• 25.2.2004Monitoring corrosion in district heating systems

  Corrosion problems in district heating systems in the Nordic countries are rare. Nonetheless, corrosion is occasionally still responsible for leak problems and an important factor for process control and asset management. Thus, corrosion should be monitored as other important process parameters such as pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen.

• 25.2.2004Nordic Biofibre network established

  The Nordic Biofibre Network - Biofibre.net has so far created much better cooperation between Nordic industrial and academy actors in several bio-fibre branches. That is especially true for branches like pulp and paper and packaging. Representatives of these branches have been very active in the network. There are indications and the potential is large, that the network in the future may contribute very much to an improvement of the international business climate for small and semi-large Nordic companies.

• 25.2.2004FE-Design 2003

  Improved Usage of High Strength Steel by an Effective FE-based Design Methodology for Fatigue Loaded Complex Welded Structures The main goal of the projects is to improve the reliability and consistency and reduce the time and effort required to design complex welded structures that are subject to alternating loads. This has been achieved by developing and verifying integrated FEA and appropriate fatigue resistance data including weld quality.

• 24.2.2004Genanvendelse af vand og udnyttelse af restprodukter i rejeindustrien

  Begrebet renere teknologi anvendes om tiltag, der minimerer ressourceforbruget, forebygger emissioner samt dannelse af affald ved kilden frem for at anvende egentlige renseforanstaltninger. Renere teknologi dækker imidlertid også over renseforanstaltninger.

• 7.3.2003Over grænsen efter konkurrenceevne

  Rapporten ”Over grænsen efter konkurrenceevne” afdækker barrierer i erhvervslovgivningen for fusioner af virksomheder på tværs af Norden. Manglen på harmonisering af lovgivning mellom de nordiske land kan gå ud over konkurrenceevnen, og samtidig indebærer det ekstraomkostninger for nordiske virksomheder.

  Innovation is considered the engine of technological change and economic growth. Hence innovation policy lays much of the foundation for the future welfare development of the Nordic countries. It is therefore important that they develop sensible, coherent strategies in this area, as well as a set of policy measures that meet the specific needs of each countrys industry.

• 3.3.2003Flows of human capital in the Nordic countries 1988-1998

  Competence is a key ingredient for innovation and growth. The prosperity of a nation depends on the knowledge, skills and experience that can be put to work in the operation and development of its economic and social life.

• 28.2.2003Erhvervsudvikling og bredbåndsnet i nordens yderområder

  Med stigende satsning på udvikling af indformations- og kommunikationsteknologier tales om at betydningen af afstandsfaktoren ændres, og dermed at yderområders indplacering i arbejdsdelingen - og dermed i udviklingsprocessen - ændres. Hvis det er tilfældet er det nyttigt at vide mere om hvilket potentiale for erhvervs og egnsudvikling i yderområderne etablering af bredbåndsforbindelser rummer, og hvordan dette potentiale kan realiseres.

• 28.2.2003E-market qualification and training

  Electronic marketplaces with several buyers and many sellers will become increasingly important to enable companies to successfully reach their target markets, and effectively buy and sell products.
