UiT the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) is in 2017 formally establishing the Arctic Centre for Sustainable Energy (ARC). This is an interdisciplinary centre focussing on Arctic challenges and conditions within renewable energy and greenhouse gas management. The centre will combine expertise in physics, humanities, chemistry, social sciences, applied mathematics, marine biology, computer science and electrical engineering. The initiative will permeate the university in its entirety and will strengthen existing research activities at UiT within the scope of the centre.
The centre is a 110 MNOK initiative by UiT, which will finance eight new professors within renewable energy and greenhouse gas management. Each new professor will receive one PhD student and/or one Post Doctoral position at his/her disposal as part of a start-up package. The applicant should value working in an interdisciplinary environment. In addition to the UiT initiative the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education decided to contribute to two more positions.
The centre’s main objectives are:
-
interdisciplinary R&D excellence within renewable energy and CO2 management in order to create sustainable societies in the Arctic
-
to create an internationally competitive and outstanding environment that is an attractive R&D partner for the commercial and public sectors to ensure that graduates receive high quality education and expertise within renewable energy and CO2 management that is relevant for the business and public sector in the north
The focus themes of the centre, seen in an arctic context, are ethical and responsible presumption of distributed renewable electricity, fuels and thermal energy, and an accountable management of greenhouse gases.
