7 Goal 1 » Long-term, world class research The Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology (IVT) shall engage in long-term, world class research, emphasizing research areas that contribute to a societal development characterized by sustainability and innovation. Strategies (for example): –Concentrate on the primary areas with good potential –Reinforce strong research groups (sub-departments), while making good use of and further developing our laboratories. –Focus on international research collaborations and agility –Measure quality and relevance using international criteria. IVT’s GOALS AND STRATEGIES Vision: Technology for viability & innovation

8 IVT’s GOALS AND STRATEGIES The Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology (IVT) shall, through research based teaching, produce candidates with high competencies, prone to engage in knowledge-based development and innovation. Strategies (for example): –Integrate teaching and research, using customized academic profiles –Further develop international Masters degree programs –Establish degree programs tied to innovation and invention –Develop alliances with institutions abroad –Ensure that post-graduate education operations are in line with market needs and demands Vision: Technology for viability & innovation Goal 2 » Educate for knowledge-based development & innovation 2010

9 Goal 3 » Communicate technology’s significance for societal development The Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology (IVT) shall further and convey knowledge concerning technology to our community, and emphasize its significance for sustainable societal development. Strategies (for example): –Promote research arenas (sub-departments) in such a way as to create awareness concerning their contributions to society –Encourage and contribute to a sufficient focus on technology and the natural sciences in the school system, on all levels. –Participate in research policy processes, asserting the value creation opportunities that fall within our Faculties academic arenas (sub-departments). IVT’s GOALS AND STRATEGIES Vision: Technology for viability & innovation

10 Goal 4 » Develop the organizational culture and core values The Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology (IVT) shall further develop our organizational culture, values, attitudes, and management philosophy, in support of both a good working environment for our employees and a first-rate learning environment for our students. Strategies (for example): –Further develop an organizational culture that reinforces our identity and shared values (working conditions, interaction, leadership, respect). –Create a stimulating learning environment (motivating, life-long learning, utilize laboratories and engineering workshops). –Develop a model system for dimensioning the research groups (sub- departments) appropriating resources, and using human resource policy initiatives. IVT’s GOALS AND STRATEGIES Vision: Technology for viability & innovation

11 Innovation – NTNU’s goal NTNU wants to stimulate entrepreneurship among students, staff and the community, and thus contribute to building more value into Norway’s economy. Innovation should be an integral part of the university’s three main areas of operation – education, research and dissemination. (NTNU Board decision, April 2001) INNOVATION AND INDUSTRY

12 Innovation Gløshaugen Innovation Center (now full, with 20 businesses) Lectures on entrepreneurship Technology Transfer Office AS Help and support for people with ideas Idea search in the academic communities Business plan competition (Venture Cup) FAKTAINNOVATION AND INDUSTRY Results 2003: 30 business ideas suitable for commercialisation 15 patents registered from NTNU 7 businesses established with NTNU as a starting point
