Compendium of Projects from Previous Programme Phase COMPENDIUM OF PROJECTS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC – EEA AND NORWAY GRANTS (CZ07) As a consequence of environmental issues, Norwegians have recently tended towards owning only one car per household. In cities, increasing numbers of people choose to subscribe to car sharing services instead of owning their own car. www.studyinnorway.no The railway network density in the Czech Republic is one of the best in Europe. Trains are operated by Czech Railways. The railway network crosses the border of the Czech Republic at 30 crossings, which shows that the country is well connected to the European rail network. Trains run between most European cities and Prague every day, including first- and second-class carriages as well as carriages with couchettes or beds. For example, the journey from Paris to Prague takes about 15 and a half hours, Prague - Berlin, four hours and 40 minutes, Prague - Vienna, five and a half hours, and Prague – Warsaw, nine and a half hours. www.czech.cz/en/Life-Work/How-things-work-here/Transport/By-train As opposed to the vast majority of European countries, there is no train network in Iceland. www.lonelyplanet.com/iceland/transport/getting-around/train ABOUT THE PROGRAMME The EEA and Norway grants have been represented in the Czech Republic since 2004, when the Czech Republic joined the EU. The beginning of the funds, however, dates back to 1994, when Eu- ropean Economic Area – EEA (in English EEA – European Economic Area) was established. Over the period 2004–2009, which was the first in the Czech Republic, the Czech Republic received sup- port of 83 million euros. Norway, in addition to contributing to EEA grants, established also Norway funds. The primary objective of EEA and Norway grants is reducing socio-economic disparities in Europe and strengthening bilateral relations between the Czech Republic and donor states (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). In the second period, identified as 2009–2014, the Czech Republic received totally 132 million euros. The newcomer states to the EU in 2007 and 2013 joined the funds in this period as well. In May 2016, an agreement was signed for the third period, ie. 2014–2021. For the Czech Republic, there is prepared 185 million euros from EEA grants. Bilateral Scholarhip Programme (CZ07) was in the second pe- riod (2009–2014) one of the 15 implemented EEA and Norway grants programmes in the Czech Republic. Its main objective is to strengthen bilateral relations between Czech educational institu- tions and educational institutions in the three donor states. Over- all, the cooperation of schools earmarked more than 4 million eu- ros. During the two years of project implementation (2014–2016) there was 77 projects and 243 individual mobilities implemented.

  • New Records of the Rare Gastropods Erato Voluta and Simnia Patula, and First Record of Simnia Hiscocki from Norway
    Fauna norvegica 2017 Vol. 37: 20-24. Short communication New records of the rare gastropods Erato voluta and Simnia patula, and first record of Simnia hiscocki from Norway Jon-Arne Sneli1 and Torkild Bakken2 Sneli J-A, and Bakken T. 2017. New records of the rare gastropods Erato voluta and Simnia patula, and first record of Simnia hiscocki from Norway. Fauna norvegica 37: 20-24. New records of rare gastropod species are reported. A live specimen of Erato voluta (Gastropoda: Triviidae), a species considered to have a far more southern distribution, has been found from outside the Trondheimsfjord. The specimen was sampled from a gravel habitat with Modiolus shells at 49–94 m depth, and was found among compound ascidians, its typical food resource. Live specimens of Simnia patula (Caenogastropoda: Ovulidae) have during the later years repeatedly been observed on locations on the coast of central Norway, which is documented by in situ observations. In Egersund on the southwest coast of Norway a specimen of Simnia hiscocki was in March 2017 observed for the first time from Norwegian waters, a species earlier only found on the south-west coast of England. Also this was documented by pictures and in situ observations. The specimen of Simnia hiscocki was for the first time found on the octocoral Swiftia pallida. doi: 10.5324/fn.v37i0.2160.

  • Strategic Plan 2011-2016: the NTNU University Museum -Revised Version 2014-2016
    Strategic Plan 2011-2016: The NTNU University Museum -revised version 2014-2016. Our history The NTNU University Museum has its origins in the Norwegian Royal Society of Sciences and Letters (DKNVS), which was founded in 1760. The museum is based on the first organized scientific collections in Norway. The Storting (Norwegian Parliament) resolved to form the University of Trondheim in 1968, and the museum was transferred to the University on 1 April 1984. Further reorganization after 1 January 1996 led to the establishment of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). In 2005, the NTNU University Museum was raised to the same level as the university faculties, with representation on the Council of Deans and the University Research Committee. Our vision The NTNU University Museum embraces the world! Our role The NTNU University Museum develops and communicates knowledge of nature, culture, and science. It safeguards and preserves scientific collections, making them available for research, management and dissemination. Our values Our values are clarity, openness and collaboration. Our strengths Our strengths are our rich scientific collections, our interdisciplinary expertise, our long tradition as a producer of knowledge, and our central location in the city. Our challenges The NTNU University Museum must meet NTNU’s goal of developing an environment for outstanding research in the areas where the museum has particular expertise and qualifications. The NTNU University Museum must respond to the challenges of its role as a key player in NTNU’s goal of increased visibility and contact with the community. The NTNU University Museum must develop a creative working environment and inspire professional challenges that make it attractive to all groups of employees working at the museum.

(max 20 word): Preliminary tittel: Kort beskrivelse av oppgaven (max 300 word): Short description of the Obesity is a major risk factor for lifestyle diseases. Lifestyle is affecting severity of project: chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases and rheumatism. Common symptom between obesity, lifestyle and chronic disease is inflammation (1,2). Investigations regarding molecular mechanisms of inflammation will give insights on how different aspects of lifestyle, hormonal responses, e.g. insulin, will affect disease progression and severity (3,4). Hormones under study include cytokines, insulin, chemokines, eicosanoids and adipokines. Model systems: Synoviocytes, cellular model for rheumatoid arthritis; Monocytes, cellular model for white blood cells. Possible master theses: 1) Characterization of insulin signaling in synoviocytes 2) Characterization of adipokin signaling in synoviocytes 3) Characterization of microRNA as a regulatory mechanism of synoviocyte biology 4) Characterisation of TLR2/4-induced responses, and possible involvement of cPLA2 in an osteoclast cell model 5) Metabolomics detection human samples (collaboration with Dr Jens Rohloff) 6) Systems biology of human intervention samples (collaboration with Prof. Martin Kuiper.
