GrønnMet’s primary objective is to serve as a hub for interdisciplinary research collaboration and knowledge dissemination in green energy, catering to a wide audience including academia, industry, and STEM students. We are closely collaborating with departments within OsloMet, including MEK (Department of Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical engineering), BE (Department of Built Environment), and IT (Department of Computer Science). We believe, GrønnMet symbolizes the harmonious blend of technology and sustainability and will place OsloMet at the forefront of Green Energy education, research and knowledge transfer. Additionally, this initiative is vital for reinforcing academic circles at OsloMet and sets the groundwork for future educational and academic growth within the green energy sector.
