NIBIO is a project driven research institute and collects approximately 400 million NOK annually in project funding from both national and international sources. A lot of activity is carried out through EU and EEA-projects and we also participate in research projects in Asia, Africa and Latin America. NIBIO coordinates several large international projects with a particular focus on food security and climate change. The list of projects is not complete.
The goal of this project centers around designing innovative systems from wood biomass to create advanced lignocellulosic materials. These materials will be engineered to withstand fluctuations in humidity, temperature, and potentially fire conditions. One of the primary objectives of the project is to examine the effect of nano and micro carbon molecules on the thermal degradation process.
Reducing the consumption of materials and substances for the production of modern windows and increasing the recyclability and reuse of materials after the end of their service life.
The introduction of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), or drones, to traditional reindeer herding has - literally - given the indigenous Sámi herders a new perspective: the aerial one.
The systemic use of urban landscapes for food production is a major step towards more sustainable, liveable and healthier cities.
