The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is the largest university in Norway with about 40 000 students and 6 900 full-time equivalent staff. With its vision to create knowledge for a better world, NTNU has a main profile in science and technology focussed on the strategic areas sustainability, energy, oceans, and health. As LimnoPlast covers three of these areas, NTNU provides an excellent institutional environment to successfully implement the ETN.
