silicon Valley at the end of April. In total there where 19 participants from SPARK Norway and SPARK Finland. The purpose of the trip was to introduce the Nordic SPARK projects to the opportunities available in Silicon Valley and give them the opportunity to build their own networks and market understanding.
The University of Oslo annually awards five prizes for research, young researchers, education, dissemination and innovation.
New chemical transformations can be catalyzed with molecular gold compounds or gold nanoparticles. Researchers at the catalysis group have reported a simple and robust protocol for the synthesis of gold(III) compounds that are crucial for the development of these catalytic reactions. The synthesis utilizes heating in a microwave oven, and produces a number of new compounds, quickly and cleanly, in a one-step process.
The Nordic SPARK programs which include UiO:Life Science' innovation program SPARK Norway, have successfully collaborated over several years to boost the emergence of new innovative solutions in the health tech and life science field. Collaboration in mentoring of the projects started a few years ago, and we are now building the next level joint efforts.
Yesterday professor Josef Noll from the University of Oslo arranged a thematic workshop, aiming to broaden public responsibility of - and for higher education.
Dense ceramic oxygen transport membranes (OTMs) combining high oxygen flux with chemical and mechanical stability find numerous applications in industrial processes where oxygen is extracted from air. In the present publication, Sintef Industry and The Electrochemistry group at SMN have collaborated in a project financed by the Research Council of Norway (CLIMIT 268450) rationalizing the performance limitation of OTMs based on state-of-the-art ceramic composite system.
With 71 people from 21 countries spread over four continents, the researchers at the Center for Excellence in Research kept a high pace.
Heterogeneous catalysis is a key enabling technology for the transition from a fossil-based society to a renewables-based scenario. Industrial catalysts are always shaped into millimeter-sized catalyst objects suitable for large scale industrial use. However, these catalysts invariably suffer from a loss of performance due to carbon deposits. It is vital to understand how these phenomena occur in these shaped objects, resolved both in time and space.
Joint research between the University of Oslo and Pennsylvania State University resulted in the development of a toolset necessary to understand the chemical changes in amorphous battery materials at atomistic level. This work has been recently published at Chemistry of Materials and has been selected for a cover page of the corresponding issue.
Nanocomposite materials consist of nanometer-sized quantum objects such as atoms, molecules, voids or nanoparticles embedded in a host material. These quantum objects can be exploited as a superstructure, which can be designed to create material properties targeted for specific applications.
Professor and glaciologist Regine Hock at the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo has been appointed to honorary doctorate at Uppsala University. It is in recognition of her long and dedicated research on glaciers, among other things for having developed models for calculating and forecasting how much the world's glaciers are melting.
The peri-coastal areas of Antarctica, the largest ice-free area of the Antarctic continent where atmospheric conditions have generated one of the most extreme environments on the planet, are undergoing degassing from the permafrost.
From January 1 2023, several changes have been implemented in the organisation of the scientific sections at the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo. Four new sections have been created. But not everything changes, three sections continue as before.
Six new teams have been admitted to UiO´s innovation programme SPARK Norway. They will develop their ideas within health-related life sciences for the benefit of patients and society.
Connecting diverse topics in chemistry, the difference between learning and doing science is not always as clear cut - especially when you apply new tools to open unexplored learning paths.
Are you a PhD student, postdoc or master's student in life sciences and looking for career opportunities outside academia - then you must sign up for Norway Life Science 2023!
The UiO Growth House, dScience – Centre for Computational and Data Science, UiO:Life Science and UiO:Energy and Environment are now co-located in Oslo Science Park. ‘Now the units can work more closely together and draw on each other's expertise as well as extract synergies from each other. This gives UiO the opportunity to develop its strategic initiatives and strengthen the innovation thinking’, says UiO's vice-rector for research and innovation Per Morten Sandset.
