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.
FlexBio develops flexible biorefinery technologies to convert Norwegian food industry by-products and urban food waste into valuable feed ingredients. The project integrates biotechnology, process optimisation, and socio-economic assessment to enable more efficient and locally adapted use of bioresources.
Broad-leaved dock (Rumex obtusifolius) and curled dock (Rumex crispus) are some of the most problematic weed species in grasslands worldwide; joined, in Norway and the rest of Northern Europe, by the far less studied northern dock (Rumex longifolius).
Precilience will develop precision solutions with farmers, foresters, landowners, and other actors to increase climate resilience in the Nordic-Baltic regions of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
SmartForest will position the Norwegian forest sector at the forefront of digitalization resulting in large efficiency gains in the forest sector, increased production, reduced environmental impacts, and significant climate benefits. SmartForest will result in a series of innovations and be the catalyst for an internationally competitive forest-tech sector in Norway. The fundamental components for achieving this are in place; a unified and committed forest sector, a leading R&D environment, and a series of progressive data and technology companies.
