Veni has created a groundbreaking concept that helps to handle complex geometrical and informational interfaces in design and construction of industrial projects. Facilities where manufacturing or processing of food/beverages, batteries, pharmaceuticals, metals etc. has started using our concept to save money and time, while increasing quality. Per now, some of the steps in this concept are manually done, in modifying geometry in 3D-files. We’ve automated a lot, but there’s still room for much more. We want to explore how e.g. machine learning can help further optimize this concept.

We need your help to explore: How can we utilise data and AI – such as Dall-E 2 – to drive value in homebuilding, being more customer-centric and cost-friendly? Moreover, what is the potential in using AI to help construction services reduce the materials required and thereby have a more sustainable approach?

As a national provider of building integrated solar solutions for private homes and commercial market, we see that the Norwegian regulations and standards are not able to keep up with the innovative products coming into the market. Our business model allows the building industry to take new solutions and make them into standard roof and façade solutions. We therefore have a responsibility to be advisors on installation techniques and always according to Norwegian law and regulations. We would like to contribute to safe and good installations methodologies and would like to challenge students to look at products vs regulations and how can this be done in a smarter, safer and quicker fashion.

We have established a microgrid around the International Terminal in Risavika, with solar panels, batteries, chargers, and a control system. We have the data from over a year of operation, and want to look at how we can make better use of the battery in the microgrid, and in a larger context in the grid in Risavika.

Waste Heat is present everywhere from waste incineration plants to industry and data centres. However, it is not always compliance between the temperature level, location nor the time of excess heat and energy demand. Thermal energy storage in district heating systems can increase waste heat utilization, and decarbonise and reduce other environmental impacts of the energy system.

Coboost develops a webbased application for co-creation in meetings and workshops. The application builds on 25 years of experience and books written in the field of creativity, meeting management, co-creation and innovation processes. The founder, Erik Lerdahl, is a professor in design methods and innovation processes at UiS.“
1. A go-to market strategy for our company. Consider different approaches to reach a global market, and how to succeed when scaling up.
2. Explore ways to further develop our solution (app).
3. Create video/movie that shows how the app is used, and brings out the value of the solution.

How we can reduce emissions and increase the quality of life – at the same time. Our focus is on reducing consumption-based emissions. We have the knowledge and technology available, but we are moving too slow. How can we change behavior, use technology and communication to achieve our common goals. How can sustainability be simplified, so that we can move in the same direction. And how should the municipality tackle this challenge?

1. How can diversity foster innovation for the green shift?
2. How do companies deal with risks associated with diversifying the workforce?
3. How can diversity help deal with the complexity related to issues of wicked nature (climate change)?
4. The challenges and benefits an organisation experiences when diversifying workforce
5. Managing workforce diversity in an international organisation

Thesis revolves around The Aqua Culture industry. Strong advances in the use of technology is observed. With these technologies and the ambient environment where they are applied comes a new set of workflows that will bring enormous amounts of data that calls for digitalization at all levels. What might constitute good empirical information, effective methods, and relevant applications of technology – all within an ESG frame.

We want to map trends and effects of employee’s co-ownership in companies. There is an increasing trend for this, and it becomes more and more important in order to reduce inequalities. There are different forms for co-ownership arrangements and there are new regulations addressing this. It is interesting to look closer into the effects of this and co-ownership for both the companies and the employees.

Reliable submersible electrical machines are vital for the ongoing electrification in the North Sea, and for the development of new sources of marine energy. How can we develop virtual prototypes of these machines for Multiphysics simulations before they are built? And how can we empirically test them in a representative and efficient manner before they are deployed in the field?
