Exchanges & Collaborations

We welcome visiting researchers, student exchanges, and new collaborations

Exchange

Student & Staff Exchanges

We welcome visiting researchers and students from partner institutions for short- or long-term exchanges. Exchange visits can focus on genomics, phenomics, bioinformatics, or gene editing. Funding may be available through Erasmus+, EEA grants, or bilateral agreements.

Collaboration

Research Collaborations

We are always interested in new research collaborations, both nationally and internationally. If your work aligns with our focus areas — nitrogen use efficiency, genomic selection, phenomics, AI/ML, or functional genomics — we would love to hear from you.

Master Thesis Projects

Available thesis projects for MSc students at NMBU

Master Thesis

Machine Learning for Protein Prediction in Perennial Ryegrass

Develop and train machine learning models to predict crude protein content in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) using drone-acquired multispectral and hyperspectral images from field trials. Involves image processing, deep learning model development, and field work.

📅 Start: Spring/Autumn 2026 📍 NMBU, Ås
Master Thesis

Genomic Prediction Using Multi-Omics Data Integration

Explore how integrating genomic markers with transcriptomic and phenomic data can improve prediction accuracy for complex traits in forage grasses. Computational project using R/Python.

📅 Start: Spring/Autumn 2026 📍 NMBU, Ås
Master Thesis

GWAS for Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Timothy

Conduct a genome-wide association study to identify genetic markers associated with nitrogen use efficiency and related traits in a diverse panel of timothy (Phleum pratense) accessions.

📅 Start: Spring/Autumn 2026 📍 NMBU, Ås
