International Research Training group NUPUS Non-linearities and Upscaling in Porous Media

The international research training group NUPUS (Non-linearities and Upscaling in Porous Media Flow) aims to improve the qualification of doctoral researchers. This is facilitated through conferences and researcher/student exchanges. Each year an international NUPUS-meeting is held in Freudenstadt, Germany. In addition a larger conference will be organized in the project period: The "2nd International Conference on Non-linearities and Upscaling in Porous Media", will take place in Bergen, September, 2013.

The main objectives of this project are to
•    Develop educational programs and competence building towards CCS through participation and student exchanges within NUPUS.
•    Develop new model concepts for geological storage of CO₂ through participation in the International Research Training School NUPUS.
•    Integrate benchmark experience and data-sets into the Nupus collaboration.
•    Establish collaboration between NUPUS and the Norwegian CO₂ School.
•    Organize the “2nd International Conference on Non-linearities and Upscaling in Porous Media", which is planned to take place in Bergen in 2013.
