University of Oslo

The University of Oslo offers education on Bachelor, Master and PhD level in disciplines fundamental to hydrogen technology; mathematics, physics, chemistry, and materials science, and also supporting disciplines such as ICT and statistics/risk analysis. The Bachelor and Master programme Materials, Energy, and Nanotechnology (MENA) is specially designed as an education in materials science with focus on hydrogen and other new energy technologies.

The University is furthermore engaged in research in a wide range of fields related to hydrogen technology. Most of this is organised within the Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN) that comprises groups from Departments of Physics and Chemistry. Specific topics include petroleum chemistry and catalysis, gas separation membrane materials, hydrogen storage materials, solid electrolytes and other materials for fuel cells and electrolysers, semiconductors for solar energy conversion devices, materials for sensors, structural materials, and related fundamental research in materials science and nanotechnology and their underlying basic disciplines.

The University of Oslo commercialises its research through its technology transfer institution Birkeland Innovasjon AS, http://birkeland.uio.no

The University partakes in a number of national and international programmes and projects in or related to hydrogen technology.
