After a week full of achievements, we’re thrilled to announce our first research project in collaboration with SINTEF Nord, where we are taking the lead under the project Physis.

Hi, my name is Sara, and I am currently working as an intern at Kelpinor while writing my master’s thesis in collaboration with the company. The journey at Kelpinor has been quite a unique experience so I thought I would share it with you. My internship started in August and was supposed to end November 1st, but as of now, I am still here and will be for another few weeks. Hopefully, while reading this post, you might understand why.
