ARC is tackling issues related to energy and the synergistic management of greenhouse gasses. We encourage interdisciplinary cooperation and seek to combine existing technologies to create new solutions that can be harmoniously integrated into our society and environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"72\" src=\"https:\/\/arc.uit.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Centerpiece-embossed3-cropped-300x72.jpg\" alt=\"arc uit sustainable energy\" class=\"wp-image-716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arc.uit.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Centerpiece-embossed3-cropped-300x72.jpg 300w, https:\/\/arc.uit.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Centerpiece-embossed3-cropped-768x183.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arc.uit.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Centerpiece-embossed3-cropped-1024x245.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/arc.uit.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Centerpiece-embossed3-cropped-422x101.jpg 422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The core of ARC is sustainable living and the wellbeing of people. Our people-centric philosophy is embodied in the snowflake symbol, reflecting unity and balance between the people and the natural environment of the Arctic region.<br><br>ARC is aligned with the mission of UiT in the 21st century to engage in a new approach to problem solving. Namely, to shift away from analytic approaches where solutions are sought for isolated problems, and rather consider the phenomenon of energy in a holistic way: The interconnectedness of all its intrinsic components, both technological and social.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An advantage of this approach is that resources can be distributed where they are needed the most, when the development of a project is considered as a whole. Rather than rushing to create new technology to solve a problem, available technology can be given new applications. If this does not solve the problem, it still pinpoints the missing pieces and allows for a focused and efficient process of innovation. This has the further advantage of building on top of existing infrastructure and forming rapid collaboration rather than competing paradigms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ARC goes a step beyond analysing problems as isolated cases and looks at putting the necessary ingredients together that can provide <a href=\"https:\/\/arc.uit.no\/projects-renewable-energy\/senja\/\">working solutions<\/a> in terms of sustainability. In this respect, the energy problem is not seen as a purely technological issue but is also treated in its<a href=\"https:\/\/smartsenja.no\"> societal context<\/a>. The future of sustainable energy through renewable sources is being worked on by ARC together with a broad team for collabaoration through UiT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ARC initiative is established as an answer to the realisation that higher educational institutions should both provide solutions and participate proactively in solving problems in society, while caring for the public\u2019s concerns and managing perceptions related to its value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The structure of ARC is embracing this new way of looking at things. We establish broad cooperation over disciplinary borders to find common grounds. We aim to solve the challenges we face through synthesis of thoughts and methods. Create technology that agrees with- and maintains the values of society, so that society embraces the technology it produces. A symbiotic relationship &#8211; in balance with nature.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fundamental objective of ARC at UiT is to accelerate the essential transition of Norway from an oil dependent society to a sustainable society using &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.5 -
