The research group Reservoir Physics the University of Bergen has been awarded NOK 5 million from the INTPART programme. The funding will support a four-year initiatives that strengthen international partnerships in higher education, research, and innovation. This collaboration aims to address global challenges while further enhancing Norwegian academic excellence.
A global network for sustainable subsurface energy storage
At the Faculty of Science and Technology, the new project ICE-SSR will advance education and research in physics-based modeling and simulation of energy and carbon storage. The initiative is carried out in close partnership with NORCE and nine leading universities and research institutions in Europe, North and South America, and Asia.
Researchers at the Department of Physics and Technology (IFT) and the Department of Mathematics (MI) will develop new courses, organize winter schools and workshops, and facilitate exchanges and joint supervision of master鈥檚 and PhD students with the project鈥檚 international academic partners. The activities are closely linked to the and build on 黑料吃瓜资源鈥檚 world-leading research in CO鈧 storage.
鈥This grant gives us a unique opportunity to strengthen interdisciplinary and international collaboration in sustainable energy and carbon storage in the subsurface. For our interdisciplinary academic community at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, it means we can offer our students access to a global network of leading researchers, innovative courses, and training in the green transition,鈥 says Prof. Martin Fern酶 at IFT.
The project is called International Cluster of Excellence in Sustainable Subsurface Research (ICE-SSR). In addition to Fern酶, the project team includes Sarah Gasda (NORCE and IFT), Jan Martin Nordbotten (MI), Kundan Kumar (MI), and Geir Ersland (IFT).
