Research
We engage in explorative and application-oriented research, working across academia, industry, and practice to develop new knowledge, materials, and forms of value.
“We investigate how underused biological resources can become new materials, products, and systems for a fossil-free future.”
This section presents selected research projects and consortia in which Bioregion Institute has participated, including projects supported by the Research Council of Norway, European programmes, and other research and innovation partnerships.
As an active consortium member, we connect biological resources with design, material development, industry, and regional value chains. We contribute through resource and value-chain mapping, exploratory research, hands-on material experimentation, prototyping, communication, and the translation of complex knowledge into tangible possibilities.
We believe research should be open to unexpected discoveries, rooted in real places and resources, and connected to practical use. Our work is guided by a simple ambition:
“Imagine what resources can become.”
“We are pleased to join new research projects and consortia where our experience in biomaterials, design, value creation, and application can contribute to meaningful change.”
