Norwegian solid-wood structures can protect Italian cities from earthquake damage. A European research project shows how concrete buildings can be reinforced with wood to prevent them from collapsing when an earthquake strikes.

Robots that pick the finest berries, and sensors that find the best and healthiest raw produce. New technology will provide us with better food at cheaper prices.

The technology will ensure that the food that ends up on your table is safe to eat, even before it leaves the farm. The solution is a simple, portable device that quickly scans the food and identifies mould, pesticides and antibiotics.

Student research labs (SRL) is a new initiative at the Faculty of Science and Technology (REALTEK) at NMBU to allow students to participate in research at an early stage.

Scientists simulate models of the human brain to understand how cell and system levels in the brain interact. In this way, they hope that we will understand brain disease better.

Wider scope, more participants, and more inclusive, but fewer informal chats. The NEST Conference went virtual this year and is likely to do so again.

In many education systems today there is a hidden curriculum of unsustainability, says Dutch professor Arjen Wals. He thinks it is reamarkable that four Norwegian schools have committed to integrating sustainability as part of their educational program through NMBU’s university school programme. 

An EU funded research project called RoBUTCHER is set to find new robotics and artificial intelligence solutions for the meat industry. The project started in January 2020 and is coordinated by NMBU.

Can we understand the brain without mathematics? NMBU plays key role in flagship brain project developing software tools to integrate our knowledge of the brain in mathematical models.

New research project will study how changes and variations in climate affect a society's vulnerability and risk of mosquito-transmitted diseases, particularly dengue fever, in Southeast Asia.

Meet Thorvald: The helpful robot farmer who may become the strawberry farmer's best friend. Among Thorvald’s many talents is preventing mildew from damaging plants without the need for pesticides.

Clean Norwegian drinking water should not be taken for granted. Climate change will make access to and use of water increasingly more important. Students must face this future with the required expertise.

In the years ahead, more and heavier rain will fall. Researchers are working on innovative solutions that will save both money and the environment.

NMBU is participating in an important new research project in which multiple disciplines will work closely together to answer questions concerning the brain and disease.

NMBU's scientists are making an even greater mark than last year in this year's allocation of funding for independent projects from The Research Council of Norway.

Imagine if a developing heart attack could be detected by combining ECGs with mathematical calculations. 

Anna Machina is defending her thesis in mathematics on October 8th

A research group at IMT, lead by Cecilie Rolstad, is part of the nordic project NCoE SVALI (Stability and Variations of Arctic Land Ice).

Improving Health and Livelihoods in Changing Climate

In connection with a visit from the University of Milan, IMT will with IPM organizing a seminar with the title "Potentials of advanced image analysis technology in cereal science research." The semiar is on Monday June, 14.

Project leaders Hans Overgaard and Thor Axel Stenström, and PhD student Nsa Dada from IMT, UMB went to Vientiane, Laos in the beginning of March 2010 to arrange a project start up workshop for the so called DIADEN project.

In the high temperature lab at IMT researchers illustrate how biomass can be converted to bio-oil using molten salt pyrolysis.

Studies show that projected climate change will cause increased flooding in Norwegian cities. Research on how to handle this challenge is carried out at IMT.
