| 28.06.2010 | Although a major accident such as the one on Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico could happen in the North Sea, well-established organisational models and stringent safety measures reduce that risk, reports a Norwegian research project. |
| 23.06.2010 | This autumn, Dr Lars Espen Aukrust will assume the post of Counselor for Science attached to the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Washington D.C. He will succeed Dr Berit Johne, who will be leaving the position after four eventful and fruitful years. |
| 22.06.2010 | Norway and France have long shared close ties when it comes to the exploitation of offshore petroleum resources. Now the two countries are looking to expand that cooperation to include research and development on renewable marine resources. |
| 11.06.2010 | As part of the International Polar Year (IPY) 150 seals have been working as research assistants in the Arctic and the Antarctic. Their efforts have resulted in the acquisition of large amounts of new data that until now researchers could only dream of obtaining. |
| 06.05.2010 | Long-term Norwegian research on environment-friendly energy has generated results of high international standard and spawned new industrial value creation. Recently, the Large-scale Programme Clean Energy for the Future (RENERGI) reached the midway point in its programme period. |
| 30.04.2010 | Norwegian researchers have found a possible explanation for why the deadly intestinal disease DGS attacks cod larvae. Could producers soon be rid of this bottleneck in cod aquaculture? |
| 30.04.2010 | “Dialogue and cooperation between researchers and industry are crucial if Norway is to become the world’s foremost seafood nation,” stated Lisbeth Berg-Hansen, Minister of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs, speaking at the major conference on aquaculture research recently hosted by the Research Council. |
| 23.04.2010 | For production fish, a serene start to life raises their chances for normal development. This is the main conclusion of a major research project on malformations in cod and salmon. |
| 08.04.2010 | Ask a Norwegian where he most likes to be, and he is likely to say at his cabin. In Norway, cabins are getting bigger and better-appointed. What is the environmental impact of this development, and why do Norwegians so enjoy cabin life? |
| 07.04.2010 | Norwegians are known for their love of nature and outdoor recreation. More than a third of all Norwegians feel that outdoor recreation is their most important leisure activity. But activity trends are changing towards more action – with less physical exertion. |
| 11.01.2010 | Research useful to the aquaculture industry is being funded under several programmes at the Research Council. The most recent newsletter from the HAVBRUK programme presents a selection of projects illustrating the breadth and diversity of this research. |
| 23.11.2009 | Mens vi mennesker sliter med svineinfluensa og sesonginfluensa, kan laksen bli kvitt sin influensa i løpet av få år. |
| 27.10.2009 | Through its extensive presentation of statistics and indicators, the 2009 Report on Science and Technology Indicators for Norway offers a valuable perspective on Norwegian research and innovation, complete with commentary and analysis. |
| 06.10.2009 | Now available in print is the report from the working group appointed in 2008 to give an account of the state-of-the-art of research on early life stages in fish: "The fish larva: a transitional life form, the foundation for aquaculture and fisheries." |
| 25.09.2009 | This autumn the VERDIKT programme is focusing on the Internet of the future in its largest funding announcement to date. Priority will be given to projects within the thematic areas of Social networks, the Internet of Things and Mobile Internet. |
| 01.09.2009 | Researchers and research fellows at a number of Norwegian research communities are taking part in four Norwegian-Indian cooperative projects on fish and animal vaccines. At least as many people at Indian universities and research institutions are participating in the projects. |
| 01.09.2009 | There are still distinct differences between stocks of wild salmon in Norwegian waters - even after 30 years of aquaculture activities. Nevertheless, researchers are not relaxing their concerns about diversity. |
| 27.08.2009 | Researchers have now documented what many have feared: not only do farmed cod spawn in their cages, but the larvae journey far and wide. And some survive to become sexually mature. |
| 27.08.2009 | Over the years Norwegian aquaculture facilities have become much more environmentally sound - and much larger. Suitable placement of aquaculture sites will make them more sustainable. |
| 27.08.2009 | "If we acquire knowledge early enough about undesired effects of aquaculture, then measures can be implemented in time," says Sigve Nordrum, chair of the HAVBRUK programme board. Sustainability is the main topic of the programme's latest newsletter. |
| 28.05.2009 | With a new membrane that allows only CO2 to pass, the flue gas from coal-fired and gas-fired power plants can be treated without the use of amines or other chemicals. Project manager May-Britt Hägg asserts that the costs involved will be the same or less |
| 27.05.2009 | Of the amines employed in new technology for CO2 capture, a small proportion escapes into the atmosphere with the flue gas emitted by gas-fired power plants. This can lead to the formation of new compounds that may give health-related and environmental challenges. How to deal with this issue is the subject of several research projects. |
| 25.05.2009 | The use of artificial lighting in cages has proven effective in delaying sexual maturation in salmon - but the effect on cod is not the same. Now researchers are investigating why. |
| 25.05.2009 | Knowledge about why, how and where farmed cod escape is essential for implementing preventative measures. |
| 20.05.2009 | Why do cod escape, and what impact do they have on the wild cod stocks? The latest issue of the HAVBRUK programme newsletter takes a close look at escaped production cod. |
