Annual report 2023
Department of Energy and Process Engineering | NTNU
Looking Back
As we summarise yet another year for EPT, I take a moment to contemplate the triumphs and challenges that have shaped our journey at the Department of Engineering and Process Technology (EPT) in 2023.
This year, much like the one before, has tested our resilience, yet I am proud to witness the unwavering commitment that defines our department. Despite the more limited and unpredictable conditions related to the adoption of a new finance model for higher education, EPT remains steadfast against the waves of challenges.
A heartfelt thank you to every member of the EPT family. Each of you plays a crucial role in shaping our department into a vibrant hub of academic excellence.
Here's to a year of resilience, achievements, and the promise of new horizons in the coming year.


Our mission
EPT shares the mission that as part of a university, we educate outstanding graduates with strong analytical and practical abilities, and our research focuses on expanding knowledge in science and technology for a better world. Furthermore, EPT’s mission is to contribute to Norway’s role in developing a viable foundation for society at regional, national and global levels.
Through research and education, the department shall contribute to the understanding of sustainable solutions, helping to solve complex problems and global challenges to ensure effective resource utilisation. In line with NTNU’s goal to move from mission to action, we address the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (ntnu.no/baerekraftmaal) that are relevant based on the research and educational activity at the department.
