Pro-rector Bj?rn Jamtveit opened the third edition of The Future of Energy is Green and Digital, reminding us both of the extreme concentration of carbon dioxide (CO?) in the atmosphere and the increasing AI-specific power demands. There is no denying that the future will be digital but whether it will be green or not is up to all of us, he argued.
Manjana Miloreit wants to understand how to enable leaders, institutions, and communities to think and act on time horizons that match the pace of Earth system change. The professor at the Department of Sociology and Human Geography receives two million euros from the EU's prestigious Consolidator Grant to do so.
UiO:Energy and Environment welcomed all UiO staff interested in participating in applications for new social science-related FMEs - with particular emphasis on energy transition and consequences for society, climate and nature. See the recording and the presentation from the meeting below.
The research is a pioneering effort to employ drones for methane (CH4) emission quantification from ruminants in sub-Saharan Africa. It is one of the first field studies to measure methane emissions from camels, a largely understudied source.
Three new convergence environments at the University of Oslo will receive funding to research how volcanic eruptions can trigger climate crises, explore circular solutions for CO? and H?O, and examine crime in international shipping. With interdisciplinary approaches, the researchers aim to find new answers to some of today’s pressing challenges.
As part of?The Future of Energy?conference on January 14 2026, master’s students, PhD students, and postdoctoral researchers are invited to showcase their posters and compete for the Best Poster Prize!
This year, the Norwegian Research School in Renewable Energy (NorRen) took place from August 18-22. It gathered 30 PhD students from Norwegian and European Universities. The summer school was held at Fana Folkeh?gskule, near Bergen, in a green and peaceful setting.
This summer, we have witnessed extensive heatwaves affecting several places in Europe. Overheating can pose significant health risks for vulnerable groups in urban areas.
Researchers have created an energy model to find different ways for Europe to be climate neutral by 2050. The good news, is that there are many ways to achieve this goal.
When glaciologist Thomas V. Schuler arrived in Svalbard in the fall of 2024, he realized the seriousness of the situation. A new Norwegian study shows that the ice melted to an extent we have never seen before.
Now is your chance! A Gemini centre is an arena for building larger, more robust, higher-quality academic communities that will be better able to seize and develop new opportunities. The fall application deadline is October 15.
Markus M. Bugge at the Centre for Technology, Innovation and Culture has been awarded NOK 12 million from the Research Council to examine the role of public administration in the ongoing energy transition.
The world's glaciers are melting, and this affects communities and the natural environment. Climate policy can preserve more ice mass, researchers point out.
Nature got there first: When CO2 reacts with volcanic rock, it transforms from a greenhouse gas into solid minerals.
Can permafrost and environmental sciences be showcased in a gallery? Do artists and the art scene contribute to scientists and scientific understanding, and vice versa? The answer is yes. The exhibition "A Feeling of Longing That Freezes and Thaws" was a successful collaboration held at Atelier Nord, Oslo.
What does it take to transform an initial research idea into a large-scale, prestigious ERC grant? For Andrea Joslyn Nightingale, the seed funding she received from UiO:Energy and Environment played an important role in shaping her journey: from developing the thematic research group (TRG) UNRULY Sustainability, to securing an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC).
Researcher Atia Azad (UiO) is designing a microgrid that integrates waste EV batteries with renewable energy sources.
On January 9, well over 400 participants gathered in the University library at Blindern for a full day conference on the green and digital transition. Read UiO:Energy and Environment's director Vebj?rn Bakken's reflections about the conference below.
Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking at the Future of Energy is Green and Digital conference, hosted by UiO:Energy and Environment. The event was inspiring and an excellent way to kick off 2025!
At this year’s Future of Energy conference, we introduced a poster exhibition and competition for the very first time. Former UiO Master's student Tuva Werner-Torgesen received the highest number of votes from conference attendees, ultimately winning the poster competition.
