The VISTA programme key areas

In 2019 the VISTA programme was restructured into supporting basic research centres with a sustainable and low-carbon focus:

VISTA centres for interdisciplinary research on future energy solutions

Key areas

Three key areas are defined for the VISTA programme:

  • Basin analysis, efficient resource identification and utilization, and unlocking new resources
  • Future development solutions
  • Sustainability, environment and low carbon solutions

Two centres

Currently two centres are in operation:

  1. NTNU VISTA CAROS – Centre for Autonomous Robotics Operations Subsea
  2. UiB CSD - Centre for Modeling of Coupled Subsurface Dynamic
