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:
- NTNU VISTA CAROS – Centre for Autonomous Robotics Operations Subsea
