Research[edit] Ohma Electra was one of the first AC powered locomotives in the world (in operation from 1908 to 1950). It is now placed in front of the Old Electrical Engineering building. Sintef SeaLab NTNU research vessel Gunnerus NTNU's history of research in engineering goes back to early 20th century, where the first Norway's electric railway, known as Thamshavn Line, was developed and constructed in Trondheim, as an AC powered tramway, with Trondheim-based technologies. The tramway was launched in 1908 and was in operation until 1974. Now, research is part of the ongoing activities at the NTNU Faculties as well as the University Museum.[7] The university has 4377 scientific staff, that conduct research in more than 120 laboratories, and is at any time running more than 2,000 research projects. Students and staff can take advantage of roughly 300 research agreements or exchange programs with 58 institutions worldwide. NTNU has decided four Strategic Research Areas for the period 2014-2023, such as NTNU Energy, NTNU Health, NTNU Oceans and NTNU Sustainability, which were chosen on the basis of social relevance, professional quality and the potential for interdisciplinary cooperation. Research Centres[edit] The university hosts six National Centres of Excellence (SFF), seven Centres for Research-based Innovation (SFI), and three Centres for Environment-friendly Energy Research (FME), which are mainly funded by The Research Council of Norway.[8] NTNU is also co-organizing several centers with SINTEF. Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience[edit] The fifteenth Kavli Institute was inaugurated at NTNU in 2007, as Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, which was the fourth Kavli Institute in neuroscience in the world and the first Kavli Institute in Northern Europe.[9] In 2012, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg opened the Norwegian Brain Centre as an outgrowth of NTNU's Kavli Institute [10] one of the largest research laboratories of its kind in the world. Enabling Technologies[edit] NTNU has funded the fundamental long-term research and infrastructure through three Enabling Technologies such as NTNU Biotechnology,[11] NTNU Digital[12] and Nano@NTNU.[13] Research Excellence[edit] NTNU Research Excellence is an initiative to develop elite researchers and research groups in international class, which was launched in 2013, and includes established and new initiatives. The established initiatives are financed by the Research Council of Norway, the EU, and private-sectors (R&D), while the new initiatives are funded by NTNU's own funds in light of strategic prioritization of NTNU's resources. These cover a number of research funding schemes including Outstanding Academic Fellows Programme, Onsager Fellowship Programme, K.G. Jebsen Centres, EU projects, and ERC grants.[14][15] NTNU participates in about 70 projects in the EU Horizon 2020 Framework Program.[16] NTNU- SINTEF Partnership[edit] NTNU works closely with SINTEF, Scandinavia's largest independent research institute and one of the largest contract research organizations in Europe, which is integrated into NTNU Campuses. The cooperation of NTNU and SINTEF has been further developed through the project "Better Together", which was launched in 2014.[17] The research collaboration includes a number of joint research laboratories, for example: Gemini Centres: NTNU and SINTEF have established a wide range of Gemini Centres. Scientific groups with parallel interests coordinate their scientific efforts and jointly operate their resources. MARINTEK: MARINTEK has more than 70 years of experience in the developing of cost-effective, high-performance ships, where model testing in their laboratories constitutes an important element. It provides testing facilities, expertise, and analytical tools for developing operationally efficient and safe ship concepts. MARINTEK is located at the NTNU Department of Marine Technology, and has recently joined SINTEF Ocean. Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre: Rolls-Royce Marine, MARINTEK, and NTNU have had a close collaboration for more than 30 years, with cooperation in the development of propellers, propulsion systems, ship designs, and various ship equipment. The Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre is a long-term research collaboration between NTNU, MARINTEK and Rolls-Royce Marine, with a special focus on propellers and propulsion in waves and off-design conditions. NTNU NanoLab: NTNU NanoLab aims to facilitate a collaborative research environment for scientists within the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, electrical engineering, materials technology and medical research. The research activities are carried out in collaboration with SINTEF. SINTEF Energy Lab: SINTEF Energy Lab represents the next generation energy laboratories, and provide important tools for development of future energy solutions and power systems. It has a wide range of experimental facilities in different areas of Electric Power Engineering from High Voltage Technology to Power Electronics. The research activities are application-based and are carried out in close collaboration with NTNU. The Gas Technology Centre: The Gas Centre seeks to exploit the synergism of multidisciplinary research into the natural gas value chain. The centre is the largest natural gas research- and educational centre in Norway, located at NTNU. Publishing[edit]
To increase Open Access publishing, NTNU has established a publishing
fund.[18]
In 2008 NTNU's digital institutional repository was founded. The
intention was to establish a full-text archive for the documentation
of the scientific output of the institution, and to make as much as
possible of the material available online, both nationally and
internationally.
In addition to the research articles and books, intended for academics
and researchers both inside and outside the university, NTNU
disseminates news to the public about the institution and its research
and results.
Universitetsavisa, which translates The University Newspaper, is the
news and discussion paper of the university, available only in
Norwegian. It was established in 1991. For a period it existed in both
printed and digital editions, but since 2002 it is only available
online.[19]
GEMINI publishes research news from NTNU and the independent research
group
SINTEF in both English and Norwegian. It is published in both a
printed and a digital version.[20]

NTNU has more than 300 cooperative or exchange agreements with 60 universities worldwide, and several international student exchange programmes. There are, at any given time, around 2,600 foreign students at the university.[1] NTNU Teaching Excellence[edit] In 2015, NTNU established an initiative called ″NTNU Teaching Excellence″.[26] Student life[edit] Matriculation day at Campus NTNU Gløshaugen, 2008 The Students' Society Building known as Studentersamfundet (the red building) at Campus Gløshaugen A close up of the Students' Society Studentersamfundet NTNU welcomes students from all over the world, and offers more than
60 international master programmes as well as PhD programmes, which
all are taught in English. PhD vacancies are announced on the
university website[27] and are paid as academic staff, that offers one
of the world's best PhD fellowships as well as employment benefits
under Norwegian law. There are no tuition fees at NTNU. However, the
international students have to guarantee their living expenses if they
are not offered a scholarship.
NTNU students have a clear presence in the city of Trondheim. The most
famous student organization is the Studentersamfundet i Trondhjem,
also known as "the red round house" after its architectural form;
