Research Activities at IndEcol
The research activities at the Industrial Ecology Programme are
initiated and organised in order to support a research based education
in our MSc in Industrial Ecology. We focus on research collaboration in
a multidisciplinary setting, but with an emphasis to research
issues or methodologies that we believe have potentials
for advancing the area of Industrial Ecology within our university.
We give a high priority to research projects at the PhD
and Post-doctoral level, as well as students' research projects
at the graduate level.
We are involved in a larger Norwegian research programme "Productivity
2005" (or P2005), which is in operation from1998 through
2005. This programme aims to strengthen strategic competence in
Norwegian manufacturing industries. Our project "P2005 Industrial
Ecology" is one of the key focus areas in P2005, and gives
us a long-term financial basis for the development of theory and
methodology in the area of Industrial Ecology. A significant part
of the overall activity within IndEcol is related to the development
of the LCA-laboratory.
Sustainable Consumption is a new research area
which we plan to expand in the future. We currently participate
in "Evaluating examples
of sustainable consumption" as well as a number of collaborations. Further, the FESCOLA project has recently been completed.
Finally, we have also succeeded in contracting
some other projects in Industrial Ecology on the basis of strategic
funds from the Norwegian Research Council and funds from other sources.
