Do you want to start a Gemini centre?

Now is your chance! A Gemini centre is an arena for building larger, more robust, higher-quality academic communities that will be better able to seize and develop new opportunities. The fall application deadline is October 15.

The Gemini Center is a model for strategic collaboration between professional groups at NTNU, SINTEF, the University of Oslo, St. Olavs Hospital and NTNU Social Research.

The Gemini Collaboration represents a model for strategic research coordination between parallel research groups at NTNU, SINTEF, University of Oslo, St. Olav’s Hospital and NTNU Social Research. SINTEF coordinates the Gemini Collaboration.

A Gemini center is a formalized and structured collaboration between academic communities where ambitions are concretized through shared goals and strategies. The centers are strategically anchored through a board of line managers. The collaboration can include research, education, commercialization, internationalization, lab collaboration and external networking.

The Gemini center can have various purposes, such as: developing new academic areas, addressing major and interdisciplinary societal challenges, being a platform for developing SFI/FME/EU applications, or coordinating joint activities and laboratories.

Collaborating professional communities can apply for Gemini Centre status twice a year.

The application deadline is 15 October 2024.
