CIENS is a member of PEER - Partnership for European Environmental Research

FRAM –  High North Research Centre for Climate and the Environment 

Framsenteret consist of scientists from 21 institutions involved in interdisciplinary research and outreach in the fields of natural science, technology and social sciences.

HydroCen (Norwegian Research Centre for Hydropower Technology) skal levere kunnskap og innovative løsninger til norsk vannkraftsektor. 

NTNU er vertsinstitusjon og hovedforskningspartner i HydroCen sammen med SINTEF Energi og Norsk institutt for naturforskning (NINA). HydroCen har rundt 50 nasjonale og internasjonale partnere fra forskning, industri og forvaltning.

Miljøalliansen represents a strategic collaboration between the environmental research institutes in Norway. 

Strong research environments in Norway come together to produce new knowledge that can help stop the loss of biodiversity and ensure sustainable use of nature and nature's benefits. NTNU, SINTEF, NINA and NIBIO are behind the Centre for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (CeBES).

The European Science-Policy Interface on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services.

Alternet brings together leading institutes from 18 European countries. They share the goal of integrating their research capability to: assess changes in biodiversity, analyse the effect of those changes on ecosystem services and inform the public and policy makers about this at a European scale.

Joint program Hydropower in The European Energy Research Alliance (EERA)

Norwegian Research Centre on Wind will bring forward outstanding research and innovation to reduce the cost of wind energy, facilitate its sustainable development, create jobs and grow exports.
