Using tools to encrypt communication is more difficult than it should be. Some newer tools exist, but are they easier to use than the earlier tools?

Can we identify the values that have guided the design of digital products? In this master’s thesis project, you will investigate what values are embedded in digital products and how to make these values visible and tangible.

Life Sceince Building

This thesis addresses how to create awareness of sustainability issues in a larger arena. We will focus on the new Life Science building. The building will be the new IFI neighbor (see Figure 1). The main activities inside the building are to research living organisms and life processes, and at the same time be innovative and take into consideration the impacts humans are doing in this world. Nowadays, not an easy task.

The upcoming Life Science hub, which will be located next to IFI as shown in Figure 1, will be Norway’s largest research building. The primarily focus inside will be on conducting research on living organisms and life processes while aiming to be innovative and mindful of the impact humans have on the world.

The Regenerative Technologies research group is working on several research projects focusing on sustainability. We have also master thesis projects available (see here). We are in addition open to master students who have their own idea for a master thesis topic in the field of regenerative design. Talk to us and we will see if we can develop it together into a master thesis proposal.

The Regenerative Technologies research group is working on several research projects on sustainability. We have two master thesis projects available (see here).  This master thesis focuses on how to design a low-energy website.  

Multi function plastic machine from "Precious Plastic Canaries"

The Sustainability Lab at IFI owns a so-called Precious Plastic machine, which includes a shredder, an injector, and an extruder. The machine is used to recycle plastic materials, such as left-overs from IFI’s 3D-printers, and to form them into new plastic artefacts. The machine can be seen in the Sustainability Lab and during the upcoming Forskningsdagene September 23-24, 2023 at Climate House in the Botanical Gardens.

The combination of green growth and digitalisation is presented as the transition needed toward a more sustainable future (EU Science Hub, 2022). 

Visualisation of energy data

Can we make people more aware of energy consumption? In other countries, people are aware of their energy use because energy is expensive or only accessible a few hours per day. How to do this in Norway where relatively cheap energy is available 24/7? In this master project, a team of students will work towards an installation in which energy consumption is visualised – and maybe even heard or felt – in a creative and informative manner.

The Technology and Sustainable Futures (TSF) research group aims to contribute to the transition to a just and sustainable future through active exploration of technology’s role in transition pathways. We ask: What are technologies that repair, restore, and regenerate beings, communities, and environments? Can we imagine a future in which all species, human and non-human, thrive together? How can the systematic approach to futures studies help develop and deploy technologies in ways that promote sustainable development? We focus on digital artefacts and digitalisation processes, and the practices that they shape.

With the rapid growth in implementations and use of DHIS2 (dhis2.org/hisp.uio.no) we have a need to professionalize and scale up the system and processes for handling new functional/non-functional requirements. The new processes and system must facilitate reception of inputs from users across the globe, track these inputs, assure that inputs are in an adequate format and finally pass them on to the software developers.

Students will be involved in an action-research project with the following cycle: 1) analyzing the existing situation and needs, 2) researching and analyzing potential approaches, 3) designing a process and pilot, 4) implementing the pilot, 5) evaluating the pilot and drawing key lessons, 6) if possible take part in implementing a full-scale processes.

Tone Bratteteig følger sjelden oppskriftene slavisk. Hun vil skape ting selv - enten det er matretter, strikketøy eller utedoer. Når det gjelder IT-verktøy er hun mest opptatt av at brukerne skal like det hun utvikler for dem.

Design-gruppa har fokus på design for demokrati. Vi er opptatt av hvordan brukerne opplever møtet med informasjonsteknologi. Vi forsker på hvordan kunnskap om bruk og brukere gir grunnlag for design av (bedre) teknologiske løsninger som styrker brukernes autonomi og handlingsrom. Vi forsker derfor også på design, og på hvordan designere kan legge til rette for at brukere kan delta i designarbeidet.
