Organizational Structure

The Research Centre is organized as a

joint NTNU/SINTEF unit, hosted by The

Norwegian University of Science and

Technology (NTNU). The Centre leadership is

thus shared between the two organizations.

and Fine Art, Dept. of Architectural Design,

History and Technology.

The Centre has a General Assembly and

an Executive Board. The General Assembly

includes all partners. The General Assembly

gives guidance to the Board in their decision-

making on major project management

issues and approval of the semi-annual

implementation plans. The Board is

responsible for the quality and progress of

the research activities towards the Research

Council of Norway and for the allocation of

funds to the various activities. The Board is

comprised of the Centre management and

partner representatives. The user partners

have majority on the Board and are selected

from different groups of user partners.

The International Advisory Committee has

representatives from leading international

institutes and universities and will ensure

international relevance and quality of the work

performed. The Reference Group consists

of representatives from end user groups

and relevant organizations and is used both

as a forum for testing the relevance of the

work and to help disseminate the results to

appropriate Norwegian audiences

The main participating NTNU departments

are Dept. of Architectural Design, History

and Technology (host institution), Dept. of

Civil and Transport Engineering, Dept. of

Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture, and Dept.

of Energy and Process Engineering. The

main SINTEF units participating in the Centre

are SINTEF Building and Infrastructure,

SINTEF Materials and Chemistry, and

SINTEF Energy Research. In addition,

cooperation is established with other relevant

FMEs. SINTEF has status as research

partner in the Centre.

The Work Package (WP) leaders coordinate

the research tasks within the WPs, and report

to the Centre management.
