International cooperation is one of the success criteria defined
by the Research Council of Norway for an SFI centre. Six of the
industrial partners in SFI CASA are from outside Norway. SFI
CASA also has strong interaction with universities and research
organizations abroad. The key researchers in SFI CASA all have
an extensive international network. This is a result of many
years of high quality research made visible through publication
in peer-reviewed journals. In addition, three of the Centre
professors are editors in top international journals.
The cooperation with top international research groups
ensures that the Centre transfers leading-edge technology to
the partners and at the same time is able to define innovative
research areas of importance to the partners. SFI CASA has
had cooperation with the following universities and research
laboratories in 2015:
Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan/Laboratorie de Mécanique
et Technologie (ENS/LMT), France; Federal University of Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil; University of São Paulo, Brazil; Department
of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Toyama,
Japan; Department of Metallurgy and Ceramics Science,
Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan; Karlsruhe Institute of
Technology, Germany; IMPETUS Afea AB, Sweden; KTH Royal
Institute of Technology, Sweden; Joint Research Centre,
Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen, Italy.
