| Goal 4: Quality education"Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all." The research group is involved in education and teaching several students at NTNU through different courses. The courses are in the field of renewable energy and sustainability. Moreover, the research group uses state-of-the-art research cases for the exercises in the courses, and also allows students to join the research group and work in the Waterpower laboratory. Thus, students will have access to the new research technology and knowledge. |

| 70% | Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy"Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all." Around 675 million people still live in the dark! Main research field for the research group is hydropower, where this goal is highly relevant and directly associated. The research group focuses on conducting research that enables sustainable and affordable technological solution for the hydropower. The group conducts both experimental and numerical research on hydraulic turbines that provides clean and low cost energy to all. |

Goal 13: Climate action"Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts." Hydropower has critical role in both reducing the climate impact and providing secured and stable energy. The turbine efficiency is high that means the losses are minimum. However, the current efforts are aimed to provide solutions that has minimum impact on the environment and enhance sustainability. The additional effort is also put up on reducing the carbon footprint for upcoming hydropower projects providing alternative approaches and technological solutions through research and development. |
