As the chair of the board of CenSES and Pro-Rector for
research at NTNU, I ampleased to say that CenSES is a central
part of NTNU’s commitment within energy related research.
The cooperation with research partners and user partners in
the center is a good example of the coordinated e ort needed
to de ne transition strategies for a more sustainable energy
system.
This kind of cooperation is fundamental in order to further
develop NTNU´s strategic energy programover the next
10 years.
CenSES has in its rst years contributed with a high number
of publications coming out of the research as well as
dissemination to policy makers, companies and the public
in general.
It is our hope at NTNU that the further research in CenSES
will contribute to the research-based knowledge needed to
understand and shape the energy and climate policy of the
future.
