Department of Applied Data Science, Digital Systems-IFE

IFE-Digital Systems researches areas that are complex and of critical importance to society in relation to digitalisation, with a special emphasis on the digital transformation of organisations. Also handles all projects that involve interaction between people, technology and organisation, and safety in the complex process industries. In addition, we generate revenues from international and national contracts. The sector is working strategically to increase the proportion of research projects (EU, Research Council of Norway, etc.) in the project portfolio. In addition, it is seeking to boost expertise from areas such as intelligent systems, machine learning, visualisation and big data.

We believe that we have a strong basis for succeeding, since our research has for many years been highly relevant to the digital shift in the private and public sectors – an area of ever-increasing demand. Our unique expertise in some areas of digitalisation, such as human-centred organisational design, IT risk and security, design of control rooms and alarm systems, automation and machine learning, means that we are better positioned in this area than other research institutes. We also have extensive experience in complex processes.
