The group has excellent scorings on scientific merits and project manager\/group. The boldness\/innovation aspect is also in the range of very good to excellent. The committee fully agreed that the field of the productive marginal ice zone is a strategic field that UiT should give the highest priority to. The importance and impact of marine research in the northern areas is tremendous for Norway, and probably the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p>You can also read the related article (in Norwegian) in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itromso.no\/nyheter\/2015\/11\/18\/Slik-skal-UiT-gruppen-bli-verdensledende-innen-forskning-11822495.ece#navClose\" target=\"_blank\">iTroms\u00f8<\/a> from Nov 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Norwegian government provided financial support for one research group at UiT to become word-leading.
