CSR in Midt-Norge, May 4th
A regional CSR meeting in Trondheim at the 4th of may is under planning. We therefore recommend you to save the date and more information will be made available soon.

IØ8503 PhD-course start
Monday 28. February will be the first gathering in the IØ8503 PhD-course. The meeting will be held in auditorium F5 at the Gamle Fysikk-building on the NTNU, Gløshaugen campus.

The course shall deliver the students insights on the theories and research traditions of distinct disciplines and their interactions. It should also give support to develop an individual research design for the students' concrete "research‐case". This design includes the ability to understand which methods from the Natural Sciences, Technology, the Humanities and Social Sciences are appropriate for the particular work, how to classify and give preference to the single approaches and how to integrate them in the doctoral project where sustainability, industrial ecology and environmental responsibility has a central position.
