Short description

NTNU is the largest university in Norway. We are a general university with a special focus on technology and natural sciences. Climate change has increased the problems for the Norwegian infrastructure, especially related to increased precipitation intensity. We see much more damage related to flooding and water-induced landslides. Since Norway is scarcely populated it is difficult to protect all the infrastructure and the use of nature-based solutions will be important to succeed. We will use the knowledge created in NATURE-DEMO in our teaching to create candidates with better understanding on how to team up with nature instead of just trying to fight it.

Role

NTNUs main part in NATURE-DEMO is in WP1. We are leading Task 1.2 and contributing to Task 1.1. In addition, we will oversee the quality assurance system in the project by leading Task 7.4. NTNU contributes to all WPs..

  • NATURE-DEMO Newsletter no. 8

    Our May 2026 newsletter is packed with updates on our efforts to advance nature-based solutions (NbS) for critical infrastructure. As the NATURE-DEMO project reaches its two-year milestone, we reflect on a period of intense collaboration and scientific innovation. With the successful completion of the first three Work Packages (WPs) on April 30th, the project has transitioned from a phase of digital and conceptual framework development into the real-world deployment phase.

  • NATURE-DEMO at two years: Celebrating milestones and launching the next phase in Brașov, Romania
