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.
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 University of Oslo hosts ChatGPT on its own servers. This will guarantee that our privacy rights are secured. But how about securing the university's commitment to its sustainability strategy? Can we balance values such as privacy and climate goals?
The University of Oslo hosts 1.000.000 web pages. One million web pages with images, videos, links to lecture slides, pdfs, etc. How much energy is needed to keep these pages and their content accessible? What are the CO2 emissions of hosting 1,000,000 web pages per year?
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.
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).
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.
