Contact and access

As a national infrastructure, the NORTEM facilities are available for use by researchers outside the funding consortium. Access is granted after a consideration of the needs of the user and the feasibility of the project. There are three main routes to gain access:

1. through long term scientific project collaboration with core NORTEM staff members
2. hiring an operator from UiO or SINTEF
3. training own staff as a TEM operator

The capacity for training of new operators is limited, and there might be a waiting list to receive training. In all cases, the projects using the infrastructure must pay instrument rent and operator costs according to the current NORTEM rates.
