GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANIZATION
SINTEF was established in 1950 by the former Norwegian Institute of Technology, which today is a part of NTNU. As a result of its own growth and mergers with other institutes, SINTEF has developed into Scandinavia’s largest independent research organisation. We have employees from over 70 nations and customers in more than 50 countries around the world. 73% of our employees are Research Scientists, and of these, 55% have a PhD. In total, we have more than 2000 employees. SINTEF is located in Trondheim in mid-Norway (approx. 1,400 employees) and in Oslo (approx. 400). We also have personnel in offices and subsidiary companies in Bergen, Tromsø, Ålesund, Raufoss, Mo i Rana and Porsgrunn. SINTEF also operates a research station in Svalbard. SINTEF Ocean conducts research and innovation related to ocean space for national and international industries. Our ambition is to continue Norways leading position in marine technology and biomarine research. Our vision is Technology for a better society.x
