From the head of
department
Christian Michelsen
Research has taken a highly valuable initiative by proposing the
establishment of a new state-owned renewable energy company, Greenstat, which will create projects within renewable energy.
This subject has received a lot of attention lately. The latest is the
article in Teknisk Ukeblad
from Wednesday last week. On Monday, the project leader Vegard
Laukhammer will present the concept to the
Committee of Energy and Envorinment at the
Parliament. This could actually be what is needed to ensure funding for
R&D and business development within renewable energy. At UoB, this initiative should be understood as a
constructive contribution to the debate on the Akademia
agreement. I think that the establishment of such a company is more realistic
than expecting a petroleum company such as Statoil to provide more funding
for renewable energy than the amount provided at the moment. Have a good one, News and general

Many of you
know that we have a center named DAMARA (Norwegian Centre for Dark Matter
Analysis, Research and Applications) at IFT. The center is
managed by BFS-researcher Heidi Sandaker.
DAMARA is also involved in the CTA-initiative (Cherenkov Telescope Array) which was recently mentioned in an article in Nature.
Those of you who would like to know more about dark matter and the future
research on dark matter are encouraged to read this article. Open Meeting at the Norwegian
