iEarth is a consortium and Centre of Excellence in Education aiming to transform geoscience education in Norway. By redefining the national geoscience skills needs and then designing the optimum learning practices to deliver them, iEarth will ensure the next generation of Earth Scientists will help us meet the societal challenges we currently face.

HOTMUD is a research and educational project funded by the Norwegian Research Council (INTPART project) to strengthen and broaden the cooperation between CEED and five world-leading institutes. The goal of HOTMUD matches one of the CEED’s key activities that focus on the impact of deep fluids release in the atmosphere during modern and palaeo events. Moreover, we aim at becoming the  first multi-national group offering in-depth training of students in this important topic.

The GeoSource project is a Norway-Brazil cooperation in higher education in Geosciences with a special focus on the links between extraction of geological resources, consumption patterns and sustainable development.

NIR is a network primarily for young researches of meteorite impacts on the Earth and other planetary bodies.

The Perma-Nordnet research network aims to take on an important role in permafrost research, addressing the relation between thermal, bio-geochemical and hydrological processes. The task of the network is to initiate and catalyse such efforts, as well as to build, carry forward and tighten existing co-operations between the network members.
