Shows the participants in the research group.

Molde University College has study programs that directly or indirectly involve expertise and knowledge about the provision of services for people with needs for different kinds of assistance. 

Keywords: offshore oil, gas, and wind energy production; renewables; offshore energy logistics; design of energy supply chains; energy transition; socioeconomical appraisal of energy supply chains; hydrogen; carbon capture and decarbonization; optimization, simulation, digitalization, cost-benefit analysis, games.

Following, but not restricted to, the Norwegian reality, EneLog's main field of research is upstream and midstream offshore energy logistics. The group performs economic analysis of logistics processes in energy supply chains and develops decision-making tools for energy logistics infrastructure design and logistics activities planning.

The research group is focused on questions relating to global challenges and how an increasingly interconnected world generates processes of relevance to law, politics, identity and organisations.

Qualitative lifeworld research has in recent decades has become increasingly important in health and social science studies. The possible reason is that the research is "close to practice" in the sense that it addresses problems related to patients / clients / users ‘and health workers’ experiences. The main focus of this research group is vulnerable groups in the health and social services.

The research group Interprofessional Innovation in Practice and Education brings together research on collaboration, innovation, and service development in complex practice settings. The group focuses on how interprofessional work, supported by digital solutions and practice-based knowledge development, can contribute to more coherent, coordinated, and sustainable services within health, welfare, and education.

Molde University College started a bachelor’s program in legal science in 2020. Since then, we have increased staff with master’s degrees in legal science, which has led to an increased need for a dedicated research group in legal science.

The research group’s members are primarily employed at Molde University College. Employees in municipal health services or health enterprises may participate in certain collaborative projects. Central to the group’s work is to focus on research and development within clinical nursing.

The Organic Digital Domain Research Group seeks to understand the fundamental interaction between naturally evolved agents and artificially created technologies. It uses the multidisciplinary Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) methodologies while embracing the theoretical foundations of bioinformatics, neuroscience, and complexity theory. The research group is led by James Wen, Professor in Human Computer Interaction, and Bjørn Jæger, Professor of Informatics at Molde University College.

Our research group works with the physiology of human performance in health and disease across the lifespan from childhood to old age.

The group performs research on quantitative methods with applications in planning and decision support. Organizations are faced with increasingly complex and challenging decisions, and have access to an increasing amount of data. Many decisions that have traditionally been made manually, can now be analyzed efficiently with the help of mathematical models and computerized calculations.
