Focus of the research
As a research assistant working on the HYDROGENi project, you will be free to suggest a relevant research question, and will be supported by senior academic staff at the Institute and within the project to refine it.
The candidate's work will focus on legal issues relevant to the development of hydrogen value chains and markets, enabling a sustainable hydrogen economy. Comparative analysis is also possible. We are particularly interested in topics related to contractual and regulatory frameworks for hydrogen projects covering production, transport (including shipping), consumption and trading.
The research should focus on the European context, and must be relevant for applications in Norway. The research assistant is expected to submit a master thesis that can serve as the basis for a publication as part of the HYDROGENi project.
The master thesis and the publication can be either in Norwegian or English.
