ORGANIZATION
AND
LOCATION
SFI Metal Production is hosted by NTNU and the Centre
manager is Aud Nina Wærnes from SINTEF. The General
Assembly (GA) where all the partners, ten industry part-
ners and three research partners, are represented
makes decisions that involve major changes to the con-
sortium. Ragnar Tronstad (Elkem) is the leader of GA.
The GA approved the members of the Executive
Committee (EC) and Anne Borg (NTNU) was appoint-
ed chair of the EC at the first GA meeting in June 2015.
In addition to Anne Borg, the other members of the EC
are Nancy Holt (Hydro), Ketil Rye (Alcoa), Leif Hunsbedt
(Eramet), Ragnar Tronstad (Elkem), Eli Aamot (SINTEF),
Tor Einar Johnsen (The Research Council of Norway,
RCN).
SFI Metal Production’s Centre management is located at
NTNU Gløshaugen in Trondheim. In May 2016, we moved
into the newly redecorated third floor in “Bergbygget” at
Alfred Getz vei 2. On this floor, industry, SINTEF, NTNU
and students are sitting side by side.
The Centre Management Team consists of the Centre
manager Aud N. Wærnes (SINTEF), project coordi-
nator Marianne Lenes (NTNU) and the five Research
Domain (RD) leaders. The RD leaders are: Arne Petter
Ratvik (SINTEF), Merete Tangstad (NTNU), Anne Kvithyld
(SINTEF), Gabriella Tranell (NTNU) and Leiv Kolbeinsen
(NTNU).
